Description
Three Presentations differentiated for 3 ability groups.
Presentation slides;
1. What is a verb? (Recap and enforce)
2. Moving images;
What is Superboy doing? - Flying
What is the man doing? – Eating, watching or looking.
What’s happening on the football pitch?
How was that goal scored? Running/Ran, kicked and diving (goalkeeper)
What is the crowd doing? Jumping, shouting and cheering
3. What is an adverb? – go back to previous slides and ask ‘Are these people just flying? Eating? Running?’ Could any other words make these sentences more exciting? Quickly! Intensively! Frantically! Hurriedly!
4. Next 2 slides present beginnings of sentences using verbs giving me the chance to ask ‘What adverbs could make this more exciting?’
5. The second slide of examples for the HA group focuses on adverbs that don’t end in ‘ly’. MA group will be presented with one word which doesn’t end in ‘ly’. Depending on how they perform I may introduce them to more of these words.
6. Show video of Usain Bolt obtaining world record.
7. What words can be used to describe how Usain Bolt ran? Have a short discussion to see what words children can come up with. Then display 12 words (all adverbs) and ask would it be okay to use each of them. Some are wrong deliberately!
8. The ‘Dab’ slide (Usain Bolt dabbing). This is aimed at lifting the moods of the children. I will state that it is called the Dab so it is a…? noun. He is dabbing, so that is a…? Verb. And he’s dabbing confidently …which is an…? Adverb!
Practise dabbing confidently, timidly, proudly and lazily.
Main Activity
Slide 9 contains a video of Elvis Presley arriving onstage and singing. Before playing the video inform the children that they are now news reporters, news reporters who happen to be very lucky because they get to go back in time to watch Elvis in concert, they even get to see him back stage! This video is very good for this lesson because there is a lot going on in it to start a discussion with the children asking them what verbs they can identify in the video i.e. singing, dancing, walking, swaying etc. Don't forget the crowd!
Slide 10 for HA contains a table with potential adverbs. Tell the children that they will have to write a news report so they can report to the people of 2017 on what they witnessed. Their report should contain 8-10 verbs all linked with an adverb.
Slide 10 for MA contains a table with verbs in one column and the rest of the table contains the potential adverbs. Get children to write a news report on what they have witnessed for the people of 2017 using the verbs provided, linking them to the adverbs provided.
Slide 10 for LA contains a table with 7 verbs on the left column and 6 adverbs on the right column. I will inform the group that the verbs on the left are all things Elvis done in the video, but now we want to find out how Elvis done them. Give them paper cut outs of the verbs and adverbs and ask the children what can they match.
