Procedure (45 minutes)
The Ss will do a matching activity 1 from the coursebook, in which they will match 5 different sentences about adverbs of frequency (always, often, sometimes, not often and never) with the correct sentences. The correct answers will be checked as a WC.
The T will write 3 model sentences on the board: 1) They are (always) late. 2) I don't (not often) watch the news. 3) I (never) watch comedy programmes. The adverbs T will elicit from the Ss. T introduces the grammatical rules: subject + adverb + verb (usual order) subject + verb + adverb (with be)
The T will divide the Ss in to 2 or 3 groups (depends on the amount of Ss present) and give them adverbs on paperslips. In a group the Ss will discuss and decide where the adverbs go on a "scale". The Ss will go to WB and put them in a correct order in their opinion and the correct order will be checked as a WC.
The Ss will do a gap-fill individually. The sentences are: 1) I (always) watch the news. 2) I (never) watch sports. 3) I (often) watch documentaries. 4) I (sometimes) watch horror films. 5) I don't (often) watch TV. T will give the answers to the Ss as a handout.
The Ss will each write 3 questions related to television and film habits by using TL (for example: Do you often watch documentaries?)
The Ss will go around the classroom and ask each other questions, which they prepared in the previous stage.
The T will do error correction on the WB with incorrect sentences that the Ss have made during the lesson. If they haven't made any the T has ready-made (assumed errors) that the WC will try to correct together. Ready-made sentences: 1) I don't never watch the news. 2) I don't not often watch the documentaries. 3) I sometimes go to school.
