B. Presentation
Read the following article about
epidemic of the electronic age brought
about by new forms of media.
Nintendo Thumb is Just One of the
Many Modern Electronic Illnesses by Can
Carey

C. Discussion

answering these questions.

Students reading the article.

The Deformation of a finger brought by

What is Nintendo Thumb?

years of sitting in front of a computer games

console.
He is a professional of educational theory.
Who is Prof. Werner Glogauer? What does He complains that health problems arising
he complain in his most recent book New from misuse of new media forms has
Media are making us sick?
become the epidemic of the electronic
age.
How are the motor skills of children
damaged by frequent television watching?

Television children find it difficult to learn

how to ride a bicycle, for example and some
can no longer maintain their balance of
work afterwards.

How does this affect the social

development of children?

Life exclusively in a virtual world leads to

social isolation- friends play a much more
important role than this lifestyle can offer.

Who is entirely responsible in protecting

the children from the risks caused by new
forms of media?

The adults, because they do not know what

effect this is all having on children.

I have here sets of sentences taken from

the article:
His sisters motor activity is disturbed and
her speech has never developed properly
because he watches the television the
whole time.
It still remains very unclear to adults, what
effect this is all having on children.
Life, so exclusively lived in a virtual
world leads to social isolation.
What does properly modify?
How about very, what does it modify?
Lastly, how about so, what does it modify?

It modifies has never developed, which is a

verb.
It modifies unclear, which is an adjective.
It modifies exclusively which is an adverb.

Since it modifies verb, adjective and

adverb, it is called Adverbs.
Adverbs also answer the questions how,
where, when, how often, to what extent,
how much, in what manner.
They are also end in ly.
For example:
Contented- contentedly
Laborious- laboriously
Patient-patiently
In this sentence, what do you think is the
adverb?

Gradually
Pleasantly
I have learned that Adverbs modifies verb,
adjectives and adverbs.

Letters are introduced gradually.

The two friends talk pleasantly.
D. Generalization
Now, tell me what did you learn for today?
Very good, anything else you want to
share to us?
Very good class! And for that, let us clap
our hands.
