Introduction (10–15 minutes)

1. Review of Previous Content:

   • The teacher should begin the lesson by briefly reviewing the concept of nouns since understanding this is fundamental to understanding noun determiners. (3–5 minutes)
   • Next, the teacher can ask students to identify nouns in sentences or short texts to reinforce the concept. (2–3 minutes)

2. Problem Situations:

   • The teacher can present two problem situations to spark the students' interest:
     1. "How can using 'the' instead of 'a' change the meaning of a sentence?"
     2. "Why do we use 'some' and not 'many' in certain contexts?" (2–3 minutes)
   • Then, the teacher can challenge students to discuss possible answers to these situations in pairs or small groups. (3–4 minutes)

3. Contextualization:

   • The teacher can then explain how crucial the use of noun determiners is for effective communication and for understanding meaning in the text. (2–3 minutes)
   • To illustrate the importance of the topic, the teacher can provide examples of how the choice of determiners can change the meaning of a sentence or a text. For instance, "The boy saw a dog" can be interpreted differently from "The boy saw the dog." (2–3 minutes)

4. Introduction of the Topic:

   • Finally, the teacher can introduce the topic of the lesson, clarifying that noun determiners are words that accompany the noun and help specify its meaning in the text. (1 minute)
   • The teacher can also mention that, throughout the lesson, students will learn to identify and use noun determiners correctly, as well as analyze how they contribute to the formation of meaning in a text. (1 minute)

Development (20–25 minutes)

1. Theory - Explanation of the Concept of Noun Determiners (10–12 minutes)

   • The teacher should begin by defining noun determiners, explaining that they are words that directly connect to a noun to determine or delimit its meaning.
   • Next, they should clarify that noun determiners can be classified into articles, numerals, adjective pronouns, and demonstrative pronouns.
   • For each type of determiner, the teacher should provide examples and explain its function. For example, the articles ('the', 'a', 'the', 'the') should be clarified to indicate the degree of determination of the noun (definite or indefinite).
   • After the theoretical explanation, the teacher should present a summary table with the different types of determiners and their examples so that students can quickly consult them during the lesson.

2. Practice - Identification of Noun Determiners (5–7 minutes)

   • At this stage, the teacher should provide students with sentences or short texts and ask them to identify the noun determiners present.
   • The teacher should circulate around the room, assisting students who have difficulty and clarifying doubts.
   • After identifying the determiners, the teacher should ask students to justify the choice of the determiner, that is, why they chose a definite article ('the', 'the', 'the', 'the') instead of an indefinite one ('a', 'a', 'a', 'a').

3. Theory - Determiners and Meaning in the Text (5–6 minutes)

   • The teacher should explain how noun determiners contribute to the formation of meaning in the text. For example, how choosing a definite or indefinite article can change the meaning of a sentence.
   • The teacher should provide examples of sentences where the choice of the determiner changes the meaning of the sentence and ask the students to reflect on how determiners can be used intentionally to construct different meanings.

4. Practice - Meaning Analysis with Noun Determiners (5–7 minutes)

   • At this stage, the teacher should present students with short texts and ask them to analyze how noun determiners contribute to the meaning of the text.
   • Students should discuss in pairs or small groups and present their analyses to the class.
   • The teacher should guide the discussion and ask questions to stimulate students' critical thinking.
   • The teacher should reinforce the importance of using determiners properly for understanding and expressing ideas in the text.

5. Extra Activity (Optional) - Text Creation Using Determiners (5–7 minutes)

   • If time permits, the teacher can propose an extra activity where students must create a short text, such as a paragraph of a story, correctly using the noun determiners.
   • This activity allows students to apply the acquired knowledge practically and creatively.
   • The teacher should encourage students to review their texts, paying attention to the use of determiners and how they contribute to the meaning of the text.

Return (10–15 minutes)

1. Group Discussion (5–7 minutes)

   • The teacher should gather all students in a group discussion so they can share their analyses and conclusions about how noun determiners contribute to the meaning of the text.
   • The teacher can ask some groups to share their analyses with the class, encouraging all students to participate.
   • During the discussion, the teacher should ask questions to stimulate students' critical thinking and ensure everyone understands the topic.
   • The teacher should also provide feedback, praising valuable contributions and correcting possible misconceptions.

2. Connection to Theory (2–3 minutes)

   • After the discussion, the teacher should briefly review the theory explained at the beginning of the lesson, highlighting how it connects to the practice carried out by the students.
   • The teacher can reinforce the importance of noun determiners for the formation of meaning in the text and how their proper choice can change the meaning of a sentence or a text.
   • This stage serves to consolidate learning and for students to realize the relevance of what they are learning.

3. Individual Reflection (3–5 minutes)

   • To conclude the lesson, the teacher should propose that students make an individual reflection on what they have learned.
   • The teacher can ask questions such as:
     1. "What was the most important concept you learned today?"
     2. "What questions have not yet been answered?"
   • Students should write down their answers, which can be shared in the next lesson or used for planning future lessons.

4. Teacher Feedback (1–2 minutes)

   • The teacher should also provide feedback to the students, praising their effort and participation, and providing suggestions for improvement.
   • It is important that the feedback be constructive and encouraging, so that students feel motivated to continue learning.
