More material for Lesson 3: My Favorite Subject is English

PPT for period 1 for the Listen & Speak, and Listen & Play activities.

I will also use AndyT910's PPT as an intro for this lesson.
If using AndyT910's PPT, the text on some of the slides needs to be changed to match the picture.

I am using these activities for the last lesson.  The first one is a dictation relay.  There are 12 sentences hanging around the room. The students work in pairs, one student writes while the other reads the sentence and then tells the other what to write.  I have each group start at a different number 1-12 and then proceed to the next highest number with 12 going to 1.  This prevents large groups of students at one paper. 

At the beginning I have them do RPS and the winner will write 1-6 and the loser will write 7-12.  It would be easier for them if I had the winner write the first 6 sentences and the loser write the second set of 6, but that's harder for me to explain.  I can easily show 1-6, 7-12 on the board.

When they finish I have them bring me the paper and I check it.  I underline any mistakes and they must correct them before I will sign off on their paper.

There will be students in your class that can not write and they will usually be paired with a higher level student who will get very frustrated.  A teacher will need to work with these groups.  If the low level student knows the alphabet a teacher will need spell almost every word for the student.  If not, then the teacher can write and the student can copy.  It's not easy, but it can work and both students will appreciate your effort.... most of the time.

This takes about 20 minutes.  Then in the second half I plan to do the Mario game.  A tip about team selection.  I ALWAYS number the groups 1-6 and use numbered ping pong balls to randomly select the groups.  I hate having groups beg to be chosen.  Also when choosing the groups i can wait for the class to become completely quiet, which helps manage the noise level.  Random selection is also effective in choosing groups when they don't want to do something, like speak in front of the class.  It's difficult for them to argue with random selection.  Good Luck

EDIT: the ppt game had some issues.  I think they've all been corrected.

Girls Generation Bomb Game for part 1. This is not my powerpoint..I just modified it. Also a boardgame where students must say their favorite things.

here are flash cards I made for this unit (I took the pictures from a post on this thread so thanks)

for a good size opent PPT and when printing select the option for handouts (select 1 or 2 slides per page)  I find 2 is perfect size but my classes only have like 8 kids. So maybe bigger for bigger class.

Then just cut, laminate and cut again. 

Period 2

ppt that reviews the target phrase "Do you like ____ing?"
Modified from another post.

Period 3 Letters and Sounds

Period 7 Wrap Up

Do and Show
We did a bingo game instead. The kids loved it.
Students walk around and find people who match the pictures on their card.

Q: Do you like ______ing? A: Yes, I do. / No, I don't.

The World and Me
I didn't actually get to use this ppt. But for anyone who wants to give it a go ...
The aim was to get the students thinking about strange or weird subjects. Then get them to think about some things they like and what they want to learn. The students can then draw and write what they want to learn in their notebooks.

Here is the bomb game I am using on Friday for the last period. I found the template already on my computer, so I have no idea who to credit, but my kids asked for a maple story game, so I made it.  There are no answers written in the game, and there is a portion where you the teacher rock, paper scissors against the students.  If they win, press the blonde boy. If you win, press the bad guy.

I haven't tried it on a real class, so feel free to let me know how it goes!

I also made this zombie game which I did use in class.  it went over really well, but there are a few bugs I honestly haven't bothered to fix.  Just reused slides so the animation doesn't do it's thing...

Here is a quick blazing pens ppt I threw together using key sentences from the book.  Just used it as a filler

Hello all,

I thought this video might be helpful for this lesson. Perhaps show it to the kids and give them a task like figuring how many times math was mentioned, or what was the most popular subject etc... Or just as filler if necessary.
