S/N	STEPS	TEACHER’S ACTIVITY	LEARNERS ACTIVITY
1	INTRODUCTION	The teacher defines adjuncts as additional information that modifies or complements the main part of a sentence. She gives an example: "She ran quickly (manner)."	Learners listen, observe, and ask questions about adjuncts.
2	EXPLICIT INSTRUCTION / TEACHER MODELLING	The teacher explains the types of adjuncts with examples: - Time: "She arrived yesterday." - Place: "He stayed at the hotel." - Manner: "She sings beautifully." - Comparison: "He runs faster than I do." - Result: "He studied hard, so he passed the test."	Learners take notes and ask for clarification on any adjuncts.
3	EVALUATION	The teacher provides sentences like: "The meeting will take place at the office." "She left the party early." and asks learners to identify the adjuncts.	Learners identify the adjuncts and specify their types (time, place, etc.).
4	CLASS-WORK	The teacher writes on the board: "He arrived in the morning," "The test was easy to him," and asks learners to underline the adjuncts and label their type.	Learners underline the adjuncts and label the types in each sentence.
5	ASSIGNMENT	The teacher assigns a list of sentences for homework: - "She went to the park yesterday." - "I saw him at the bus stop." - "He walked slowly across the street."	Learners complete the assignment by identifying and labeling the adjuncts in each sentence.
6	CONCLUSION	The teacher reviews the lesson, clarifies any misunderstandings, and provides feedback on the classwork.	Learners review their responses and ask questions for further clarification.
