Practicing intonation
Modeling intonation: Give students something long and
$exible. like a pipe cleaner, string, or ribbon, and ask them to
shape it to match the intonation of sentences. (A pipe cleaner
is a piece of wire covered with fuzzy threads. When you bend
it, it keeps its shape. Pipe cleaners are sometimes called
chenille stems.) The shape doesn’t have to be exact; the
important thing is to have the correct intonation at the end of
the sentence or thought group: Rising, falling, or staying
fairly $at. This is similar to drawing intonation contours
above written sentences, but in three dimensions.

intonation) should be flipped vertically after cutting.Falling intonation
