Hey! So Grade 1 Chapter 3

I just went out different types of western sports and also extreme sports. For the sports they probably know, I asked them about the type of things you need to play the game i.e basketball, net and how many players were on each team. I also asked them if they played any of the sports.

For the extreme sports I showed some videos which they really liked! They all want to base jump!

Then at the end we played charades with the sports!

Does anyone have any idea of what they're doing for grade 2 lesson 3???

This stuff seems like it will be WAY over my kids' heads.

How do I add to the lesson list?

Hre's what I did for the 3rd lesson Caterpillar in a cave...

Slightly different, I just focused on helping others. I also tend to elicit responses from the students and write them on the board.

I hope your students like this. I assume that you have been teaching from speaking section of the book, and will be familiar with the grammar points from those sections. Therefore, the worksheet is supposed to be self-explanatory. Good Luck!

I think this is really great! There are definitely some ideas here that I can use. Thank you!

Here is my Grade 3 Lesson 3 Stuff. I am responsible for the Listening and Speaking parts. I am including listening ppt, and speaking ppt. which includes real-life speaking. I hope someone finds it useful.

Listening: All the questions, A compound words game, a guess what animal game it is, and a board race game

Speaking: All the dialogue from Communication Spotlight (with some alterations) and I converted the Real-life speaking into a TOP 5 game which has been working OK.

Sorry forgot to add the board race...though it's nothing special.

Ahh, sorry, was worried that would happen. i should attach a disclaimer with that lesson or maybe pull it!
It seemed to go okay in my classes, which I'd probably say are intermediate-level.
For lower levels - I'd skip the horoscope thing entirely. I'd do the pass-the-bomb game with the birthdays, though, as that was a big hit!

Okay, with a lot of revisions, I'm decently happy with the lesson now. I'm gunna put up my edits for anyone else with low-level students, but echo karenology's warning: this is a tough class to pull off. The words are too complicated, so I worked with my co to transliterate them. Good luck!

Year1Ch2
The Zodiac Signs - Low/multi level

One the board I wrote these words: Born 태어난 / Zodiac Signs 별자리 / Personality 성격
I started the class by talking about birthdays (and got them to do a speaking activity) and then brought up blood types/the zodiac. I think "Zodiac" isn't really the right word for horoscope stuff, but anyway...

No matter. I had them find their birthday on the handout, then we went through each sign's personality type. I ended with Pass the Pencil using birthday-type conversation and "what's your sign?"

this is brilliant. thanks so much for posting it. are you planning to have the students complete the worksheet from memory, or have them consult their books?

best.

I'm having a horrid time trying to teach the 2nd Grade this week. I don't know what about this chapter they don't like. I looked at 2 lessons posted here, seems like your classes are pretty advanced. My classes don't like any hardwork, anything that requires them to think.

I just wanted to let y'all know that you are pretty lucky if you can get through these lessons. I'm jealous !

Which lesson are you on? I'm still on lesson 2 and have been using this: http://waygook.org/index.php/topic,5494.0.html

Divided the class into teams, and gave them white boards to answer during the "quiz" portions - it's gone over really well. That .rar file includes a version for higher and for lower levels. Surely your kids must respond during food lessons, right? Usually even my bad kids are interested because they're always hungry!

Ok, I taught with G1 and G2 books last year. This is my first year with G3. The "advice" phrases for L3 G3 are the SAME as the "advice" they learned in G2 L8!!

For any of the others facing this, how are you dealing with it? I don't want to just do the same things they did last year...

So far I have a game where I tape a paper with a problem to their back and they have to walk around getting advice from people until they guess what it is. Still, it seems kind of boring.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Hello! I am going to do a couple of review lessons before mid term exams on lessons 1, 2 and 3 for Grade 2 and 3. Does anyone have any ideas for good games or activities that will work for reviews?

My lesson focus for grade 2, 1st lesson is 'Whats your plan for this weekend/ next year' etc.
2nd lesson is 'Are you ready to order?' etc (may do pass the pencil for this one!)
3rd is ' Would you do me a favour?' 'Maybe what is it?'...

Grade 3
Lesson 1 is 'I am interested in ___' 'Are you interested in____?' ...
2nd is 'You must be'
3rd is ' If I were you I'd' 'I think you should'

Any help much appreciated! Thanks!

I posted previously how hard it was to teach my 2nd Grade.

So i rearranged some things. My 2nd Grade level 1 did okay with their lesson. It was a group activity. Maybe I should post it.

Then my 2nd Grade level 3, still thought the lesson I custom made for them, so basic, even my 1st Grade can do it, still thought it was hard. Any who, I ask them for suggestions; What they would like to do?
Pokemon came up, dragon ball.. But the funniest when I asked for a song
"sex, money, honey" ?!!! I was like where the flip did that come from!! lol! That boy NEVER speaks a darn word of English.

But here I sit looking for this inspirational video on Youtube

Here's the lesson I'm teaching this week for Grade 2 Lesson 3. I took the inspiration from the awful 'play' that's in their book, I've replaced it with the Gruffalo and tried to make it slightly more fun. This lesson should be quite a bit of fun, so it's good if you've had a boring class or two. It's not as full of educational content as some of the other lessons out there. There's about 10 minutes of video at the end as well so make sure that will be ok with your co-teachers. It's also probably a handy one to have in case of emergency as it needs very little preparation.

There is a link to a prezi I made at the end of the pre-vocab powerpoint which should help review the vocabulary. You can use it online without signing up I believe.

The transcript A is for more advanced students and some of the words in rhyming position have been removed for them to guess.
Any feedback is appreciated.

i am going to do some of the activities from the pink book that i omitted the first go-round. afterwards, i'll focus on the proper use of the target language with the communication spotlight section. i am hoping to avoid using any powerpoint quizzes, no matter how jazzed up they may be, since they have no learning utility. also, i don't want to deal with the kids frothing at the mouth and the general din that happens when you play a powerpoint game at a boy's middle school.

if you find the activities in the pink book lacking or if you enjoy doing more work, i guess you could make your own. personally, i think the book is usually pretty useful, if you tweak the activities to your environment.

best.
