1. Warm-up: play the CD and ask the children to sing the song from the previous lesson.
2. Vocabulary: Say “Open your books.” Present the new vocabulary with the pictures in the Book. Use extra repetition to practise the correct word stress ( e .g. carefully, badly, slowly).
3. Pre- reading : ask the children to look at the pictures and answer the questions: What has Aunt Kate got? What can she see? How many feathers can you see? Whose feathers are on the road?
While-Reading Activity: children,listen to the text and then read it.
Post-Reading Activities: ask some questions to check understanding and to engage the children . Ask: Does Aunt Lucy drive badly? Whose feathers are on the road? Are Claudia and Magnus good people?
Read the story again and write TRUE or FALSE.
4. Grammar: ask volunteers to read out the sentences in the grammar box. Focus the children`s attention on how most adverbs are made by adding –ly or –ily to the adjective. Write some other known adjectives on the board ( e.g. slow, quick, kind, lazy ). Ask children to come to the board and write the corresponding adverb ( slowly, quickly, kindly, lazily).
Ask the children to look again at the story and to circle all the adverbs.
5. Writing: 1.match and write. Lok at the pictures. Ask the children to match the people to the activities below by writing the correct adverb in each sentence.( e.g. He`s singing well).
2.Ask children questions : Do you sing well? Do you run quickly? Then ask the children to write sentences about themselves, their friends and family, using the verbs in the word bank and the adverbs from the lesson ( e.g. I draw well. My mum talks quickly).
6. Optional activity: play a miming game with the class. Demonstrate first yourself. Choose a verb, e.g. walk, and mime doing the action in a particular way , using one of the adverbs learnt in the lesson , e.g. quickly. Elicit the sentence You`re walking quickly from the class. You could make this into a team game. One person from each team comes to the front and mimes an action in a particular way. The other team describe what he/she is doing.
7. Homework ; learn new words, do the crossword, complete the sentences , using adverbs of manner
