Me and my co-teacher decided to switch this lesson with lesson 8. This way we can focus on the past tense section and talk about our summer vacations together with the students.

So, here is a ppt introducing some key expressions in the past tense as well as a bomb game using the same expressions.
You can print out the slides and use them as flashcards for a charades/pictionary game (my students love these)

There's nothing here to do with the transport section though, we're going to cover that next week.

I finally have some time to add some material so...here is the new words and expressions ppt for the 1st period of this lesson. There's videos in here (which may or may not work depending on your computer's macro). I tried to make it less bland than all the previous ones since it's the students first day back to class since summer vacay. I haven't tried this out yet so I don't know what the outcome will be. But I hope it works out for someone.

I'm going to take a poll of the class and find out how they get to school and how they get to the supermarket. If you have any ideas of other destinations to put on the worksheet, I'd be interested.

I'm thinking park... friend's house... something like that?

This would be done as a group. Each student gets a poll to fill out, and they have 15 minutes to ask everyone in the class how they get to school/supermarket/friend's house/park.

I just made this to go with the first period.  it's just really simple review of some of the terms used and modes of transportation.  Also, my kids are obsessed with Minecraft, so I'm hoping it will keep their interest

Dice Game: I will use in period 4.
How to play:
Student A rolls dice and asks the question (e.g.) Did you go there by ____?
Students B rolls dice and answers (e.g.) Yes, I did/No, I went there by ____.
If student B rolls 3 or 4 - multiply by 2 so they get 6 or 8 points
If student B rolls 1 or 6 - multiply by -1 so they get -1 or -6 points
If student B rolls 2 or 5 - multiply by 1 so they get 2 or 5 points

Vocabulary sheet is given out in period 1 and can be referred to in other lessons.
Role play is memorised and tested in period 5-6

Writing test sheet is given out in period 1 and tested in period 7.
Students must do writing for homework.

Hi there ~

Great posts already, love the minecraft game - Here's a very simple PPT game I made relating to this chapter.

Its based on the game "hot-seat", there are tons of ways to play it. This way involves teams and one player from each team facing away from the screen and the other team members describing the picture to the player in the hot seat.

I tailored to make it relevant to Daejeon, as the kids enjoy references like that, tweak it to make relevant to your area.  It goes transport/destination/transport/destination....

This activity went over very well with our students.

I introduced the lesson with a sketch of a businessman and homeless man. I asked the students what these words meant. I told them we were going to watch a short film where they were the main characters. I wanted them to think about what those characters did.

I showed this video:


I followed up by asking some basic concept checking questions. (What is the businessman like? What is his problem? Who helps him? etc).

Then, I had the students give me verbs in the past tense to describe the story. I wrote these on the board. You can write the verbs done by each character around the sketch from earlier.

Some verbs: drank, begged, gave, got, stole, tried, bought, ordered, lost, found, arrived, opened, helped, etc.. They came up with so many verbs. I was very impressed.

Following this, they chose either the businessman or the homeless man and described his day in their English notebooks. They had to write at least 3 sentences. Volunteers who read their sentences received one stamp.

Overall, it took about 20 minutes.

Play Bingo.

Have students draw a form of transportation out of a hat/box/whatever.
T: “Did you go there by train?”
S: “No, I went there by bus.”

Whatever form of transportation the student says, the rest of the students must mark that square on their bingo card. Whoever gets two llines, wins a prize.

The bingo cards wouldn't attach but you can make your own on one of those free bingo card making websites.
