Hi, does anyone else have to use this lovely textbook with their 1st grade MS students? I was wondering if anyone had any great ideas for games or activities that could be used with this lesson or if anyone has actually covered this lesson before and had a particularly successful class. The main themes are clothes and shop[ping and the main phrases seem to be 'How may I help you?' 'I'm looking for...' and 'How much is it?'

I really want to get this lesson right as I have to base my 1st ever open class on this chapter of the book in a couple of weeks time. Any tips/ advice would be much appreciated!

I also have this book. However, I will start this lesson in about 2 weeks. What you could do to get some ideas since it is about shopping is look into the similar lesson which is covered in elementary school 6th grade, 'May I Help You?' You may be able to steal some game ideas from that and the lesson plans are on there as well to give you some more ideas. Here is the link: http://waygook.org/index.php/topic,1293.0.html Good luck on your first open class. I'm sure it will be great~!

When I taught this lesson last year, my co-teacher and I had them act out situations. Gave groups cards for prices, and had food items on the table at the front. Students had to put random prices on the cards from $1 to $10 and we put them in front of the items at random. We then had activities through the lesson which resulted in a team getting certain amounts of money if they answered questions or won one of the activities, and then at the end of the lesson, we had each team split their money fairly and then come and buy a snack to take away with them back to their classroom. They loved it because they were working for things like chocolate milk, cookies and cream breads.

The activities were based on the listening and speaking parts of the text book and we were focusing mostly on the 'In Communication' task for the majority of the prizes.

I hope this gives you an idea of something you could do.

For the activity section I was thinking about printing out sets of cards (laminating them) and playing something similar to "Go Fish". All the students would be put into groups of 5-6 and each group given a set of cards. Set a number that each student has to pick up (it doesn't really matter) and have them practice "I'm looking for ________. Do you have any?/Can you help me?" They direct this question toward one other student only, and if that student has the same card in their hand they have to reply with a positive response and give the card to the person posing the question. If not, they respond negatively and the first student has to add a card to their hand.
I would just go to http://www.eslflashcards.com/ and print off a deck from there.

You might also introduce another form of the same question as they like to see native teachers giving the kids multiple forms of the same expression (as they don't get that from the books). Ex: I'm trying to find __________.

Oh! If only Bob Barker was still doing the price is right.

Hello folks,
Here are some materials I made for this lesson. I took the Price is Right game from grade 6 chapter and modified it to suit this chapter. It took a middle level 1st grade class about 25 minutes to go through the shopping powerpoint and they seemed to like it...especially the adjumas speaking English on the last slides.
If you finish early and have a minute or two to kill at the end, the last slide on the Price is Right game is one big link to a clip from the Price is Right.
The shopping list and flashcards I made for the "go fish" style game for low level classes. You can also use this in conjunction with a printable gameboard from www.toolsforeducators.com where you select items in the dropdown to become your gameboard.
I hope someone finds this material useful!

wow cassie thanks a million~
nice work with this game and the ppt. you definitely saved me a lot of lesson planning time

i have a question though. i just wonder how you dealt with teams getting items? take kimbap, for example, can every team buy it, or is it only the team with the closest guess gets the chance to buy it?

also, lots of the bonus questions are about change, but thats not in the ppt. so i plan to ask some comprehension questions about change while i present the ppt

i like the card ideas, but i wont use them. my school has two english 'zones' with touch screen tvs and special furniture, but we 'dont have any budget' for laminating materials. go figure

Here is a lesson I did previous to the textbook you mentioned. I incorporated some information about shopping in the US compared to Korea. For example: sizes are bigger in the US, you would want to buy a size bigger here in Korea than what you wear in the US (so a small in the US is bigger than a small in Korea). First I went through the ppt, drawing some pictures on the board to show the difference between Homeplus layout and Walmar/Target layout (Homeplus: tall, many floors, Walmart/Target: wide, one floor). Go over some shopping differences and little big of style differences. Go over vocab of clothing. Go over dialogue parts used on worksheet (A: Teacher, B: Class). I have them do the worksheet and fill in the blanks with a partner. After giving them time to practice I go over the answers on the top of the worksheet. Then I do a few quiz questions on the ppt. I like to leave roughly 15-20min for the game/explanation.

It took a while to make the cards but the students really had fun with the game. The game is Go Fish but with clothes instead. It took a while because I made 8 decks of cards. I created the cards by printing off the pictures used in the ppt using the slide handout option when printing. I set 6 slides per page. 6 per slide gives a good size for cards.

Hope this helps someone, or gives an idea for something else!

One that I just tied into the lesson, as all of the students may not be going to shop in the U.S. or Canada, is the idea of saying different currencies (화폐). Give them some different countries where they would have a greater possibility of visiting. U.S., Canada, England, Europe (as a whole), Russia, South Africa, Australia, Mexico (and many latin countries), Brazil, China, Japan, etc. However, they will give you the Korean version of some like Japan sounds like 'en' but we would say 'yen'. Then explain that the currency marker should always come after the number to show the price. Should be easy.

Another concept that you could work just a little on is the difference between 백, 천, 만, etc. in Korean. How does that translate to English when said? Student have a lot of difficulty saying something like 25만원, so instead of 250,000 they'll say 25,000 because of the way it looks. Explaining how to say it using the places of hundred, thousand, and even million might be very useful.

hankmcmasters · « **Reply #9 on:** November 26, 2010, 10:02:17 am »

one thing i thought about doing was showing things like 3x1 deals in a different currency. ive that when traveling these kinds of things have been very difficult for me to figure out quickly. buy one get one free is a another example.

and one other thing, does the currency marker always go at the end? seems like it usually goes on the front, actually. when its written out like 'two thousand won' it goes at the end but when it is just a number it goes at the front $200, i think this might just bog down my students.

sheila · « **Reply #10 on:** November 26, 2010, 10:11:42 am »

I mean when you're speaking the marker goes at the end no matter where it's written.

cassie · « **Reply #11 on:** November 26, 2010, 10:33:24 am »

hankmcmasters,
There should be 1 slide in there that shows the ice cream and that they give the clerk 1,000 won. That's the only place I had "change" in the powerpoint. I didn't focus too heavily on it because they seemed to know this from before and were able to produce the word easily.
In the game, there are 2 bonus slides that have change on them, but really only 1 is supposed to be about change. On the other one, the target word is "clerk" but I put something hard and easy together so they didn't get totally discouraged if they couldn't come up with clerk.
As for getting the items, it can go either way. I'd suggest only letting the team who guessed closest have the chance to buy it or they usually end up with the same number of items at the end of the game. If that does happen, the team with the most money is the tie breaker.
Hope that helps!

hankmcmasters · « **Reply #12 on:** November 30, 2010, 09:16:01 am »

cassie
you're right, there is a change slide in there. i thought i looked through the whole ppt, but i guess i didnt $:-\$ . my students seem to be really good with the shopping item vocab, but terrible at numbers. I need to find a good way for them to brush up before playing the price is right. Like sheila said, they have a lot of difficulty with changing 만 into English.

and yes, sheila, if you're speaking the marker goes at the end. but if you're writing it goes at the front in English, and at the back in Korean. not many of my students had problems with this, so i might mention it to them to boost their confidence~

Here is my lesson for this chapter.
First the PPT, then a 3 minute funny/cute kids video about shopping (link on last slide), then the worksheet with a partner, finally I review the worksheet by having them speak their dialogs from the worksheet. Takes about 45 min. Hope it helps! Thanks to all who posted before, I borrowed some and added some of my own.

Thanks Cassie. I used some of your ppt and edited it with animal pictures.

kellym · « **Reply #15 on:** November 14, 2011, 01:04:53 pm »

here is my prezi for this lesson. i took what some other people had posted and focused on the conversation in the book, cheap vs. expensive, and how to say large numbers.

http://prezi.com/utjb_gphnnrm/grade-1-lesson-12-the-hundred-dresses/

i haven't decided on a game yet. i tried to do the "price is right" game with my first class but it was WAY too difficult. So i'll have to think of something new. if you have any suggestions please let me know!

~enjoy^^

Hi everybody, I made a giant powerpoint and also included slides from other people's presentations. Thank you so much. The power point includes:

Suggestions from the text: Who do you think is the best dressed? Do you like your school uniforms? etc.

Review of numbers #1-20, counting by 10's up to one hundred, review of one hundred, two hundred, three hundred, etc., thousands, and then big numbers. (How to read 1,234,567,890 in English. For this part, I start by having them say ninety. I cover all the numbers on the TV screen with my hand or a book up to that point. Then, I reveal the 8. Eight hundred ninety. Then I show the seven and they see how it is in the thousand spot. So they should say seven thousand, then eight hundred ninety. Then I show the six. 67 thousand, 890. Usually I only make them go up to a million, but advanced groups may like to go farther.)

Review of clothing items. Also, asking how much is it?

Presentation of new dialogue format. May I help you? It's too expensive, etc.

Towards the end, added slides describing how to play the Go Shopping! game. This idea was modified from someone's earlier suggestion. It's like Go Fish! but has shopping clothes. Each set of cards is available in the Word document. 12 cards in each stack, and I made four copies of each of the 12 cards. So each pile should have 48 cards. I added a Wild! card that can be any item. The slides in the power point are only for the basic format of the game. The game can be increased in difficulty by making sets of cards that contain 6 items. For example, one pile would have both skirts (different prices), both boots (different prices) etc. Then, the students have to ask, "Do you have a skirt?" -- "Yes. How much is it?" -- "It's BLAH BLAH BLAH." To make a set of four, the students must have four of the same item, and the prices must also all be the same.

The additional materials at the end are for a garage sale. They also describe differences between shopping in Korea and shopping in America. (Thank you to the person who first made that power piont).

that's quite a comprehensive powerpoint. how long did it take to get through it? i can't imagine being able to finish more than half the lesson in one class...

I made a set of numbers 1-8 and 2 commas on A4 size paper (one number on each piece) and laminated them. I'm going to bring some students to the front and give each of them a number or comma. Then, my co-teacher and I are going to take turns calling out numbers and they have to put themselves in the correct order. I thought about choosing a student to put other students in the correct order so that I can have more members of the class participate. Of course this will be after reviewing numbers and teaching them how to say them. Any suggestions on how to improve the idea?

elaineccatgirl · « **Reply #19 on:** November 24, 2011, 03:00:47 pm »

this powerpoint and activity worked out surprisingly well.

powerpoint layout:
-vocab: clerk, customer, numbers and prices review
-introduce 'i'm looking for a/some ___' with clothing items
-practice shopping dialogue
-directions for activity--find your partner

the activity takes just a few minutes but once they finished, each pair had to demonstrate the conversation to me before getting candy. to play, each student gets a secret card with a clothing item and price on it. he must go around the room and use the dialogue to find the person with the matching card. the directions are well detailed in the powerpoint.

i made a lot of cards [2 per slide], so print two of however many cards you need for your class. for example, i printed 10 slides twice for 40 students. i also used bigger sized cards to clearly demonstrate the activity first.

if you want to have each pair come up to you, it might be a wise idea to have some sort of worksheet ready for after they have already finished and are waiting around for the rest of the class.

30-40 minutes.
