Grade 6 - Lesson 4 - My Birthday Is April 3rd - 대교

Period 2 - Teaching 'My pleasure' as a response to 'Thank you.'

I don't know about anyone else, but I find that to be silly.

Example: Student 1 gives student 2 candy. Student 2 says "thank you". Student 1 says, "my pleasure"

My pleasure? I'm going to teach 'You're welcome' as the practical response.

Perhaps if the student gave something to someone older, like a principal they would say 'My pleasure' but not in any normal, informal conversation.

Perhaps I'm overreacting....

I made this flick game for Lesson 1.

One print out for the months and another for the days.

Student flicks a coin onto a month and then onto a day on the calendar page, then says what date it is.

Worksheet for lesson 4-1.

* I used the worksheet in class today and notices a few errors. Apologies to those that have already used it.

I've removed the original one and replaced it with one that is hopefully all correct.

I think this book is trying to give a couple of different phrases the kids can use, or at least understand. I rarely use this phrase, but at least now they will know what it is if they are in America and someone's grandma gives them a piece of candy. All these guys already know you're welcome though.

Yeah, I'm using "you're welcome".

"My pleasure" sounds way too formal for me.

My CoT just told me today that we have an open class next week on this chapter (great). The Principal just told her today and he wants the lesson plan by tomorrow. Really sucks for her since she's new -- it's not like we can come up with an amazing lesson plan by tomorrow and the only person it will really affect is her. My open class last year we spent about a month creating a lesson plan and it paid off. This one is not gonna help her career...

Hope you mean you're welcome.

Kitkatknat and Jrong, "My pleasure" in response to "Thank you" sounds fine to me. I am a South African and I grew up saying "My pleasure" not "You're welcome", but I will be teaching my students both responses.

For period one I'm doing a classic game.
*6-8 teams of 4 students each
*Each team gets a bag with laminated cards of the months and 1st-12th in it
*I call out a date: "It's May 11th!"
*Students scramble in their groups to hold up the correct date.
*First team to hold up correct date gets a point.
*'loser' teams ask "What's the date today?"
*Winner team must say the date "It's May 11th."
*If 'loser' teams refuse to ask the question ("What's the date?") points are deducted from them
*Switch bags -- pass the bag to the next team (so that different bags are used each time)

How I rate this game:
Simplicity 9/10
Effectiveness (7/10)
Time I have to put into making it -- 20 minutes (7/10)

Variations on this game:
*If the particular class I have is rowdy that day, instead of them holding up the correct date I'll have them run to the back of the class and stick it on the wall. That way they can push each other around, get out some energy. Last time I did this kids went flying.

*Bonus round. I say 4 dates, only once. Students have to remember the 4 dates I've said (i.e. April 1st, June 3rd, March 11th, January 7th) and hold them up. Team that remembers all of them and gets it done first gets double points.

*If the students are being a pain in the ass that day I'll make them sing the date as a team (and dance) if they want points.

*If the students are uninterested (6th graders and puberty, every day is different), they have to run around the room once and come back to their seats while holding the correct date. First team to reach their seats again holding correct date gets points.

*I may tell them to "make the date" with another team. In other words, one person from one team brings "April" to another person from another team holding "2nd" and they put them together to get "April 2nd" while standing at the back of the room. This way two teams can get points at once.

*there are a bajillion variations

I made a worksheet that should help students with converting cardinal numbers (1, 2, 3/one, two, three) to ordinal numbers (1st, 2nd, 3rd/first, second, third). I know the text doesn't really go into it, but I think it's helpful to get a good foundation for something basic like writing out dates early on. ;)

Short ppt to introduce the vocab.

* I added something to my "game". Somebody on here posted a worksheet with dates of "Liberation Day", etc. Thanks for those dates. Instead of calling out "May 5th" or whatever, I called out "Parent's Day" and students had to scramble to put together which date they thought it was. It made the game a little more interesting.

A quick intro sheet to be done at the start of the first class. Kids write in Korean. Forms the basis of spot tests at the begining of every other class.

Hey guys since that video of Gogo (which is perfect for the lesson) has terrible track synchronization, I suggest downloading VLC media player (which should be your default media player in any case imo) and -- while the file is open with VLC -- going to "tools" - "track synchronization" and increasing the audio offset by about 0.7s (delayed).

It was really annoying and this is a simple and satisfying fix.
