Here is my lesson plan for the first part of this chapter and an introductory powerpoint.  I have some additional verbs in there because of a project we are doing.

Here is a link to a really fun song! It's great to do all of the motions with the students.

Also, this is the 5th lesson of 10 so it's the half way point in the book. Do you guys have any plans for special lessons. My students won't have exams until July 5th.

last week I gave the book "a rest" and concentrated on vocabulary acquisition with adjectives.  If I need filler at the end of the semester I'm going to work on basic sentence structure with them.

Here are some things I picked up from mediafire last year.

Intro ppt - basic pictures of actions
Bomb game
From head to toe - picture book (I tried having kids act this out last year but I didn't have a coteacher so it didn't go well. But I'll give it another go this time.)

here is my lesson plan for part 2 of the chapter. 
I have decided to use each lesson to review verb sets and I am using the ones from MES-English
so I am attaching the files for those as well

here is my lesson plan for Part 3
We will learn to sing "Can an Elephant Jump"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GA6dKNsl6zk
I am attaching someone else's file for teaching it
We will learn verbs from set 2 so I have attached the MES-English file
Our game involves taping a picture of each verb to a student's back - they have to guess what it is by asking "Can I swim?" etc.

Here is my lesson plan for Part 4
I have added a review ppt and Pass the Ball game
There is a Disappearing Dialogue ppt
I will Review verbs3 with them and play "Say It Frst" - divide the class into two teams - make two lines facing the T
T quickly shows a flashcard - only the front S in each line can answer - First one to Say It gets a point
Then they go to the end of line and you repeat

I've got a treat for you guys.
 I gave the pirates of the classroom game a total makeover for the lesson review for this chapter.

Not only is it more pretty in every way, but it has a nifty little button that changes the pictures at the top of the map screen that makes the verb options change.

I'm posting this too late for anyone to find it useful this year but hopefully it will help someone next year. I hope you enjoy!

One thing: If you decide to shuffle the reward slides, you'll find that all the beach slides are in the first half and the jungle slides are in the second half. You might try to keep them separated to maintain the illusion that they are exploring the island.

Here is a worksheet with vocabulary, key sentences, listen and speak 1 & 2, Story Time, Bingo game, and a wordsearch. The vocab and key sentences also have the Korean. For homework they must write their vocab and key sentences 3 times. If they did then the next class we can play the bingo game.
Also I have made a New Words PPT. For each slide we practice saying the letter, then the sound it makes, then the new word comes up and we practice saying it. Then the Korean meaning comes up. Then a sentence that the words goes in.
Hope you find all this helpful. There are so few resources with this book.

Hi!

Here's a song and video I made for teaching can/can't. My students have had tons of fun with it. I split them into three groups: each group takes one verse and is responsible for creating a dance to go along with it.

The attachments: slide show so you can teach it at a slower pace and a printable version of the lyrics.

My students grasped the 'Can' module very well. I actually made the PPT below for the review lesson when they came back after summer vacation, and to stretch them a little bit.

I took a chance that 'I can ____' is not too tricky to turn into 'He can / she can / they can'. It worked, with my co-teacher's help.

1. The first part of the PPT is a vocab review in which the students go over the different forms :- e.g. "I can ____" for general activities, "I can play ____" for sports, and "I can play the _____" for instruments.

2. After that, there is a guessing game in which the students raise their hands to ask questions "Can they ____?" in order to work out, by deduction, which person the teacher is thinking of. There is an easy one and a much harder one, in case your students are really bright.

3. After that, there is a role-play script to follow. My students enjoyed this bit the most, especially when in a moment of rare extroversion I performed an example roleplay and jumped from one spot to another in order to play all 3 characters!

4. Lastly there are some cards you can laminate, cut up and hand out, one to each student. The symbols in the box denote what they can do, and the big symbol is what they're looking for. Therefore, they walk around the room, saying "Hi, nice to meet you, can you ____?" until they pair up by finding a match (where the answer is 'Yes I can' to both students, respectively). Try to enforce them using the greetings and nice to meet you as well, so they don't cut corners and use unnatural language.

I hope this is of some use to some of you.
