Emergency disaster plan

[kmark]

I was trying to incorporate 'should have' from Ch 7 of the Thomas Orr books. It kinda worked, but the students got a kick out of the lesson anyway and participated a lot more than usual. I got the idea from someone else's disater lesson (I looked, but couldn't find to give credit [sorry if it's you]), but easily the best lesson I've created from scratch.

Also, I started the class with the trailer for Haeundae

Thanks! Going to try it with my after school! :)

I should probably add~

I didn't add it to the ppt, but did on the blackboard after I saw the sentences the students made; make sure they pay attention to sentence tense. I used the example 'The tsunami is here' for present tense vs 'The tsunami will come' for future so 'I need water, because I will be thirsty (after the tsunami)' not 'I am thirsty (now)'

And the fun part: if the pairs didn't finish by presentation time, I told them they died in the tsunami and sent them to the back of the classroom until they finished. I ended up with almost a 90% completion rate on the worksheet, which is totally unheard of for my (non-graded) classes.

Time frame I used
15 min for ppt
10-15 min (I said 7 in the ppt, but I gave them extra time) for The Plan
5 min to fill in the dialogue
10-15 for the pairs to present
