Introduction (10 - 12 minutes)

1. Review of Previous Content: The teacher will start the lesson by reminding students about the concept of subject and verb, as well as briefly reviewing the rules of nominal agreement, which was covered in previous classes. This review is crucial for students to understand and correctly apply verbal agreement. (3 - 4 minutes)

2. Problem Situations:

   • Situation 1: The teacher will present a sentence with a singular verb and ask students to identify the subject of the sentence. The subject will be compound and in the plural. The teacher will ask: "Does the verb agree with the subject in number and person. What is the correct form of the verb in this sentence: singular or plural?" (2 - 3 minutes)

   • Situation 2: The teacher will present a sentence with a plural verb and a singular subject. The teacher will ask: "Does the verb agree with the subject in number and person. What is the correct form of the verb in this sentence: singular or plural?" (2 - 3 minutes)

   • Situation 3: The teacher will present a sentence with a plural verb and a singular subject, but the subject will be composed of words that indicate quantity, such as "a bunch of" or "a series of". The teacher will ask: "Does the verb agree with the subject in number and person. What is the correct form of the verb in this sentence: singular or plural?" (2 - 3 minutes)

3. Contextualization: The teacher will explain the importance of verbal agreement in writing and speech, emphasizing that not following this rule can cause confusion and make communication ineffective. In addition, the teacher may present examples of real situations where verbal agreement is important, such as in academic and professional texts, and even in everyday conversations. (2 - 3 minutes)

4. Attention Gain: To spark students' interest, the teacher can present curiosities about verbal agreement. For example:

   • Curiosity 1: "Did you know that in some languages, such as French and Spanish, verbal agreement is much more complex than in Portuguese? In French, for example, the verb can agree not only with the subject, but also with the direct object!"

   • Curiosity 2: "How about this curiosity: verbal agreement, like many other rules of the Portuguese language, was established over time, through usage and social convention. That is, it is a rule that exists to facilitate communication, not to complicate our lives!" (2 - 3 minutes)

Development (20 - 25 minutes)

1. Activity 1 - Verbal Agreement Game (10 - 12 minutes): The teacher will divide the class into groups of 4 to 5 students. Each group will receive a set of cards, each containing a sentence with a verbal agreement error. The goal of the game is to correct the sentences, identifying and correctly applying the rule of verbal agreement. The cards should be shuffled and placed in a pile. Each group, in turn, must draw a card, read the sentence aloud to the rest of the group, and then discuss and decide what is the correct form of verbal agreement. If the group is correct, they earn a point. If they are wrong, the card is returned to the pile. The game continues until all cards are solved or until time runs out. The group with the most points at the end of the game is the winner. (5 - 6 minutes)

2. Activity 2 - Verbal Agreement Theater (10 - 12 minutes): Still in groups, students will create short scenes or dialogues that involve situations requiring the use of verbal agreement rules. Each group must choose a theme for their scene, which can be, for example, a scene from a movie, a dialogue between famous characters, a daily life situation, among others. Students should then write the script of the scene, ensuring that there are at least three situations that require the use of verbal agreement rules. After writing the script, students should rehearse and present their scenes to the class. After each presentation, the teacher and the other students will discuss the scene, identifying and correcting possible verbal agreement errors. At the end of the presentations, the teacher will reinforce the concepts learned and clarify any remaining doubts. (10 - 12 minutes)

3. Activity 3 - Group Discussion (5 - 6 minutes): To conclude the Development stage, the teacher will promote a group discussion. Students will be encouraged to share their perceptions and learnings from the activities carried out. The teacher will guide the discussion by asking questions that stimulate students to reflect on the importance of verbal agreement, the difficulties encountered, the strategies used to solve the exercises and scenes, among others. This discussion will help consolidate the acquired knowledge and identify possible gaps that need to be addressed in future classes. (5 - 6 minutes)

Return (8 - 10 minutes)

1. Group Discussion (3 - 4 minutes): The teacher will promote a group discussion, where each team will have the opportunity to share the solutions they found for the activities carried out. Each group will have a maximum of 3 minutes to present their conclusions. During the presentations, the teacher will encourage students to explain the reasoning used to arrive at the answers, thus promoting a reflection on the learning process.

2. Connection with Theory (2 - 3 minutes): After all presentations, the teacher will make a brief synthesis of the ideas presented by the groups, highlighting how they connect with the theory studied. For example, the teacher may point out how the rules of verbal agreement were applied in the scenes created by the students, and how these rules were used to correct errors in the game sentences. This moment serves to consolidate learning, showing students that they were able to apply theory in practice.

3. Individual Reflection (2 - 3 minutes): After the group discussion, the teacher will propose that students reflect individually on what they learned in the lesson. The teacher will ask the following questions:

   • What was the most important concept you learned today?
   • What questions have not been answered yet?
   • How can you apply what you learned today in your daily life or in other subjects?

   Students will have one minute to think about each question. These reflections will help students consolidate what they have learned and identify possible doubts or difficulties that still need to be overcome.

4. Feedback and Closure (1 - 2 minutes): The teacher will end the lesson by giving general feedback on the students' performance. The teacher will highlight the positive points, such as active participation, involvement in activities, and understanding of concepts. Additionally, the teacher will point out possible areas for improvement, such as the need for greater attention to detail in solving exercises. The teacher will also reinforce the importance of verbal agreement, emphasizing how this rule is fundamental for effective communication in Portuguese. Finally, the teacher will remind students about the homework, which will consist of solving a set of verbal agreement exercises. (1 - 2 minutes)

Conclusion (5 - 7 minutes)

1. Recapitulation of Contents (2 - 3 minutes): The teacher will summarize the main points covered in the lesson, reinforcing the general rule of verbal agreement, as well as the special cases, such as inversions, compound subjects, and clauses with coordinated nuclei. The teacher can use a board or slides to visualize examples and facilitate students' understanding. This recapitulation will allow students to review and consolidate the concepts learned.

2. Connection between Theory and Practice (1 - 2 minutes): The teacher will explain how today's lesson managed to connect the theory of verbal agreement with practice. It will be highlighted how group activities, such as the Verbal Agreement Game and the Verbal Agreement Theater, allowed students to apply verbal agreement rules in a practical and fun way. The teacher can also mention how the group discussion helped clarify possible doubts and deepen students' understanding of the topic.

3. Extra Materials (1 - 2 minutes): The teacher will suggest extra materials for students who wish to further deepen their knowledge of verbal agreement. These materials may include textbooks, online grammar websites, educational videos, among others. The teacher can provide a list of these materials, along with a brief description of each and how they can be useful for studying verbal agreement.

4. Importance of the Subject (1 minute): Finally, the teacher will emphasize the importance of verbal agreement in everyday life. It will explain that by mastering verbal agreement, students will be able to express themselves more clearly and effectively, both in writing and speech. Additionally, the teacher may mention that verbal agreement is one of the most basic and fundamental rules of Portuguese grammar, and that by mastering it, students will be better prepared to learn and apply other grammatical rules.

With that, the lesson will be concluded, and students will be ready to continue exploring the fascinating world of the Portuguese language.
