Middle School Books (Jumping Kids)
waikalani:
I'm using this book also. I have to make my lesson to cover some of the material in the book, but I don't have to follow activity by activity. PLEASE let me know if you want to share other lessons as I'm at a loss for some of these topics.

These books are dire. Have you seen the reading passage in everyone can play? 'Jason is a physically and mentally challenged boy.' I have a couple of special needs children in some of my classes and the teachers have been using that passage, underlining the word challenged and then pointing to the kids in my class and saying Jason.....ah Korea!
These books are too random to do anything with them in my opinion, I dont think there is anything useful at all. I was thinking of doing something about friendship and giving friends advice helping them in certain situations....but thats the brightest brainwave I have had, I have been procrastinating about making my lesson plan all week. I dont even thik that would fill 45 minutes....
I havent really looked at 2nd grade but again it looks like it is to do with friendship and inviting people to events or giving opinions and advice, so maybe the same as above? Or maybe I will go in the direction of My mam is coming to Korea, what should she do? And then give her some cultural dilemmas where the kids have to tell me what she should do. I dunno, Im just throwing ideas around. Im stuck, today is Friday, my brain stops functioning as soon as I open the pages of these books.....maybe we should chat on a weekly basis and share ideas?

When I saw that story the thought "no good will come from this" crossed my mind. Fortunately, I won't have to teach that part of the lesson.
I don't know about everyone else, but I'm only responsible for teaching the "Talk Together" section of each lesson. I spread out those two pages over two lessons.
I've attached my first lesson for Grade 3 Lesson 1 "Everyone can play" in case it is helpful to anyone. Sorry if the lesson plan is unclear but I just write it for myself so it's not detailed. It's not my greatest lesson but you may be able to get something from it. Any questions, let me know.

I'm working through lesson plans for the grade 1 and 2 books...I'm already a little confused at the whole "Welcome to my Webpage" theme, as I don't think most of my students use myspace or Facebook and won't get the concept (could be wrong there). I'm planning on having them design their own webpages using the topic sentences from the textbook and from me, but since I don't have access to computers for each of them they'll be using paper and doing presentations...that's the best idea I have so far.
The second grade "school life" theme is a little easier, I'm going to be talking about extracurricular activities and then use a Jeopardy or "bomb game" template to have them memorize the different activities.
I'm glad I'm not the only one finding this difficult...not only are the chapters not related to each other, the information within the chapters seems . . . disconnected, as well. I'm having a hard time putting it together in my brain in a way that's cohesive enough to create some real lessons from it.

I have it a little more difficult, I have been told to spend one week on the talking part of the chapter and one week on the listening part. I decided not to do the introductions because my kids pretty much already know how to do that.......gah, just too difficult!
Your power point looks great though!
