In this approach, stress placement is determined as a result of the occurrence and arrangement of vowels (short, long, diphthongs) and consonants in syllables. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<strong>Guidelines<br \/>\n<\/strong>A\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0(i) <strong>For two syllable words, Simple Adjectives, Adverbs and Prepositions,<br \/>\n<\/strong>Stress the first syllable when the second syllable contains a short vowel and one or a final consonant. E.g. ENter, ENvy, Open, Equal.<br \/>\nHowever, a two syllable verb that ends in the diphthong (\u04d9u) is \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0stressed on the first syllable for example FOllow, BOrrow.<br \/>\n(ii) Stress the second syllable if it contains a long vowel or \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0diphthong and ends with more than one consonant. E.g.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0withDRAW, inVITE, conTACT, aLIVE.<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0iii)Three syllabled verbs<br \/>\nIf the last syllable contains a long vowel, diphthong or \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0more than our consonant stress it. If the last syllable \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0contains a short vowel or not more one consonant \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0stress the second syllable e.g. resuRRECT, enterTAIN, \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0enCOUNTER, deTERmine<br \/>\nB\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0(i)<strong>Nouns of two syllables<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t\tStress the first syllable if the second syllable contains a short vowel otherwise stress the second e.g. MOney, PROduct, LArynx, eSTATE, balLOON, deSIGN.<br \/>\n(ii)<strong>Nouns of three syllables<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t\tIf the last syllable contains a short vowel or the diphthong \/\u04d9u\/, it receives no stress. If the middle syllable contains a long vowel or diphthong or ends with more than one consonant, that middle syllable is stressed e.g. poTAto, diSASter, boNANza, syNOPsis, diSASter, apPOINTment.<br \/>\nIf the last syllable contains a short vowel and contains not more than one consonant, stress the first syllable e.g. QUANtity, EXercise, CUStody, SCHOlarship, EMperor, CInema.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>EVALUATION<\/strong><br \/>\n\tIdentify three guidelines for identifying a stressed syllable.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<strong>READING ASSIGNMENT<\/strong><br \/>\n\tRead Court Hearing page 10                                                                                  <strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/strong><br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Essay Writing: Story Writing<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Content: Definitions, Outline<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0A story is a description of events and people that a writer or speaker has invented in order to advocate or entertain. Examples include love story, detective story, adventure, science fiction story e.t.c. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0There are two types of story writing  that are tested by WAEC and NECO:<br \/>\n1. A story that is meant to illustrate a particular saying e.g. Write a story to illustrate the saying: As one makes one&#8217;s bed, so one must lie on it. WASSCE June 2006.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a02. A story which must be ended with a particular expression e.g. Tell a story the ends with the advice &#8220;Cut your coat according to your cloth&#8221; WASSCE June 1988<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Basic Features<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<p>1. A story must have a heading, which should be written in capital letters. The given expression in the question should not be used as heading.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a02. A story must have an introductory paragraph, which serves as the beginning of the story.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a03.  The body of the story should contain at least three well developed paragraphs which should show the complication (i.e. how events got to their highest height of intensity)<br \/>\n4. The concluding paragraph serves as the resolution or d\u00e9nouement. In this paragraph, one ends the story by resolving all complicated issues that were raised in the preceding paragraphs<br \/>\nSample question: Write a story which illustrates the saying:  The early bird catches the worm.<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Paragraph 1\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Introduction.
