High School Easter Lessons

I'm playing the South Park card this week and using my usual lesson format to wrap it up as edutaintional.

Easter:

• Native Speaker gives students a pop quiz on Easter. 10 minutes.
• Native Speaker goes over the pop quiz.  5 minutes.
• Native Speaker demonstrates Easter by playing South Park Video. 20 minutes.
• Students perform Crossword worksheet.  10 minutes.
• Native Speakers goes over Crossword worksheet. 5 minutes.

Notes:

• The kids got most of the religious aspects of Easter although they were confused about the nonreligious aspects, like 'eat raw eggs' and 'rabbits dipped in chocolate.'
• The smart students know to write down the words that the class brainstorms for Easter symbols.  Be sure to mention the words used in the crossword activity at this point.
• There's almost too much work in this lesson so the timing of this class can go wrong if the kids are slow.

The video is EP11-4 Fantastic Easter Special and is online with Korean subtitles through SouthParkTV.net.

The crossword was created from Variety Game's Crossword Maker.

My post is still fresh enough to warrant a gratuitous youtube video to be shared with students and co-teachers...

hey! I'm writing this from an iPhone. Nice lesson plan :) the video makes me think of Adam and Karin's rabbit.

In case anyone is looking to fill a bit of time, a hastily thrown together Easter powerpoint with the barest of info <well the vernal equinox stuff is a bit random>. My school likes when I share Western culture tidbits. Oh, and I picked a wordsearch to go with it that had vernal equinox as a word so felt like I should attempt to explain it's relevance <same with Eastre>. The moral here is to pay more attention to word searches you download before you print them off! Something to work with though. Cheers all

great material!  i'll be using this for my teachers' conversation workshop.  thanks for sharing!

I can't manage to get this episode with korean subtitles. I've looked on Daum but then it just links back to youtube and has english subtitles. Can anyone help?
