Objectives (5 - 7 minutes)
-
Understand the concept and application of the Predicative of the Object and the Verb-Nominal Predicate: Students should be able to differentiate and identify the main characteristics of these two elements in the sentence structure. They should be able to recognize the function of the predicative of the object and the verb-nominal predicate in constructing the meaning of the sentence.
-
Recognize and apply the Predicative of the Object and the Verb-Nominal Predicate in sentences: Students should be able to correctly identify the predicative of the object and the verb-nominal predicate in given sentences. They should be able to apply the acquired knowledge to create their own sentences with these elements.
-
Develop skills in text analysis and interpretation: Students should be able to analyze a text, identify the occurrences of the predicative of the object and the verb-nominal predicate, and interpret the meaning that these elements bring to the text.
Secondary Objectives
-
Improve writing and textual comprehension: By learning to use the predicative of the object and the verb-nominal predicate correctly, students will also be enhancing their writing and textual comprehension skills.
-
Stimulate active participation and group work: Through practical activities and group discussions, students will be encouraged to actively participate in the class, exchanging knowledge and experiences.
Introduction (10 - 15 minutes)
-
Review of previous contents (3 - 5 minutes): The teacher should start the lesson by quickly reviewing the sentence structure, subject and predicate, and the different types of verbal complements. This reinforcement is important so that students can understand the difference between the predicative of the object and the verb-nominal predicate.
-
Problem situations (3 - 5 minutes): Next, the teacher will present two problem situations involving the use of the predicative of the object and the verb-nominal predicate. For example:
- "In a sentence like 'I consider her my best friend,' what does 'my best friend' represent and how does it differ from a sentence like 'I consider her happy'?"
- "When reading the sentence 'Maria left crying,' how can we interpret the verb 'left' and the adjective 'crying' in relation to Maria? And if the sentence were 'Maria left sad'?"
-
Contextualization (2 - 3 minutes): The teacher should highlight the importance of studying the predicative of the object and the verb-nominal predicate in writing and reading more complex texts, such as narratives and opinion articles. Additionally, they can mention that the correct use of these elements is also relevant in formal communication contexts, such as essays for entrance exams and competitions.
-
Introduction to the topic (2 - 3 minutes): To spark students' interest, the teacher can present curiosities about the use of the predicative of the object and the verb-nominal predicate. For example:
- "Did you know that in some languages, like English, the predicative of the object is mandatory? That is, it is necessary to use a predicative of the object after the direct object in certain situations, while in Portuguese this is optional."
- "Another curiosity: the verb-nominal predicate is widely used in poetry, as it allows creating more complex images and sensations. Therefore, it is a very important resource for those who enjoy writing or appreciating poems." The teacher should then formally introduce the topic of the lesson: the study of the predicative of the object and the verb-nominal predicate.
Development (20 - 25 minutes)
-
Activity 'Identifying in Practice' (10 - 12 minutes): The teacher should divide the class into groups of 4 to 5 students. Each group will receive a set of cards, each containing a sentence. Some sentences will have the predicative of the object, others the verb-nominal predicate, and others will have neither. The students' goal will be to correctly identify if the sentence contains the predicative of the object, the verb-nominal predicate, or neither. They should justify their answers, explaining the function of the identified element in the sentence.
- Activity steps:
- The teacher hands out the cards and explains the rules of the activity.
- The students, in their groups, analyze the sentences and come to a consensus on the presence or absence of the predicative of the object and the verb-nominal predicate.
- Each group presents their answers and justifications to the class.
- The teacher makes necessary corrections, clarifies doubts, and reinforces the concepts learned.
- Activity steps:
-
Activity 'Creating with Creativity' (10 - 12 minutes): Still in their groups, students will be challenged to create sentences that contain the predicative of the object and the verb-nominal predicate. The teacher should encourage students to be creative in their creations, promoting the use of metaphors and comparisons to enrich the sentences.
- Activity steps:
- The teacher explains the objective of the activity, which is to apply the knowledge about the predicative of the object and the verb-nominal predicate in a creative way.
- The students, in their groups, start creating their sentences. They can use words, images, and drawings to aid in the creation.
- Each group presents their sentences to the class, explaining the use of the predicative of the object and the verb-nominal predicate in each of them.
- The teacher evaluates the sentences and provides feedback to the students, reinforcing the positive aspects and pointing out possible improvements.
- Activity steps:
-
Discussion and clarification of doubts (5 - 7 minutes): After the activities, the teacher should promote a class discussion, encouraging students to share their perceptions and difficulties. This is an opportunity to deepen students' understanding of the topic and clarify any doubts that may have arisen during the activities. The teacher should be attentive to ensure that all students are understanding the content and feel comfortable asking questions and expressing their doubts.
Return (8 - 10 minutes)
-
Group Discussion (3 - 4 minutes): The teacher should gather all students and promote a group discussion about the solutions or conclusions found by each group during the activities. Each group will have up to 2 minutes to share their answers or created sentences. The teacher should encourage students to explain their choices, highlighting the correct application of the predicative of the object and the verb-nominal predicate. This step is important for students to learn from each other and see different approaches to solving the activities.
-
Answers Verification (2 - 3 minutes): After the group discussion, the teacher should verify the correct answers for each activity. They should reinforce the key concepts, highlighting the function of the predicative of the object and the verb-nominal predicate in constructing the meaning of the sentence. The teacher should correct any misconceptions or misunderstandings that may have arisen during the activities, ensuring that all students have a clear understanding of the content.
-
Connection with Theory (2 - 3 minutes): The teacher should then make the connection between the practical activities and the theory presented at the beginning of the lesson. They should explain how the practical application of the predicative of the object and the verb-nominal predicate in the sentences created by the students reinforces the theoretical understanding of these elements. The teacher can use examples from the activities to illustrate these connections, making the learning more tangible and meaningful for the students.
-
Final Reflection (1 minute): To conclude the lesson, the teacher should propose that students reflect for a minute on the following questions:
- "What was the most important concept learned today?"
- "What questions have not been answered yet?"
At the end of the minute of reflection, the teacher can ask some students to share their answers with the class. This step is important for the teacher to assess the effectiveness of the lesson and identify any gaps in students' understanding that may need reinforcement in future classes.
Conclusion (5 - 7 minutes)
-
Summary of Contents (2 - 3 minutes): The teacher should recap the main points covered during the lesson, reinforcing the concept and application of the predicative of the object and the verb-nominal predicate. They can use slides, a whiteboard, or a large paper to write down the important topics and clarify any remaining doubts. The teacher should emphasize the function of these elements in constructing the meaning of the sentence and their relevance for understanding and producing texts.
-
Connection between Theory, Practice, and Applications (1 - 2 minutes): The teacher should explain how the lesson connected the theory, practice, and applications of the predicative of the object and the verb-nominal predicate. They can highlight how the practical activities allowed students to apply the theoretical concepts in a meaningful way and how these elements are used in different communication contexts. This will help students understand the relevance of what they have learned and see the practical importance of these concepts.
-
Extra Materials (1 - 2 minutes): The teacher can suggest extra materials for students who wish to deepen their knowledge on the topic. These materials may include books, articles, educational websites, videos, and online exercises. The teacher can share the titles and links of these resources on the school's distance learning platform, if available, or provide them in printed format. They should encourage students to explore these materials on their own, emphasizing that learning is not limited to class time.
-
Relevance of the Subject (1 minute): Finally, the teacher should summarize the importance of the predicative of the object and the verb-nominal predicate for everyday life. They can mention examples of how these elements are used in different contexts, such as writing essays, reading books, and understanding news and articles. The teacher should emphasize that knowledge of these elements not only helps improve writing and reading skills, but also contributes to more effective and precise communication.
