Grammar: adverbs and mini-sagas
16 Abril 2024, 09:30 • Rui Vitorino Azevedo
We did a
grammar review based on the position of adverbs (initial-, mid-, or end-position,
along with variable-position adverbs). After practicing, we looked at common
adverbial collocations (adverbs + adjective or past participle/ adverb + verb).
Students then red some mini-sagas (50-word stories) and were asked to write one
themselves using at least two adverbs and one adverbial collocation.

Reading and
discussion of the short story “Everything is Far from Here”. We centered
discussion on illegal immigration, helplessness, refugee status, whether or not
the story felt “realistic”, and the relevance of the story’s title.

We finished off the student presentations
on the following topics: demonic possession, the controversial topic of colonial
artworks. There was a brief Q&A
after each presentation so that we could debate the topics a bit further.
