For example, a picture of a blue car with the sentence, "The *blue* car drives *fast*." 3. **Interactive Demonstration**: Write a sentence on the board (e.g., "The cat sat on the mat"). Ask students to suggest adjectives and adverbs to make the sentence more interesting (e.g., "The *fluffy* cat sat *quietly* on the *small* mat"). ### Guided Practice (10 minutes) 1. **Sorting Activity**: Prepare sentence strips with phrases containing either adjectives or adverbs. - Example: Sentences like "The red balloon" and "She sings well." - Have students come up to the board to place each sentence in the correct category: adjectives or adverbs. 2. **Worksheet Exercise**: Distribute worksheets where students have to underline the adjectives in one section and the adverbs in another section. ### Independent Practice (10 minutes) 1. **Descriptive Drawing**: Give each student a piece of drawing paper and crayons. - Ask them to draw a picture of anything they like (e.g., their favorite animal, a place, etc.). - Once they finish drawing, each student writes 1-2 sentences about their picture using adjectives and adverbs. ### Review and Assessment (5 minutes) 1. **Sharing**: Invite a few students to share their drawings and sentences with the class, highlighting their use of adjectives and adverbs. 2. **Quick Quiz**: Hand out note cards with sentences for students to identify and circle the adjectives and underline the adverbs. ### Closure (5 minutes) 1. **Recap**: Summarize the key points of the lesson: the role of adjectives and adverbs. 2. **Exit Ticket**: Ask students to write a sentence on a small strip of paper using one adjective and one adverb before they leave. ### Additional Notes: - Keep the atmosphere fun and engaging by using colorful visual aids and by encouraging participation. - Make sure to offer plenty of praise and positive reinforcement to build confidence. ### Homework Assignment: Ask students to find a short story or a page in a book at home and identify at least five adjectives and five adverbs.
