Procedure

Activation (25-30 minutes) • To activate speaking fluency and sentence building skills in a playful way, without introducing or reviewing the day's grammar topic.

Prepare a list of words and cut them into slips. Each student will randomly take 2 words. For example: banana + clinic penguin + dentist socks + helicopter vaccine + sandwich carrot + nightmare Students must create a grammatically correct and imaginative sentence using both words. "Yesterday, I dreamed that a penguin was my dentist." "She brought a banana to the clinic as a gift for the vet."

Vocabulary (12-15 minutes) • Provide lexical support for evaluation, speed, and condition.

Vocabulary: faster option, slower option, cost range, price difference, comfort level, moderate case, severe case, recovery period, cost estimate, clinic option, category group, overall rating, mobility assessment -Present each word with a short definition. -Provide one clear example sentence. -After each word, nominate one student to produce a sentence orally. -Reformulate gently when needed. -Students record vocabulary in their notebooks.

Presentation (30-35 minutes) • Clarify form and function of adverbs.

Write paired sentences on the board: -He is a fast runner. -He runs fast / quickly. Elicit: -Which word describes a noun? -Which word describes an action? Explain: -Adverbs describe verbs -Many adverbs end in -ly -Highlight common mistakes: - He runs quick - He runs quickly Introduce adverbs of degree with examples: -very / quite / extremely Students copy key examples.

Controlled Practice (23-25 minutes) • Develop accuracy in adjective-adverb choice.

Students work individually. Exercise A: Choose adjective or adverb. Students compare answers in pairs. Whole-class feedback is conducted. Exercise B: Rewrite sentences using the correct adverb. Pair-check and final correction. Teacher highlights recurring errors.

Production (12-15 minutes) • Encourage meaningful spoken use of adverbs.

Students work in pairs. Each pair chooses a scenario: comparing clinic options evaluating recovery describing a process They prepare: 5-6 sentences using adverbs At least 2 adverbs of manner At least 1 adverb of degree Teacher monitors and notes errors.
