cking order.
Off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin will also take encouragement from a strong showing in away from the subcontinent (7 at 30.71 in two Tests). If not for some rather poor fielding from the Indians, he would have had a five-wicket haul at Centurion.
INDIA SHED FLAT TRACK BULLY TAG
The most glaring issue with India's claim to being the No.1 Test team in the world over the past year and a half has been the fact their success has all come in spinning conditions. Kohli's side had the chance to silence their critics this month in South Africa, and while they failed to win the series they went some way to repairing their reputation by winning the final match on a pitch so grassy even the hosts were complaining.
On a pitch consistently mired by inconsistent bounce and lateral movement, India's batsmen found a way to nudge and nurdle their way to posting a target of 241 before their bowlers got the job done on day four when the surface had finally started to flatten out. Encouragingly for the Indians the core of their middle order - Cheteshwar Pujara, Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane - all made significant contributions to the victory.
Nevertheless, India's batsmen have some way to go to dispel the idea that they are uncomfortable on bouncy pitches, with only one of the touring batsmen finishing the series in the top five scorers.
That man was of course Kohli, who surely did enough to put to bed the myth that he cannot score runs in seaming, swinging conditions. The Indian captain was the highest run-scorer in the series (286 at 47.66) and the only centurion.
WHAT SHOULD AUSTRALIA EXPECT FROM THE PITCHES?
South Africa have made no secret of the fact they want their curators to roll out hard and bouncy pitches for Test cricket, but things went a step too far at the Wanderers where the match was almost abandoned because of its variable bounce.
It would be a surprise if the ICC did not come down hard on the South African board for that surface but the Australians can still expect pitches tinged green when they cross the Indian Ocean in February.
That's a prospect that will have Mitchell Starc and company licking their lips, but Australia's batsmen will have to be at their best against South Africa's all-star attack. a. Analyze the author's/text's purpose and intended audience
Teacher will guide students as they brainstorm a list of reasons for which an author would write an informational text such as to help with directions, describe a procedure, or to explain an idea. Students may be given the name or topic of an informational text. Present students with several examples of informational texts for which a purpose has already been identified. During classroom discussion have students provide text-based support for each article's purpose. Next have students work with a partner. Rotate among the partners a series of informational passages for which they will determine a purpose and locate text-based support for the purpose. Assign each group an article to be presented to the entire class. During the presentation students must:
Provide students with an informational article. After reading, students will use an organizer developed by the teacher on which details from the article have been listed. Students will review the entire list of details and draw a conclusion about the purpose/s of the article. After determining the purpose, students will suggest an intended audience/s for whom this article will have importance. Students may continue to practice by using additional informational passages in which they will determine details that indicate purpose.
Under teacher direction students will brainstorm reasons for which they would read a newspaper. In a newspaper find several different types of informational text such as an editorial, an advertisement, and a news story. Read each selection. Choose one text, and identify several different people who would read this text and why they would choose to read it. Next, determine a way the information in this text could be used in the real world. Assume the persona of another reader and explain to the entire class your interest in the text and how you would use this in your job or daily life.
Students will read an informational text. After reading the text, students will move into small groups. Each group will be given an envelope containing sentence strips. On the sentence strips the teacher will have written direct statements from text that state the author's purpose and details that support the author's purpose. The students will read and then divide the strips into two categories: statements of purpose and statements of support to determine the purpose of a text. After a teacher check, students will use Pass a Problem strategy to complete all the teacher-prepared envelopes. Teacher Note: Pass a Problem-When students have completed their first activity they are directed by the teacher to pass their problem/envelope to another group.Conference: To What End?
