Lesson 8 listen and talk 1 and 2. Start the class with a 10min warm up. Do a short review of what we did last week. Go through the PPT, do some repeating/drilling of key phrases. Do the listen and talk, if there is time play a game!

Does any one else's co-teacher translate everything?  Mine does, so we never have time for games. I also get the feeling she is not a fan of when I put them in groups and ask them to talk about something in their groups, that's why my lessons are a bit cut and dry.

Chapter 8 - The Green Guide.

Week One - "Do You Mind?"
So the plan is to show this whole prezi, then go through the 3 listen and talk sections of "Do You Mind?" in the textbook, using the audio CD. They are page 148, 154, 160. The vocab words at the beginning of the prezi are from the title page of the chapter. The rest of the vocab words will be shown in week two.

Link to the Prezi -> http://prezi.com/2vaa4qblatt_/g3w6/
I saved it as super duper public so you should be able to save your own copy of it and edit it if you wish.

Week Two - "I Should Have Done It"
So the plan is to show this whole prezi, then go through the 3 listen and talk sections of "I Should Have Done It" in the textbook, using the audio CD.. They are page 149, 155, 161. The vocab words at the beginning of the prezi are from the title page of the chapter.
Link to the Prezi -> *In production*

Thanks for these TriKorea, aways a massive help. Once I get through my 8 out of school classes a week ill be able to put more time into my other lessons and ill upload them (not that they'll be any good  :D).

My co-teacher doesn't translate everything for me just the activities which is useful. To be honest we are in the classroom to get them to talk english so I can't see why your co-teacher has an issue...maybe she has to do more crowd control? Keep getting them talking, it's what we are paid to do. If she still seems to have an issue maybe talk to her?

Also big thanks to DBTM...you are inspring me to learn to use prezi when I get some time!  ;D

Much appreciated for the lessons.
I want to see if doing drills will work with these grade 3s, because my "fun activities" sure aren't :(

I made a couple of worksheets to go with this lesson. The "Do You Mind" wksht can be used by telling students to go around and ask their peers the questions using the dialogue and the given vocab.  It's pretty self-explanatory and easy to understand. I have used a wkshet designed like this before and I didn't have too many problems. Possible problem: students will copy each other instead of talking, so watch for that.

The "I should have done it"  wksht was made for group work, but I suppose you could give it to all students and have them go around the room and ask each other to share their experiences. I'm doing group work and making 6 groups of 6 students, and they will have to pick the best experience and share it with the class. I've done used this before and they really enjoy embarrassing each other  :P One time, a past student shared how he shit his pants at Lotte World. I was surprised he admitted that, but everyone was laughing and no one was mean. I'm going to give one sheet to every student to encourage all students to write, but it also works if you give one sheet per group. You can have them pick one student to write, but then the others have to do all the talking (this is good if you have a higher level student in a group of lower level students), or have each person pass the paper around and take turns writing and speaking. Each method can be used differently to control class management, that's why I offer different methods.  I also included some Korean instructions on the second wkshet to cut down on potential co-teacher's talk time.

Here is a board game I made for the "should/shouldn't have" section. Should be pretty self explanatory, but it's higher level so you may need to change some of the sentences. They had lots of fun with it!

Here is my powerpoint for unit 8.  I started the class with an intro into Do you mind, i do mind, and i don't mind.  Then quizzed them using the example dialogues with celebrities (celeb photos always get their attention!).  The went over the exercises in the book with them.  I asked review questions at the end to make sure they understood.

For "i should have done it", i also started with an intro into the expression and had the kids repeat the expression after me.  I then made some of my own examples and had them complete the sentence to make sure they understood.  After that, we did the book listening and talking exercises.

So ahhh the do you mind game didn't go down so well so if your keen to use that, you've been warned ha. It's the same as Simon from eatyourkimchi's battleships http://www.eatyourkimchi.com/teaching-english-in-korean-middle-schools/ - my kids don't pay attention long enough to understand aye. I think about 3 or 4 pairs played and the rest wouldn't have a bar of it.

And for I should have done it I got TriKorea's ppt and added a bit more (cheers for the ideas from your lessons TriKorea). I chucked in Never say no to Panda. Classic.

Added in my alternative 'do you mind' lesson..

I cannot tell you how this have helped me. I was given a book with no instructions and spent everyweek searching, interpreting, guessing, overlapping, etc. until more materials for my book posted on this forum. The only thing I'm left to do is find conversational worksheets or make my own from www. englishbananas.com. Please don't stop because I do not have the time to be creative like you people.  :D

Your lessons look fine to me  :D.  Some of the co-teachers aren't as supportive as they could be, but I was lucky with one of mine she just translates when I ask and helps me with making my reading worksheets.
