Introduction (10 - 15 minutes)

1. Review of previous contents:

   • The teacher should start the lesson by reviewing related contents that were previously learned and that will be fundamental for the understanding of the lesson's subject. This may include reviewing phonemes, the difference between vowels and consonants, and accentuation rules. (3 - 5 minutes)

2. Problem situations:

   • The teacher can then propose two problem situations to arouse students' interest and introduce the lesson's topic:
     • First situation: "Why do some words use the letter 'j' and others use the letter 'g' to represent the same sound?"
     • Second situation: "Can you think of some words that use the letter 'j' and others that use the letter 'g'? What do they have in common?" (2 - 3 minutes)

3. Contextualization:

   • The teacher should explain that the correct use of the letters J and G is essential for proper and understandable writing. Additionally, he can emphasize that knowledge about this subject is important for the comprehension and interpretation of texts, as well as for the production of written texts. (2 - 3 minutes)

4. Introduction to the topic:

   • The teacher can then introduce the lesson's topic, explaining that the focus will be on the phoneme J and G. He can share some curiosities, such as:
     • Curiosity 1: "Did you know that in Latin the letter 'j' did not exist? It was created in the Middle Ages and was used only as a graphic variation of the letter 'i'."
     • Curiosity 2: "And the 'g', do you know where it came from? Originally, in Latin, it had the sound of 'g' in 'gato'. But later, in some words, it started to have the sound of 'j' in 'jarro'." (3 - 4 minutes)

Development (20 - 25 minutes)

1. Theory - Phoneme J (8 - 10 minutes):

   • The teacher should start by explaining that, in Portuguese, the phoneme J can have two different sounds, the sound of "j" in "jarro" (voiced palatal fricative consonant) and the sound of "zh" in "jornal" (voiced palatal fricative consonant, also called 'Brazilian way').
   • He should provide examples of words that contain each of these sounds, and ask students to repeat these words so they can practice the correct pronunciation.
   • The teacher should then explain that the phoneme J is often used:
     • After the vowels A, O, U, and at the end of syllables (e.g., ja, jo, ju, j).
     • To represent the sound of "zh" (e.g., jornal, geleia, junho).
   • The teacher should emphasize that, although the letter G can also be used to represent the sound of "zh", this only happens before the vowels E and I (e.g., gelo, girafa, giz).

2. Practical activity - Phoneme J (7 - 10 minutes):

   • The teacher should then propose a practical activity to consolidate the knowledge about the phoneme J. For example, he can distribute a list of words and ask students to identify those that contain the phoneme J and pronounce them aloud.
   • After the activity, the teacher should correct together with the class, clarifying any doubts that may arise.

3. Theory - Phoneme G (5 - 7 minutes):

   • The teacher should now explain that, in Portuguese, the phoneme G can also have two different sounds, the sound of "g" in "gato" (voiced velar plosive consonant) and the sound of "zh" in "ginástica" (voiced palatal fricative consonant, also called 'Brazilian way').
   • He should provide examples of words that contain each of these sounds, and ask students to repeat these words so they can practice the correct pronunciation.
   • The teacher should then explain that the phoneme G is often used:
     • Before the vowels A, O, U, and at the end of syllables with the sound of "g" (e.g., ga, go, gu, g).
     • Before the vowels E, I, and at the end of syllables with the sound of "zh" (e.g., gema, ginástica, giz).
   • The teacher should emphasize that, although the letter J can also be used to represent the sound of "zh", this only happens after the vowels A, O, U and at the end of syllables (e.g., ja, jo, ju, j).

4. Practical activity - Phoneme G (5 - 7 minutes):

   • The teacher should propose a practical activity to consolidate the knowledge about the phoneme G. For example, he can distribute a list of words and ask students to identify those that contain the phoneme G and pronounce them aloud.
   • After the activity, the teacher should correct together with the class, clarifying any doubts that may arise.

5. Review and synthesis (2 - 3 minutes):

   • To conclude the Development stage, the teacher should review the main points covered, emphasizing the differences and similarities between the phoneme J and G and their respective usage rules.
   • He should also answer any questions students may have and clarify any misunderstandings.
   • Finally, the teacher should reinforce the importance of the topic for correct writing and reading, and encourage students to continue practicing at home.

Return (8 - 10 minutes)

1. Review and Reflection (3 - 4 minutes):

   • The teacher should start this stage by asking students to reflect on what they learned during the lesson. He can ask questions like:
     1. "What was the most important information you learned today about the use of the phoneme J and G?"
     2. "What were the different sounds that the phoneme J and G can represent?"
   • The teacher should give students a minute to think about these questions, and then ask some to share their answers with the class. This will allow the teacher to assess the level of understanding of the students and identify any areas that may need reinforcement.

2. Learning Verification (3 - 4 minutes):

   • The teacher should then propose a learning verification activity. He can ask students to individually write five words they remember studying that use the phoneme J and G.
   • After the conclusion of the activity, the teacher can ask some students to share their words with the class, correcting any errors and clarifying any doubts that may arise.
   • This activity is important to ensure that students remember what was learned and to give them the opportunity to correct any conceptual errors.

3. Connection with the Real World (2 - 3 minutes):

   • Finally, the teacher should help students make the connection between what they learned and the real world. He can do this, for example, by asking students to imagine how reading and writing would be without the rules of using the phoneme J and G.
   • The teacher can also ask students to search at home, in newspapers, magazines, or books, for words that use the phoneme J and G, and bring them to the next class. This will help reinforce learning and show students that what they learn in the classroom has practical and real applications.

4. Closure (1 minute):

   • To end the lesson, the teacher should thank the students for their participation and effort, reminding them of the importance of continuing to study the topic at home. He can also announce the theme of the next lesson, creating anticipation and interest among the students.

Conclusion (5 - 7 minutes)

1. Lesson Summary (2 - 3 minutes):

   • The teacher should start the Conclusion by summarizing the main points covered during the lesson. This includes explaining the two sounds of the phoneme J ("j" and "zh") and the two sounds of the phoneme G ("g" and "zh"), the rules of using the phoneme J and G, and the difference between how these phonemes are used in the Portuguese language and in other languages.
   • He should reinforce the importance of understanding these rules for correct writing and reading, and remind students to continue practicing at home.

2. Connection Between Theory and Practice (1 - 2 minutes):

   • The teacher should then explain how the lesson connected theory and practice. He can mention the practical activities carried out, which allowed students to apply theoretical knowledge in a concrete and meaningful way.
   • He can also highlight how the study of the phoneme J and G can help students improve their pronunciation and fluency in reading, as these phonemes have different sounds depending on the context in which they are used.

3. Supplementary Materials (1 minute):

   • The teacher should suggest some supplementary materials that students can use to deepen their understanding of the topic. This may include videos, interactive games, online exercises, textbooks, and grammar websites.
   • He can also indicate some words and phrases for students to practice at home, in order to reinforce what was learned. For example, he can ask students to write a short essay or story that uses a minimum number of words with the phoneme J and G.

4. Importance of the Subject (1 - 2 minutes):

   • To conclude, the teacher should reinforce the importance of the topic for students' daily lives. He can explain that knowledge about the use of the phoneme J and G is fundamental for the comprehension and interpretation of texts, as well as for the production of written texts.
   • He can give examples of situations where the correct use of the phoneme J and G is important, such as when writing a professional email, an essay for school, or even a post on a social network.
   • The teacher should encourage students to continue practicing and studying the topic, and emphasize that, over time, the correct use of the phoneme J and G will become automatic and natural for them.
