This was a powerpoint I used from the elementary section (thanks to the previous contributor for these) - it covers country, nationality and language - the first is the vocab and guessing where the country is on a blank map. The second presentation leaves blanks for the students to fill in for review.

I used this and then played a "Pirates of the East Sea" bomb game to cover the review of the key phrases in Lesson 9 and this vocab.  Thanks to the original creator of the template.

This is a Pirates of the East Sea Review Bomb game - mostly for Lesson 9, but also with a little bit of review for Lessons 7 and 8.

Just FYI: Columbia is a university. Colombia is a country. You should change that in your presentation.

This might go well with HL_says' ppt.

It's a pair work exercise, students talk about a person then describe them to their partner.
Some instructions are in the ppt comments section.

My students are fairly low level, you can adjust the language accordingly.

My god, this lesson is sparse...

Listen and speak 1 is literally a recap of stuff students learned in ELEMENTARY grade 3.
Listen and speak 2 has some promise in the form of gestures
Bring together is...Listen and speak 1 all over again. /facepalm
Lets communicate is a very limited flash card game.

Listen and speak 2 has some potential...but the rest of those pages are just trash. Complete trash.

I agree. This lesson is especially atrocious.

For those interested, I already made a 'saying hello in different languages' PPT for the Merhaba Turkey lesson in Grade One. Obviously, I don't want to reuse that lesson for my own classes, but someone else may want to. Here you go: http://www.waygook.org/index.php/topic,50721.msg369693.html#msg369693

When you invariably run out of things to do because of the lack of content in this chapter, you can play around with this game. Last week we did relative pronouns, so I plan on making them guess where they are with the pattern "I think it's a country that speaks _______" so we can also practice what we did today.

This chapter's theme seems to be about World travel, greetings, or world culture.

I used this for Grade One Chapter six.  It's about travel and going to Turkey.  I'll include it here as some of this can be for this chapter.  You'll have to make some modifications before you use it to make it fit this chapter though.  Please feel free to share here if you've used and modified for your own class.

Yep. But I've decided to disregard that, since we did it last year and will inevitably do it again next year, and focus a lesson on gestures. Powerpoint and worksheet attached. Note that one of the gestures included is the middle finger. If you don't think your students can handle that, then take it out.

For the second half of this lesson I did a single page (p.158) and skipped the atrocious activity on p. 159. Instead, I taught my students how to sign (in ASL) the alphabet. First I played the Sesame Street video so that they could learn the signs. Then we all practiced to the other video while saying the ABCs. Then I had the students do the decipher activity which contains some of the phrases from the unit. It was actually a very successful lesson! With extra time, I had students practice signing their names.

I did a simple "create your own language" worksheet. Put them into teams, have them create their language name as well as accompanying expressions and gestures. Took them about 15 minutes to complete.

Similar to other ideas,

Students make new gestures and language, then roleplay in pairs as a foreigner and Korean chatting.

I used a culture/body language ppt that I got from here to spark some interest before doing the activity. It may be too long to show all of it.
