Introduction (10 - 15 minutes)

1. Content Review (3 - 5 minutes):

   • The teacher starts the lesson with a brief review of the grammatical classes, emphasizing the concepts of noun, adjective, and verb, which are essential for understanding the topic 'adjective clauses'.

2. Problem-Solving Scenarios (5 - 7 minutes):

   • The teacher presents two problem-solving scenarios to pique students' interest:
     • First scenario: 'In a story, a boy with green eyes looked at the blue sky. Why do we use the eye color and sky color as adjectives and not as nouns?'
     • Second scenario: 'In a news report, we read the following sentence: 'The team, which lost the final, was devastated.' What is the word 'which' doing in this sentence?'

3. Contextualization (2 - 3 minutes):

   • The teacher contextualizes the importance of the subject, explaining that the correct identification and use of adjective clauses are fundamental for the production and interpretation of various texts, such as essays, articles, news, among others.

4. Topic Introduction (2 - 3 minutes):

   • The teacher introduces the topic 'adjective clauses' in an engaging way, connecting it to everyday situations and real examples.
     • First example: 'You must have read somewhere the expression 'the book I recommended'. What is the word 'I' doing in this sentence?'
     • Second example: 'Let's suppose you are reading a news article about a soccer team. How would you find the information that this team 'that lost the final' relates to the rest of the news?'

With this Introduction, students will be encouraged to think about the subject and realize the relevance of adjective clauses in everyday language and in different communication contexts.

Development (20 - 25 minutes)

1. Reading and Comprehension Activity (10 - 12 minutes)

   • The teacher hands out a short text containing several adjective clauses. It can be a poem, a news article, an excerpt from a book, or any other type of text.
   • In groups of up to 5, students will read the text, identify the adjective clauses, and then rewrite the sentence, replacing the adjective clause with a simple adjective.
   • After the activity, each group will share their answers with the class, explaining the reasoning used to identify the adjective clauses and to replace them with simple adjectives. The teacher will correct and comment on the answers, clarifying any doubts.

2. Text Creation Activity (10 - 12 minutes)

   • Still in groups, students will receive a list of nouns and will have to create sentences that describe them using adjective clauses. For example, if the list includes the noun 'forest', students can create the sentence 'The forest, which is a rich ecosystem in biodiversity, needs our protection'.
   • After creating the sentences, the groups will exchange their lists and have to identify the adjective clauses in the other groups' sentences.
   • At the end of the activity, each group will share the sentences they created with the class, explaining the use of adjective clauses. The teacher will correct and comment on the sentences, reinforcing the concepts learned.

3. Discussion Activity (5 - 10 minutes)

   • To conclude the Development stage, the teacher proposes a discussion in the classroom about the importance of adjective clauses in constructing meanings in texts.
   • The teacher can lead the discussion with questions such as: 'Why does the use of adjective clauses instead of simple adjectives enrich our communication?' and 'What would be the consequences of not using adjective clauses in our texts?'
   • The teacher should encourage all students to participate in the discussion, promoting an environment of respect and appreciation for different opinions.

Through these activities, students will have the opportunity to apply the concepts learned, develop reading and writing skills, as well as enhance their ability to argue and work in teams. Additionally, the discussion will promote reflection on the importance of adjective clauses in everyday life and in different communicative contexts.

Return (5 - 7 minutes)

1. Group Discussion (2 - 3 minutes)

   • The teacher invites each group to share the solutions or conclusions reached during the group activities. Each group will have a maximum of 2 minutes to present.
   • During the presentations, the teacher should encourage other students to ask questions or make comments about the solutions presented, promoting an environment of exchange and collective learning.
   • The teacher can also take this opportunity to highlight the most relevant points of each presentation, reinforcing the key concepts of the lesson.

2. Theory Connection (1 - 2 minutes)

   • After the presentations, the teacher connects the activities carried out with the theory presented at the beginning of the lesson.
   • For example, the teacher can review the definitions of adjective clauses and highlight how these structures were used in the practical activities.
   • At this point, the teacher can also address any doubts that may have arisen during the presentations, ensuring that all students have understood the concepts covered.

3. Individual Reflection (2 - 3 minutes)

   • To conclude the lesson, the teacher proposes a moment of individual reflection. Students will have one minute to think and mentally answer two questions:
     1. 'What was the most important concept learned today?'
     2. 'What questions have not been answered yet?'
   • After this minute of reflection, the teacher invites students to share their answers, promoting a brief debate on each one's perceptions and doubts.
   • The teacher should welcome the different answers and doubts, reinforcing the importance of continuous learning and the appreciation of different ways of thinking and learning.

With the Return, the teacher aims to consolidate the acquired knowledge, promote reflection on the learning process, and identify possible points of doubt to be addressed in future classes. Additionally, the Return allows students to realize the relevance of the learned content and how it applies in different contexts, contributing to the formation of critical and reflective citizens.

Conclusion (5 - 7 minutes)

1. Summary and Recapitulation (2 - 3 minutes)

   • The teacher starts the Conclusion by recalling the key points of the lesson, highlighting the concept of adjective clauses, their role in constructing the meaning of a sentence or text, and how to differentiate them from other types of clauses.
   • The teacher can quickly review the practical examples discussed during the lesson, reaffirming the importance of correctly identifying and using adjective clauses in everyday language.
   • The teacher should also reinforce the importance of active student participation, both during group activities and in classroom discussions, for the enrichment of the learning process.

2. Theory-Practice-Applications Connection (1 - 2 minutes)

   • Next, the teacher connects the theory presented, the practical activities carried out, and the real-world applications.
   • For instance, the teacher can recall how the problem-solving scenarios presented at the beginning of the lesson and the reading and text creation activities allowed students to apply the theoretical concepts of adjective clauses.
   • The teacher can also highlight how mastering adjective clauses is essential for the production and interpretation of various texts, contributing to the formation of critical and reflective citizens.

3. Extra Materials (1 - 2 minutes)

   • The teacher suggests extra materials for students who wish to deepen their knowledge of adjective clauses. These materials may include grammar books, video lessons, online exercises, among others.
