Grade 1, Unit 3 Giving Advice

Basically I warmed up with a Sentence Race game for review

Then I taught the book and PPT for giving advice

Then we did the worksheet

If time was needed at the end I had them go up and write the worksheet answers on the boards.

Had teams for points and candy for the entire class period.

Grade 2 Lesson 2a

Focus on:

1) Contractions
2) Comparison between 'What would you like to do':  Page 25 second dialogue
and
 'How about some / Would you like some':  Page 11 'sikhye' dialogue

Edit Minor typo edit

[minamteacher]

Hey rxqueen, are you talking about the Listen in or Speak out? I just read the 'Listen In'  to the class myself (page 265 of the Purple activities book).

[minamteacher]

I combined Cocoinkorea's and Siamagoo's 'have you ever?' and included a lesson plan with Korean definitions of key grammar.

P.S. Thanks a lot Cocokorea and Siamagoo, your ideas rocked!

P.P.S. See Cocokorea's post for the bingo card and irregular verb list.

Edit: Minor typo on slide 13

Grade 3 Lesson 2 - Conjunctions.

I was told by my co-teacher that a major focus of Grade 3 Lesson 2 is conjunctions, so I decided to try a conjunction lesson to reinforce her teaching.

This lesson is split into 3 parts

1) Explain conjunctions and play the school house rock video 'Conjunction Junction' ... I will give all the students the lyrics to the song and have them circle conjunctions ...

2) Write a list of conjunctions on the board as well as a sample sentence...

3) I give out cards with conjunctions on them...

I have provided my lesson plan and a condensed version of the lyrics...

Minamteacher, thank you for the lyrics and the lesson. I broke up the song into parts, and threw in some Korean.

I've utilized lessons posted on here prior and mixed in some of my own stuff... so the first slide is youtube video as an attention grabber.. then its review from last week.. then we play a quick memory  game.... I like to keep things very simple.... i don't put a lot on my power points because the less words the children see on the PPT... the more i can get them to produce....after the game.. we review the dialogue...then move on to part two of the dialogue...

Grade2 Lesson2: Use it or Lose it.

There's no grammar/vocab in this bomb game. It's just a bunch of logic puzzles that give the kids a chance to practice English. Also, since success is based more on lateral thinking than on English I hope some of the lower level students will have fun beating the students with real good English.

Edit: the links didn't work on the ppt. I must have messed something up. I'm sorry if that threw anyone off his/her game. I just clicked through the slides in order and that seemed to keep the kiddles happy.

Edit 2: mlcarn is absolutely right. There are 14 squares not 13. I'm terribly embarrassed.

Thanks all for your continued help, I'll be sure to post some of my lessons soon. One of my coteachers freaked when I told her no one in the English speaking world (I consulted with British, Canadian, American and South African teachers) says 'happy to meet you" in day to day conversation. Oh the joys of teaching with this book...

Hey Cranberryopah et al. I found some great conjunction games at ESL Tower which can help if students start to flag near the end of the lesson.

There are  fourteen squares in the twentieth slide of your Powerpoint. There are nine squares which make one big square and four more if you add four squares together. 1 big square, 9 small squares, and 4 medium-sized squares.

For the speak out section for Chapter 2 (Grade 2) discussing "What would you like...?" , I have uploaded my materials through my website (http://www.cocoinkorea.com > Teaching Materials).

Happy Teaching!

  Special thanks to cocoinkorea for the material.  I find that in this and my previous school many Ss cannot see the board well--even from the front row (!).  I've adapted  a lot of cocoinkorea's posted lesson for these glassesly challenged students.  As well kudos to Rufus for his "What do you want to do" Jeopardy game which will be active in my class tomorrow.

Hi all.
I'm going to start uploading the material I've made for these textbooks. I've been borrowing from you guys for too long now, so thank you dearly.

This is what I've done for Grade 1 lesson 3B (Answers on the web) - worries and advice.

I've attached the lesson plan as well but it's extremely basic as my kids are at a very low level.
Start of with the video clip for a laugh.
Go through the ppt slides to introduce "What's wrong" with examples and then "Why don't you?" to give advice.
Ss then practice the dialogue with the dialogue sheet and then move on to the worksheet (which I've stolen and adapted from Be the ball's worksheet - thanks so mutch!).

I hope this helps someone.

Luv, luv, luv the game: http://genkienglish.net/haveyouever.htm  Edit: The kids ate it up.
Thank you for the great find

I will try this with my students. Entertaining way to use this phrase.

Hi

My lesson plan for grade 1 - I'm lucky.

[hannah22]

Here is a "Sorry, but thats not right" worksheet where they change the sentences for grade 2, lesson 3.

Also a powerpoint I made for "What does that mean??" grade 2

Hope it helps! Lesson 4, grade 1 is nooooo fun for me right now.

Hi

This was my introduction that I did this year for grade 1 (If anyone still needs introduction ideas)

[Stefan1]

Grade 2 : Lesson 2.
I downloaded a PPT last week (can't remember from who, but its a brilliant lesson) and added a few minor things.

Hope someone can use it.

[raka_dier]

Grade 3. Lesson 3A (Music for change). Do you remember.

I borrowed a memory quiz game from someone, but can't remember who. Thanks a lot though! I added a bit of explaining to it before the game. Then moved on to a unscramble the sentence worksheet.
