Superheroes - clothes lesson materials

Hi all,

I have just created a catch phrase game using the same principle as the bomb game only in the style of UK quiz show catch phrase. hope you think it is usual.

Thanks
Nick

I'm sure many others teach after school. I have a schedule of broad topics to cover, and here's one of them: Family adjectives for a 3rd and 4th grade class.

Just taught this to my 3rd & 4th graders.  We'd introduced the vocab at the end of the previous lesson, but not all students remembered it.

Lesson objective: Students will learn the titles for various family members
Key vocab:  Sister, brother, mother, father, grandfather, grandmother, aunt & uncle

• Begin with normal routines (in my club we exchange greetings and write today's date on the board)
  
• Play and sing the Finger Family song 2-3 times (I've decided to ignore it when they flip the bird because most of them don't get it anyhow): First preview, then review each finger's family member, then sing again (maybe 2 more times depending on interest)
  
• Pass out family tree and review each family member, asking students to write the Korean translation next to the English word (I speak a little Korean so I'm able to keep tabs on this)*
  
• Have students push the desks back and make a circle of chairs.  Have one student (probably one of your higher level students; they can help you model the activity) stand in the middle and take his/her chair out of the circle (so you have n-1 chairs)
• Play this variation of the camp game "The Big Wind Blows" (http://www.ultimatecampresource.com/site/camp-activity/the-big-wind-blows.html) - for this variation, give each student a slip of paper cut out from the family members list.  Before you begin, help students who can't read their slips.
  
  • Write this (or a similar) sentence frame on the board: "Will my _____ please get up?"  Give a few examples of what the student in the center could say.  Model for the students what you would do if you heard your family member role called.
    Let students use the family tree papers they just filled out for reference.
    Play several rounds.  This gets noisy, and you may need to move students if two "uncles" or two "sisters" are sitting right next to each other and just quickly switching spots when they are called. :)
    
  • You can wrap up this lesson in several ways.  One would be to simply call out and quiz the students (Korean/English); another way would be to have students fill in a blank version of the family tree with the same pictures.

*A quick note, students may give you several Korean names for the single English term of "aunt" and "uncle" (amongst others) because Korean has more specific terms based on whether the relative is on your mom's or your dad's side, whether the aunt or uncle married in or is a blood relative, whether the sibling is older or younger... and other nuances I don't really understand.

Enjoy!

(apologies for the bizarre formatting, I can't figure out how to properly bullet this list)

Here is a very simple powerpoint I made for my after school class.

Here are some more...

I teach after school classes to grade 4 and 5. I’m doing the same lesson for both levels. There are probably loads of afterschool threads but I couldn’t find an appropriate one to put my lesson plans in. Here’s my lesson plan for the whole semester and I will add on my material as I create it.

One problem is that waygook won’t let me up-load Microsoft Publisher files which is where I create all my worksheets, mainly because you can integrate pictures and arrange text boxes better. I’ll try and put them in word but it’s difficult to re-space them.

If you have any materials for any of the lessons for these grades, feel free to add them.
