Hi everyone,
I recently learned that I would be switching from teaching middle school to university in 2 months, so I thought I would start the process of uploading my more successful lessons for the benefit of my fellow waygookins. I hope these lessons help you out!
This is a lesson I used to help my students practice the relative adverb "where". I used the textbook Middle School English 3 by 권오량 for my lesson, but you can adapt it to fit your textbook, or just teach it as an independent lesson. I first went through the "Where Relative Adverb" PPT, then split my class into 4-5 teams and passed out the "Countries Key" document for their usage in the "World Capitals Jeopardy" game. There are 10 countries in each category, but only 5 are used. Students must answer using the relative adverb "where". (You can definitely adapt the Jeopardy PPT for other grammar points as well, or turn it into a game just for fun.) If a team answered a question incorrectly, I rotated to the next team and gave them the chance to answer. If they answered incorrectly, I rotated to the next team and so on. This tricked the students into drilling the grammar point at hand. (Mwahaha)
The $400 and $500 questions are pretty darn hard, but my students (at an all-boys middle school) were always overconfident, went for those, and spent forever trying to figure out the right answer...
