Introduction

Duration: 10 to 15 minutes

The purpose of this stage is to provide a solid foundation on the concept of verbs, essential for constructing coherent sentences and understanding the structure of the Portuguese language. Developing these practical skills is fundamental for students to apply them effectively in both their written productions and practical situations in the job market, where clear and precise communication is valued.

Contextualization

Verbs are essential elements in any language, as they are responsible for giving meaning and movement to sentences. Imagine a story without verbs: actions would not happen, emotions would not be expressed, and descriptions would be incomplete. Therefore, understanding the concept of verb is fundamental for effective communication, whether in writing or speaking.

Curiosities and Market Connection

Curiosity: Did you know that the word 'verb' comes from the Latin 'verbum', meaning 'word'? In the job market, the ability to use verbs correctly is crucial. Marketing professionals, for example, need to write persuasive texts that motivate actions. Journalists must report events clearly, and programmers use verbs when writing commands in programming languages.

Initial Activity

Ask students to watch a short video (2 to 3 minutes) explaining in a dynamic and visual way the importance of verbs in sentences and how they affect daily communication. After the video, pose the following provocative question: 'What would our daily lives be like if we did not use verbs in our conversations?'

Development

Duration: 55 to 60 minutes

The purpose of this stage is to deepen students' knowledge about verbs through practical activities that stimulate the application of concepts in a dynamic and collaborative way. Additionally, it aims to consolidate learning through fixation exercises, preparing them to use verbs appropriately in various communicative contexts.

Covered Topics

1. Definition of verb.
2. Classification of verbs: action, linking, and natural phenomena.
3. Identifying the verb as the core of the predicate.
4. Practical examples of verb application in sentences.

Reflections on the Theme

Guide students to reflect on the importance of verbs in daily communication and in the job market. Ask: 'How can the appropriate choice of verbs influence the clarity and effectiveness of a message, whether written or spoken?' This reflection should help students understand that the correct use of verbs goes beyond grammar and directly impacts how they communicate in different contexts.

Mini Challenge

Verb in Action Challenge

Students will be divided into small groups, and each group will receive a list of verbs. They must create a short scene (theater or narrative) using the provided verbs, highlighting them in their presentation. The scene should clearly illustrate the function of each verb in context.

Instructions

1. Divide the class into groups of 3 to 4 students.
2. Provide a list of varied verbs for each group (e.g., run, be, rain).
3. Instruct the groups to create a short scene that will be presented to the class. The scene can be a brief play or a staged narrative.
4. Each group must highlight and explain the function of each verb used in the scene (action, linking, natural phenomenon).
5. Give time for the groups to organize and rehearse their presentations.

Objective: Promote the practical application of the learned concepts about verbs, encouraging creativity and collaboration among students.

Duration: 30 to 35 minutes

Evaluation Exercises

1. Ask students to write a sentence for each type of verb (action, linking, and natural phenomenon) and underline the verb used.
2. Propose that students identify the verbs in a short text, classifying them according to their function.
3. Distribute a list of sentences and request that students rewrite the sentences by substituting the verbs with appropriate synonyms while maintaining the original meaning.

Conclusion

Duration: 15 to 20 minutes

The purpose of this stage is to consolidate the knowledge acquired by students, providing a moment of reflection and discussion on the importance of verbs in communication. This closing allows students to review the concepts learned, share their experiences, and understand the practical relevance of the content, strengthening the connection between theory and its application in daily life and in the job market.

Summary

 Summary of Key Points: Recap the main content presented during the lesson, reinforcing the definition of verb and its classifications (action, linking, and natural phenomena). Highlight the importance of verbs as the core of the predicate in sentences and the practical application of the learned concepts.

Closing

 Closing of the Lesson: Explain how the lesson connected theory and practice through maker activities and collaborative challenges.
