To start the lesson, ask students to describe images. Then, they will match statements containing adverbs with these same images. This is an excellent opportunity to explain the function of adverbs to your students. Remember to tell students the following information: adverbs provide readers and listeners with information about how actions are done.
You will then guide your students in converting adjectives into adverbs using certain rules. This will allow your students to fill in the blanks of sentences missing adverbs successfully.
Throughout the lesson, make sure you encourage students and ask questions. It is necessary to elicit information from students to track progress.
