【设计意图】解释形容词变为副词的规律,并通过简单的练习,暗示并总结出规律:副词通常修饰动词、形容词和其他副词。通过书上配套的练习,总结出三个非常重要的短语,a monthly test,my daily life,have a lovely time,很明显让学生得出结论形容词修饰名词。
Step 3 Practice
1. Play a game: Find your friend
2. Fill in the blanks
Complete the passage with the correct words.

List some words ending with the suffix -ous, the suffix -ern and the suffix -ness and encourage students to learn more suffixes and prefixes after class.
2. Challenge
Enjoy a story, try to circle(圈出) the words with suffix -ly and tell what they are modifying.
【设计意图】对后缀的用法适当的拓展延伸,以课本为基础,但不局限于课本。引导学生归纳:副词除可以修饰动词、形容词和其他副词,还可以修饰整个句子;形容词修饰名词。
