Lesson Plan | Technical Methodology | Object Predicative and Verb-Nominal Predicate

Objectives

Duration: (15 - 20 minutes)

The purpose of this stage of the lesson plan is to ensure that students understand the concepts of object predicative and verbo-nominal predicate, essential skills for both grammatical analysis and textual interpretation. By developing these competencies, students will be better prepared to apply this knowledge in practical contexts and in the job market, where clear and precise communication is vital.

Main Objectives

1. Understand the definition of object predicative and verbo-nominal predicate.

2. Differentiate object predicative and verbo-nominal predicate in sentences and texts.

3. Correctly identify the object predicative and verbo-nominal predicate in sentences.

Side Objectives

1. Develop syntactic analysis skills.
2. Promote critical reading and text interpretation skills.

Introduction

Duration: (15 - 20 minutes)

The purpose of this stage of the lesson plan is to ensure that students understand the concepts of object predicative and verbo-nominal predicate, essential skills for both grammatical analysis and textual interpretation. By developing these competencies, students will be better prepared to apply this knowledge in practical contexts and in the job market, where clear and precise communication is vital.

Contextualization

The object predicative and the verbo-nominal predicate are essential components of grammar that help to make our communication clearer and more precise. Imagine you are describing a soccer player's performance in a game. When we say 'The coach considered the player excellent', we are using an object predicative to assign a quality to the player. In 'The coach was moved and considered the game difficult', we have a verbo-nominal predicate that mixes action and state. Understanding these structures allows for richer and more detailed communication, essential in various professions, from journalists to advertisers.

Curiosities and Market Connection

Curiosity: The object predicative is often used in critiques and analyses, such as in movie reviews and performance evaluations, where it is necessary to attribute characteristics to a specific subject. In the job market, the ability to identify and correctly use these grammatical structures is crucial for copywriters, journalists, and marketing professionals, who need to communicate ideas clearly and persuasively. For example, when creating an advertising campaign, it is paramount to know how to describe products and services attractively and accurately.

Initial Activity

Provocative Question: Ask the students: 'Have you ever wondered how movie critics manage to describe characters and scenes so vividly? Let's discover how grammar helps with that!' Short Video: Show a short video (2-3 minutes) of a film review or literary critique that uses object predicatives and verbo-nominal predicates. Ask the students to identify examples of these structures in the video.

Development

Duration: (40 - 45 minutes)

The purpose of this stage of the lesson plan is to allow students to apply the theoretical concepts of object predicative and verbo-nominal predicate in practical activities, promoting the retention of knowledge through collaborative and individual exercises. This practical approach prepares students to effectively use these grammatical structures in various contexts, both academic and professional.

Covered Topics

1. Definition of object predicative.
2. Definition of verbo-nominal predicate.
3. Differences between object predicative and verbo-nominal predicate.
4. Practical examples in sentences and texts.

Reflections on the Theme

Guide the students to reflect on how the ability to identify and correctly use object predicatives and verbo-nominal predicates can enrich written and oral communication. Discuss how these grammatical structures are essential for conveying information clearly and accurately in various fields, such as journalism, advertising, and even in everyday tasks, like writing an email or a text message.

Mini Challenge

Identification and Creation Challenge

This practical challenge involves identifying and creating sentences that use object predicative and verbo-nominal predicate. Students will work in small groups to analyze and create sentences, promoting collaboration and the application of learned concepts.

Instructions

1. Divide the class into groups of 3 to 4 students.
2. Give each group a sheet of paper with examples of sentences that contain object predicative and verbo-nominal predicate.
3. Ask the groups to identify and underline the object predicative and the verbo-nominal predicate in each sentence.
4. After identification, each group must create 3 sentences of their own that use object predicative and 3 sentences that use verbo-nominal predicate.
5. Each group will present their sentences to the class, explaining their choice of grammatical structures.

Objective: The objective of this activity is to consolidate students' understanding of object predicative and verbo-nominal predicate through the practice of identification and creation of sentences, promoting the application of concepts in real contexts.

Duration: (25 - 30 minutes)

Evaluation Exercises

1. Ask the students to read a short text (it can be a news article or an excerpt from a book) and underline the object predicatives and verbo-nominal predicates they find.
2. Distribute a list of sentences, asking students to indicate what the object predicative and the verbo-nominal predicate are in each one.
3. Propose that students rewrite some sentences, transforming object predicatives into verbo-nominal predicates and vice-versa, to practice grammatical flexibility.

Conclusion

Duration: (10 - 15 minutes)

The purpose of this stage of the lesson plan is to consolidate students' learning, ensuring they understand the importance and practical applications of the concepts studied. Through recapitulation, discussion, and closure, students will have the opportunity to reflect on what they learned and how they can apply this knowledge in real situations, reinforcing the relevance of the content for their academic education and future professional life.

Discussion

Promote an open discussion with the students about what they learned, how they understood the difference between object predicative and verbo-nominal predicate, and how these structures are used in texts and daily communication. Encourage them to share their reflections on the mini challenge and fixation exercises, highlighting the difficulties encountered and the strategies they used to overcome them. Ask how they think these skills can be applied in real situations, such as in school essays, writing emails, or even in future professions.

Summary

Summarize the main content covered in the class, emphasizing the definitions and differences between object predicative and verbo-nominal predicate. Reinforce the importance of knowing how to identify and use these structures for clear and precise communication. Recap the practical examples used and the activities carried out by the students.

Closing

Conclude the lesson by explaining the importance of the topic for daily life, highlighting its practical applications in various areas. Emphasize how the ability to correctly use object predicative and verbo-nominal predicate can improve the quality of written and oral communication, being a valuable skill in both academic and job environments. Thank the students for their active participation and congratulate them on their effort and achievements in the class.
