PROCEDURE:

STAGE	INSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITY
SET INDUCTION (5 minutes)	1.   Teacher greets students and prepares students to begin the class. Teacher checks that each student is in their place and gets a working computer. 2.   While doing all the above, the teacher is munching on a piece of Oreo. 3.   Teacher explains that the year of 2012 is the 100th birthday celebration of the Oreo cookie. Teacher shows the official Oreo website to the students (http://www.nabiscoworld.com/oreo/). 4.   Teacher then asks students if they have any special moments with Oreos. Teacher can include her own experience of first eating Oreos with her friends. -       When I was in Standard 4, I went on a school trip to Cameron Highlands. While on the bus, my friends and I shared snacks to eat. One of my friends brought with her a pack of Oreos and I had never seen or eaten any before. So she taught us the Oreo “Twist, Lick, and Dunk” routine – which we thought was very disgusting, especially when minus the milk. We all thought that she was joking and did not believe her. But a few days after the trip, I saw an Oreo commercial on the television and saw that it was true. So in the end we all apologized to our friend for not believing in her.
DEVELOPMENT (60 minutes)	Activity 1 (20 minutes) 5.   Teacher tells students that in conjunction with their 100th Birthday Celebration, Nabisco is doing a campaign called “Oreo Moments – Celebrate the Kid Inside”. Teacher shows the campaign advertisement (http://www.nabiscoworld.com/oreo/birthday/) 6.   After the video ends, teacher asks students what do they feel about the video – teacher writes the adjectives and adverbs from students’ responses on the whiteboard. 7.   Teacher asks to the students whether: -       they know that the words that the teacher has listed are adjectives and adverbs; -       they know the difference between adjectives and adverbs? 8.   Teacher explains to students the differences between adjectives and adverbs by using the following picture, taken from the Oreo Moments Gallery on the website: Picture 1: "100 just like Oreo" Teacher uses the root word “happy” in the shown two sentences below to demonstrate: Sentence 1: Grandma is happy with her Oreo cake.         (Adjective) -       Teacher explains that happy is an adjective because it describes the noun Grandma. Sentence 2: Grandma is looking happily at her Oreo cake. (Adverb) -       Teacher explains that happily is an adverb because it describes the verb looking. Teacher summarizes to students that an adjective describes a noun while an adverb describes a verb (with some exceptions, teacher can explain that in another lesson). 9.   Teacher asks students to open the Oreo website (http://www.nabiscoworld.com/oreo/) and see if they can find any adjectives or adverbs. Teacher goes around the language lab to help and facilitate the students in finding any adjectives or adverbs. Activity 2 (20 minutes) 10.   After about 5 minutes, teacher asks students to open the Oreo Moments Gallery page (http://www.nabiscoworld.com/oreo/moments/). 11.   Teacher explains that in this page, they can see pictures and videos taken by all sorts of people to capture their “Oreo Moment”. 12.   Teacher then asks students to look through the gallery and pick 3 pictures. For each picture, students need to describe it by writing two sentences – one using an adjective; the other using an adverb. A total of 6 sentences is needed, and should be written in their grammar exercise book.    Activity 3 (20 minutes) 13.   Teacher then asks students to close their books. 14.   Teacher now shows students the AmbassadOreo Contest page and asks if they would like to enter. However, the contest is open to Americans over the age of 18 only. So, the students cannot enter. 15.   Teacher asks if they would like to try and create their own rules for their own Oreo Moment Competition. 16.   Teacher asks students to open a Word document on their desktops titled “Oreo Moment Photo Competion”. 17.   Teacher explains that the students now have to imagine that they are the organisers of their own Oreo Moment Photo Competition and they have to create the rules of the competition. 18.   Students need to fill in the “Oreo Moment Photo Competition” document by writing four rules of the competition. Two rules of the completion must include an adjective, and the remaining two must include an adverb. For example: -       The winning picture must have a smiling baby; or -       The winning picture must have a boy carefully eating an Oreo. *students must highlight adjectives with the colour blue, and adverbs with the colour green. 19.   Teacher gives students about ten minutes to complete the “Oreo Moments Photo Competition” rules. Teacher reminds students to also fill in their names. 20.   When everybody has finished, teacher asks students to save the file as “Oreo Moments Photo Competition <students name>” and email that file to the classmate sitting next to them. 21.   Teacher explains that when the students go back home and receive the email containing their friends Oreo Moments Photo Competition rules, they will need to go through the Oreo Moments Gallery and find a winning photo based on the rules given by their classmate. They will need to present the winning picture in class next week.
CONCLUSION (5 minutes)	22.    Teacher explains to students that adjectives and adverbs are very important in cherishing special moments in writing. It is much more interesting when we use adjectives and adverbs. 23.    Teacher reminds students to find a winning Oreo Moment picture based on their friends rules.
FOLLOW-UP ACTIVITY	1.  Students need to open the email that their classmate sent them and download the “Oreo Moments Photo Competition” document. 2.  Students open the word document and read the rules that their classmate has written. 3.  They need to go through the Oreo Moments Gallery (http://www.nabiscoworld.com/oreo/moments/) and find a winning photo that best follows the rules outlined in the word document. 4.  They will have to present the winning picture in class next week.
