AUTHOR:   Michael Burgoyne, Monte vista Elementary
          South Jordan, UT

OVERVIEW:  There are no manipulatives to reinforce the
language arts curriculum.  Creative dramatics is a
method of providing practice in the curriculum.

PURPOSE:  To provide a method of reinforcement for
practicing the use of adverbs.

OBJECTIVES:  The students will understand that an
adverb of manner describes the action of a verb.

ACTIVITIES AND PROCEDURES:
Compile a list of verbs.  This can be accomplished
through a brainstorming activity or can be introduced
by the teacher.  Compile a list of adverbs of manner
(usually words ending in 'ly').

A student is selected.  The student either selects or
is given a verb and an adverb.  The student then acts
out the verb in the manner dictated by the adverb. A
student may have the verb jump and the adverb quietly.
The student jumps quietly.  The class then tries to
guess the adverb.  The person that guesses the adverb
then goes in front of the class and performs his verb
and adverb.
