  2. Starter #1Take out your comp book. Turn to the first blank page. In the upper right hand corner, write the following: Fri., Jan. 10, 2014 QW #32: Far AwayWhat place is the farthest away from Lexington that you have traveled? If you aren’t sure, just pick one place that you think is the farthest you have traveled. Tell where you went, when you traveled there, and describe what that was like. Remember to write in complete sentences, avoiding fragments and run-ons. If you are not sure how to spell a certain word, just sound it out and circle it.

  3. Lesson Goal: Learn about adverbs modifying adjectives and other adverbs. Outcomes: Be able to . . . Define the term “adverb.” State the three questions an adverb answers. Indicate where adverbs usually appear when they modify an adjective or another adverb. List the most commonly used adverbs that modify an adjective or another adverb. Identify an adverb in any given sentence and indicate the adjective or adverb it modifies.

  4. Starter #2: What have we learned about adverbs? An adverb modifies (describes) a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. An adverb answers these three questions? How? When? Where? We also learned an adverb can appear in different places within sentences: Chan happily plays ball. This answers what question? Often the team travels on a bus. This answers what question? My sister ran downstairs. This answers what question? Many adverbs (but not all) end with what suffix?-ly Not all adverbs, however, will end in –ly. Commonly used adverbs that don’t end in –ly are: soon, after, now, later,hard, not, fast, often, today, always, very, here

  5. Starter #3: Today we will identify adverbs that modify adjective or other adverbs. Can you guess where those types of adverbs almost always appear? They almost always appear just before the adjective or adverb that they modify. In the sentences below, find the adverb that modifies an adjective or another adverb: Kali is an unusually good skater. Kali is an unusually good skater. What question does it answer? Marta almost always sings. Marta almost always sings. What question does it answer?

  6. Starter #4: Here is a list of the most common adverbs that modify adjectives or other adverbs: very too almost quite so extremely really partly rather nearly barely unusually just somewhat totally hardly Let’s see how well you can identify any adverbs that modify adjectives or other adverbs. . . . 
