Adverb of frequency activity needed
|

Dear colleagues, I am teaching adverbs of frequency next week. I need a warm up activity that would take 10 mins and a post teaching activity that would take 10 to 15 mins. Thx in advance for all your brilliant ideas |

Hi! With my students, what I did was brainstorm some activities they do at home, like wash the dishes, walk the dog, make their beds, etc. Then, we draw a chart with the activities and the adverbs and they had to tick with what regularity they did those things.
Then, using the same chart, they would go around the classroom "interviewing" their classmates, to practice "do you...?". Then, to report to the rest of the class and to practice 3rd person singular, they would say things like "XXX always walks the dog", and so forth.
They had fun because they got to speak a lot, pretend they were journalists, and walk around the classroom.
I hope it �s useful.

I usually introduce it by dividing the class into two . I then draw a cline on the board 0% 25% 50%.....100% I make two sets of adv of freq words-different colours, cut and mix them up, do the basics first like never, often sometimes etc... and you could at the end of the lesson give some synonyms and let then look them up in a dictionary and place them next to the the words on the cline. Sorry I digressed on the previous point, then you model the first one, so make sure you remove it from both packs, hold it up and elicit where they think it goes e.g: rarely -stick it next to 25% and then let them sort the others out in their groups.It �s great fun.If your class is big, do more and use the walls with tack balls stuck up before the lesson begins. They love the competition and it wakes them up. I hope it �s clear Good Luck. |
