(5 mnutes) Link: https://jamboard.google.com/d/1ZdykKJ9LqmsrAZeL1kd0Sfs1utPFusIxQwau_4wSlpk/viewer?f=3 TL CCQs: 1.- Do I drink coffee every morning? Answer is "Yes". 2.- Do I go to bed after 11 pm?

PRONUNCIATION - Write vocab words (Frequency Adverbs) on a whiteboard, model them exaggerating stress in them, and drill chorally and individually. - Cover the 2 pronunciations of often: /ˈɑːf.ən/ or /ˈɑːf.tən/ (more formal). - Elicit word stress. FORM - Show example sentence (I always drink coffee in the morning) on whiteboard and write out the form with blanks: - _____ + _____ + _____ + _____. List parts: subject, frequency adverb, verb, complement. Put complement in its place as an example. Elicit which parts come first, second, and third. Ask Ss if the 5 (five) frequency adverbs reviewed on TL exercises are at the beginning or end of the sentence.

Controlled Practice (6-8 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice on TL Frequency Adverbs

Have Ss complete a grammar task individually for 3 minutes. Link https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1YuAHwmnBxlWEH-VcSrKDpBpeDigAExaw8BDZmwDA5Xk/edit Check answers in pairs for 1 or 2 minutes. - OCFB. Practice for meaning will be covered in the freer practice section.

Freer Practice (10-12 minutes) • To provide students with freer practice of the target language

Ask Ss to choose 4 TL words (frequency adverbs) and use them to describe their day. Give examples. Give Ss 2-3 minutes to write/type individually. Ss share sentences in pairs for 3 minutes. OCFB. Monitor for errors. DEC. End: Share a reference sheet I wrote for homework, where they can see a longer list of ways to describe frequency, and encourage them to use it if they want to be more precise.
