Objectives (5 minutes)

1. Identify and differentiate augmentative and diminutive: Students should be able to recognize and understand the difference between the augmentative and diminutive forms of words. They should be able to apply this knowledge in reading and writing words.

2. Express ideas using augmentatives and diminutives: Students should learn to use these forms effectively to express ideas and feelings. They should be able to change a base word to the augmentative or diminutive form according to the context.

3. Review and apply content in a playful manner: To ensure comprehension and retention of the content, the lesson should include practical and fun activities. Students should be able to review and apply what they have learned in a playful and engaging way.

Introduction (10 - 15 minutes)

1. Recalling previous content: The teacher starts the lesson by reminding students about what adjectives are and how they are used to describe people, places, objects, or feelings. This can be done through simple examples, such as describing the appearance of a favorite cartoon character or the sensation of eating a sweet.

2. Problem-solving situations: The teacher presents two situations involving the use of augmentatives and diminutives. The first situation could be: 'If you were to describe a very tall mountain, how could you use a word that means 'very tall'?' The second situation could be: 'If you were describing a very small kitten, how could you use a word that means 'very small'?'

3. Contextualization: The teacher explains that, just like adjectives, augmentatives and diminutives are used to describe and express feelings about something. The teacher can give examples of how these words are used in everyday life, such as when someone says 'I'm famished!' to express that they are very hungry, or when someone calls a baby 'cute' to express that they are very beautiful.

4. Capturing students' attention: To make the subject more interesting, the teacher can share some curiosities. For example, the teacher can say that in some languages, like Spanish, there are more than one form of augmentative and diminutive for each word, depending on how it sounds. Another curiosity could be that in some fables, characters are named according to their characteristics, like 'Little Wolf' and 'Big Lion'.

By the end of this stage, students should be familiar with the concept of augmentative and diminutive, and ready to explore the topic in more depth.

Development (15 - 20 minutes)

1. Augmentative and Diminutive Game: The teacher can start this stage with a group activity. Each group receives a list of words and cards with the endings 'ão', 'zão', 'inho', and 'zinho'. Students are challenged to form as many augmentative and diminutive words as possible using the cards. The group that manages to form the highest number of words correctly wins the game. This activity not only helps students understand the formation of these words, but also promotes teamwork and healthy competition.

2. Augmentative and Diminutive Treasure Hunt: In this activity, the teacher hides various objects around the classroom, each with a label containing a word that needs to be changed to the augmentative or diminutive form. In pairs, students are challenged to find the objects and correct the word on the label, using the rule of augmentative or diminutive. The teacher can provide some examples and tips before starting the activity. This activity helps students practice applying the rule of augmentative and diminutive in a fun and interactive way.

3. Who Am I?: The teacher writes a series of words on the board, some in the augmentative and others in the diminutive form. One student at a time stands up, chooses a word from the board, and tries to use it in a sentence without mentioning the word, while the other students try to guess the correct word. This game helps students practice the auditory recognition of words in the augmentative and diminutive form and apply their knowledge in a practical way.

The games and activities should be chosen according to the age and skill level of the students, as well as adapted according to the needs and resources available in each classroom. They should be conducted in a playful and fun way, so that students feel motivated and engaged while learning about augmentatives and diminutives.

Return (10 - 15 minutes)

1. Group Discussion: After completing the activities, it is important for the teacher to promote a group discussion. Each team should share the words they were able to form correctly in the Augmentative and Diminutive Game, explaining the process they used to arrive at the answer. In the Treasure Hunt, pairs should show the corrected words and explain how they applied the rule of augmentative and diminutive. In the Who Am I? game, students should share the sentences they used to describe the words, and classmates should discuss how they arrived at the correct answer. The teacher should guide the discussion, correcting errors and reinforcing the concepts learned.

2. Connection with Theory: After the discussion, the teacher should revisit the theoretical concepts discussed at the beginning of the lesson and make the connection with the activities carried out. For example, the teacher can ask how students used the rule of augmentative and diminutive in the activities, how they decided which ending to use for each word, and if they found any words that did not fit the discussed rules. This step helps to consolidate the acquired knowledge and correct possible misunderstandings.

3. Final Reflection: To conclude the lesson, the teacher should propose that students reflect for a minute on what they have learned. The teacher can ask two simple questions, such as: 'What was the most fun part of today's lesson and why?' and 'How can you use what you learned today to describe things or express feelings in your daily life?' Students can share their answers with the class, if they feel comfortable. This reflection step helps students internalize what they have learned and realize the relevance of the content to their daily lives.

The return is a crucial stage of the lesson plan, as it allows the teacher to assess students' understanding of the topic and adjust teaching, if necessary. Additionally, it helps students consolidate what they have learned and realize the importance of the content to their lives.

Conclusion (5 - 10 minutes)

1. Summary and Recap: The teacher should conclude the lesson by summarizing the main points covered. They should remind students about what augmentatives and diminutives are, how they are formed, and how they can be used to describe and express feelings about something. The teacher can highlight some examples that were discussed during the lesson and ask quick questions to check students' understanding.

2. Connection between Theory and Practice: The teacher should emphasize how the lesson connected the theory about augmentatives and diminutives with practice. They can explain that through the playful activities, students were able to apply what they learned in a concrete and meaningful way. The teacher can also highlight how group activities and games helped reinforce cooperation among students and the importance of teamwork.

3. Suggestion of Supplementary Materials: To deepen students' understanding of the subject, the teacher can suggest some supplementary materials. This may include children's books that creatively use augmentatives and diminutives, educational websites with interactive games on the topic, and short videos that explain in a simple and visual way how augmentatives and diminutives work. The teacher should encourage students to explore these materials at home with the help of their parents or guardians.

4. Importance of the Subject for Daily Life: Finally, the teacher should briefly explain the importance of the subject for students' daily lives. They can emphasize that by understanding and using augmentatives and diminutives correctly, students will be enriching their vocabulary and their ability to express ideas more precisely and variably. The teacher can give examples of how these words are used in different contexts, from describing people and objects to expressing feelings and emotions.

5. Closure: The teacher concludes the lesson by thanking everyone for their participation and effort, and reiterating the importance of the topic for continuous learning. They should encourage students to continue exploring and learning about augmentatives and diminutives, both at school and at home.

The conclusion is a fundamental stage of the lesson plan, as it allows the teacher to consolidate students' learning, provide guidance for future studies, and reinforce the relevance of the content presented. Additionally, it helps to end the lesson on a positive and motivating note.
