Behavioural Objectives:

By the end of this lesson, students should be able to:

2. Use adverbs of manner and frequency correctly in sentences.
3. Differentiate between adverbs of manner and frequency.

Keywords:

Adverbs, Manner, Frequency, How, Action, Often, Daily, Well, Quickly.

Set Induction:

Begin by asking the class:

• “How do you describe how someone runs?”
• “How often do you see your friends?”
  This will lead into the topic by introducing the idea of adverbs as words that describe how actions are done and how often they happen.

Entry Behaviour:

Students should have prior knowledge of verbs, adjectives, and basic sentence structure. The teacher will briefly revise the definitions of verbs and adjectives before introducing adverbs.

Learning Resources and Materials:

1. Whiteboard and markers
2. Flashcards with sentences
3. Worksheets with sentences for practice
4. Projector (optional for visual aids)

Building Background/Connection to Prior Knowledge:

The teacher will connect the topic to what the students already know about verbs and adjectives. They are familiar with sentences describing actions (verbs) and qualities (adjectives), so adverbs are introduced as words that describe both actions and qualities further.

Embedded Core Skills:

• Critical Thinking: Analyzing sentences to identify adverbs.
• Communication: Using adverbs to form complete sentences.
• Collaboration: Working in pairs or groups to complete exercises.
