Aids and Materials used in the Lesson WB and marker Mystery recipe (pumpkin pie) 4 articles about traditional/popular foods During reading worksheet Adverbs of frequency gap fill Example article about pumpkin pie Assumed Knowledge of the Students Students will be able to read with comprehension the 4 segments on cultural food items. Students will be familiar with the concept of adverbs of frequency as well as already know many of them. Anticipated Difficulties of Students This is a 2 to 1, and one student may be sick, thus leaving it to be a 1 to 1. Students may have trouble with the idea that some of the adverbs of frequency have 2 meanings (ex: biannually can be twice a year or every two years) Proposed Solutions During scheduled pair work, I will take the place of the missing student and work with the student in class I can give examples of the word in use in both ways Points to Remember Make my praise more enthusiastic Keep up energy in the classroom Keep an eye on the time
