Notes for teachers

Start by writing 'She is a careful driver' and 'She drives carefully' on the board and ask students what each word describes (a noun or a verb). Typical mistakes are 'good' instead of 'well', 'hardly' instead of 'hard', and using adverbs after 'be' (The weather is terribly). As a follow-up, ask students to write five sentences about how their classmates or family members do things, e.g. 'My sister dances beautifully.'
