Understanding Emphasis in English

Here is a short lesson, with a worksheet, that is a quick way to show how emphasis can change the context of a sentence.

Despite all textbook readings coming off as robotic, a lot of lessons in my SHS textbooks want to show how fluid and fluctuating the English language can be. I came up with this short lesson and worksheet to show that the emphasis placed on a word can change the implied meaning of a sentence, and affect the flow of a story.

When creating the worksheet, it accidentally became a good reminder of the 5 W's 1 H.
