If you have to use the CD (I only have to with grade 3), definitely start off with a powerpoint or opening lesson on the vocabulary before you send them into snooze land with the CD. I try to make the lead-in PPs as fun and interesting as possible. Iantrich and I often make our own videos with the same dialogue. If you can find someone to do that with, the kids love seeing you being a fool. Apparently Ian makes fun of me with his kids, which somehow gets them excited to learn English.

My main coteacher has told me that they want me to cover each lesson in one class, so we do a lesson a week. Does this seem a bit tight to anyone else? I have nine 1st grade classes and eight 3rd grade classes a week, I only see each once. In theory this is pretty good as I'll only have to do two lesson plans a week for my regular classes (the rest of my hours are after school classes), but in practice I can see the lessons being too condensed if we need to cover one lesson a week!

hi,

Yes that seems very tight, I spend 2-3 weeks on 1 lesson, this gives me plenty of time to do extra games / activities to practice the language, I'd say you need at least 2 weeks, not just to cover everything but to give students a chance to practice and understand the language. Also it means your lessons will be really book-orientated. I would ask your co-t if you can split one lesson over 2 weeks so you can incorporate more activities.

Since I am a newbie, and it seems to be hard to get specific details how they (the co-teachers) want to have the material presented, are you sticking to the CD-rom or or coming up with new material based on the theme of the speaking section of the book?

Enders · « **Reply #384 on:** September 01, 2011, 02:25:56 pm »

Hi guys. Just started in new school today and just found out I will also be using these books. They is so much useful material on these books, before I start using any, I would like to thank all for the contributions. Hopefully I will post some of my own in the near future. Any tips or information for a new public school teacher welcome. Was teaching in a hagwon before this, so it is all new to me...

I just spent an hour searching for a specific lesson plan from Ji Hak Sa. I still can't seem to be able to find one. The search field claims to need at least 3 letters in a word and does not accept a number. I read many guidelines. Any tips for finding specific lessons? Please help.

I am also looking for some help on Grade 3 Lesson 7! I am struggling here! Are there any middle school JI HAK SA teachers who want to collaborate on lessons to lighten our workload? I was thinking maybe 2 or 3 people and rotate weekly preparing the lessons or something like that. If you are interested send me a message!

Of course this only applies if we are on the same lessons. I believe I am to do one lesson per week and am on lesson 7 next week.

Cheers!

For Grade 1, Lesson 8 (Useful But Noisy) speaking section, which is all about what to say when making a phone call, I humbly suggest everyone show this funny video at the beginning or end of class. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27aVPqpnL7Y

I'm not even British, btw!

Grade 3 - Lesson 6 - Day by Day

Stole a lot from the travel the world topic.

I'm not working from the book so have gone off topic but maybe someone will find it useful. Careful with the bomb game as I had to fix some hyperlinks after I deleted some slides from the one I stole it from

This is for Grade 1 Lesson 7 this is a minesweeper game that I found for Grade 2 Lesson 4 before summer. Thank you and credit to the username who escapes me. I basically just changed the questions on the left to fit what we're learning in Lesson 7.

Good game, I'll be using it for a review. What responses were you after for the "Is that all?" questions? Did you look for the negative, eg. No, Orange Juice, Please. Or did you just accept "Orange Juice please"??

Thank you dsob. I wasn't looking for a proper response really. All they answered was the "name of the food please. In one class the coteacher requested students to answer with the favorite food part, "My favorite food is..." but other than that we kept it simple to the food name followed by please. Again feel free to change, edit, and modify to your needs necessary.

My books are different mine have animals on them! 1 is an elephant, 2 is camel, 3 zebra. Anyone using these books?

To all the newbies who've just arrived:

If you have no idea what to do, don't look at the lesson dialogue's key English points, but rather, the general topic. I think either dsob or devilmorgan already posted similar advice, too. I find that my CTs don't care what else I have in my lesson as long as the students have repeated or done SOMETHING with the key dialogue. Use plenty of pictures and don't be afraid to give the poor kids some Korean translation for vocab in your ppt. Personally, I find roleplays to be great ways to get students to talk.

Also, this thread LOOKS really enormous, but it really isn't. Just start from page one and read skim through everything. If you're just looking for ppts to crib, just scroll until you see those blue attachment links. Most of us posting lessons have labelled or named them all appropriately. You'll also get a better idea of what we tend to talk about and how. Internet etiquette is not something to disregard.

Welcome, and good luck!

@snuno2: Check out the other pinned threads in the Middle School Forum and then look up the publisher/author of your book. This one is for Orange and Green book with a Caucasian child on the cover.

This is just the Listening Part for Grade 1 Lesson 8 Noisy but Useful. I included some clips with Kevin McAllister's Mother from Home Alone screams "Kevin!" also a clip with 2pm Again&Again saying "listen" during slide transitions. Videos include a superman cell phone as well as a light saber (noisy but useful

. I placed videos from the cd-rom for my entertainment making it look like Yujin is really into Kevin and that Ann wants her to get away from him.

I only started teaching from the book this semester. I'm looking to ~~steal~~ borrow some things you guys have done. Last semester I did review bomb games to help students on their exam but never really taught from the book. Any advice? I must teach the listening and speaking parts but making it entertaining. So far its just been from the CD-rom. What do you guys have?

Hey. This is my 1st lesson which I had to give today. It is for Grade 1 Lesson 8 (Useful but Noisy). This was my first proper class after doing just introduction classes last week. I would really appreciate it if anyone could give me feedback on the ppt, and tell me what would be better. My CT is leaving it up to me to teach how ever I want, but as this is my first public school teaching job, I am completely at a lost. This forum has been a great help though, with giving me some pointers in the right direction, so thank you all very much.

Also, thanks to blinden for the Trigger Happy link. It went down great in class.

This is my lesson for Grade 2 Lesson 7 (Teen Volunteers). Like I said for my previous post I would love and welcome any feedback and criticism that you guys would have, so I can make better lessons from now on.

I want to thank alikaz for the video which you had posted. I used it in my lesson today, which I hope was ok, and the class loved it. I think I might start to make my own as they seem to be a great way to keep the class interested.

Thanks

You will probably want to find someway to get the students interested in the lesson too as the animations are batshit awful. I make a stupid video each week for Grade 2 for the Speaking activities and have a small worksheet to go with it, which hooks them in for the lesson and they've grown to love them. I've attached the video for G2L7A, it isn't the best as I CBF at the end of the holiday, but just so you can see what I mean.

This is 2nd Grade Lesson 7 Part A. I just made it Simpson Themed with a gap fill activity at the end. The students really liked it because it was the Simpsons. I also taught them the two character names "Bart and Millhouse". The underlined words "book club, peter pan and four are hyperlinked to pictures of those things. Also by clicking on one of those pictures it will take you back to the previous slide.

Enjoy!

Enders, I had a look at the G1L8 ppt you put up. Unfortunately my rubbish office pc doesn't have sound, so I didn't get the full effect, but I liked it!Especially for a first ppt. What kind of production activities did you do with it, a role play of some kind?

kellyinkorea · « **Reply #399 on:** September 05, 2011, 05:33:18 pm »

These are the same books that my middle school uses and I was wondering if they are worthwhile. My students tell me it's too hard, but all students say that!
