(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. Explain to Ss that this specific Adverbs of Frequency come at the beginning (always, usually, often, sometimes,never). How Frequent we do somehing.

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.
