Adverbs of Frequency: structure and practice

Section role: Supports the 'Naming Patterns & Moving Frequencies' section by formalizing the concepts and providing instructions for the physical activity while the teacher leads the class. Slides: (1) Title — 'Adverbs of Frequency: How Often?'; (2) Frequency Scale — Visually presents the 100% to 0% scale, explicitly linking Always (100%), Usually (90%), Often (70%), Sometimes (50%), and Never (0%), building on the previous 'Frequency Code Challenge' activity; (3) The Sentence Secret! — Explains the grammar rule: 'Adverb + Action Verb' (e.g., 'I always brush my teeth.'); (4) Let's Listen! — Introduces the listening activity, providing instructions to fill in blanks with adverbs based on the audio previously played; (5) Physical Training: Get Ready! — Explains the 'four corners' physical activity, detailing how each corner (ALWAYS, SOMETIMES, NEVER, USUALLY) represents a frequency; (6) Physical Training: Instructions — Provides clear steps for the game: teacher calls a routine, students run to their personal frequency corner. Concrete examples: 'I eat broccoli!' or 'I go to the beach!'; (7) Call to Action — 'Time to Move! Which corner fits your routine?' — prompts students to prepare for the physical game, transitioning control back to the teacher. This material is part of a English foreign-language class for students in Brazil learning English. Regardless of the material's language, the key terms and examples being taught must be written in English, not in the students' native language.
