I put together a two page logic and word puzzle worksheet to go with the first listen and speak (it has minimal Korean translations).  The first page has three process-of-elimination puzzles.  I've gone through the first one with them on the board and elicit the answers from the students, leaving them to do the next two on their own.

A few students work ahead and I help them out on the next page, but I take up the first page before going over the first couple word puzzles on the next with the whole class.

The worksheet took about 30 minutes to go through.  Most of the students hadn't finished the alphadoku, but it was primarily there only if there was extra time.

@MiddleENG: Logic puzzles I like. Alphaduku I like. But, I'm stuck on one of the word puzzles.

1. Foreign language.
2. Lunch apart???
3. Sick in bed.
4. I'm bigger than you.
5. Top secret.
6. Downtown.

What's the answer to the lunch one?

Thanks. I didn't have enough coffee this morning!

For my lessons I've just modified the ppts that I did last year. It is chock full of optical illusions, riddles, and auditory puzzles. Less of a focus on the text, and more of a fun lesson as the year winds down.

The alphadoku is turning out pretty hard for many of my students so I'm passing out a warm up/easier version for my last class.  You could either divide the page into eight squares as I did, or replace the Alphadoku section of the puzzle worksheet with these easier ones.

The answers to the original Alphadoku puzzles found in my first post:

First Puzzle (on left):
IBA   DCH  GEF
HCF  AGE  IDB
EGD  FIB   HAC

BFE  GAD  CHI
CHI  EBF  AGD
ADG  IHC  BFE

GEB  HDI  FCA
DIH  CFA  EBG
FAC  BEG  DIH

Second Puzzle:
AFDG   BHEC
BHEC   GDAF

FEHB   CGDA
CDGA   FEHB

DCFE   ABGH
GBAH   DCFE

EGBF   HACD
HACD   EFBG

A Match Puzzle Activity (Matchstick Mania), which takes the students at least 25 minutes to complete (they didn't finish all the puzzles, so it depends on whether your students are logical thinkers or not). The websites are cited in the notes section - there are a few more puzzles there if you need to add to it.

I used toothpicks instead of matches.

NOTE: There are usually at least two ways to solve each puzzle, even though I have only pasted one solution.  Allow enough time for all students to at least attempt it so that each has a chance to focus. After puzzle 3, the students were really getting into the swing of the exercise.

Focus phrases to use during the activity:
"Let me think",
"What do you want to make",
"I'm sure this is right/okay"

This is a Cards Against Humanities game for Period 1.



The object of the game is to have the most cards.

To start the game, each player draws 7 white cards.

One randomly chosen player begins as the card czar and plays a black card. The card czar reads the question.

Everyone else answers the question  by passing one white card, face down, to the card czar.

The card czar shuffles all the answers and shares each card combination with the group. For full effect the card czar should usually reread the black card before presenting each answer. The card czar then picks a favorite, and whoever played the answer keeps a black card as one awesome point.

After the round, new player becomes a card czar, and everyone draws back up to 7 white cards.

A Shinee Jeopardy game. After every question ask the students, "Are you sure?"

They will have to watch the Shinee Sherlock video. There are aLSO REBUS puzzles AND OPTICAL ILLUSIONS. Make sure to print out Mystery 500.

It's a Magic Eye picture puzzle.
Hold the center of the printed image right up to your nose. It should be blurry. Focus as though you are looking through the image into the distance. Very slowly move the image away from your face until the two squares above the image turn into three squares. If you see four squares, move the image farther away from your face until you see three squares. If you see one or two squares, start over!

This chapter is tough to come up with something for a theme.  I would guess magic, some type of talent show, or your talents. 

(I prefer to make theme based lessons for my second week when I don't have to do specific pages from the book.)

Combined LSpeak 1 and 2. I have to do both in one chapter. I introduce this first LSpeak and then I do LSP2 and Bring Together. It's a lot crammed into one class so the ppt. isn't that detailed

Print out the worksheets, let the students look at the photos and let the students answer the question for each picture. You can go over the answers after and use, "Are you sure?"

I gave the students about 30 seconds for each picture. The whole activity should take about 15-20 minutes.

Shinee Jeopardy saved me! I couldn't think of any interesting activity that actually incorporated the key expression. Too many other lessons were just focusing on the optical illusions. My students really loved this game! Some questions were really hard (especially the word puzzles), but I think that made it more fun for them.

If anyone is interested in a different version, I changed a few things to fit my students:
-Students had to answer "I'm sure that it's [answer]" instead. If they answered wrong I would ask them "are you sure?" and give them one more chance to answer. 
-Changed the mystery slides to optical illusion pictures to make it easier. Nothing to print.
-Highlighted all the answers in yellow so it's more clear.

Thank you soooo much tkhalilstar34!

Here's a bookhunt, based on another one posted elsewhere on Waygook. Kids answer the questions and tell the teacher; if they get the right answer, they get a number for that question. They use the numbers to solve the coded message.
