Cryptogram puzzle and activity (adjust the number of cards to your class size, my biggest group is about 40 students)

A few cartoons I made using http://www.bitstripsforschools.com for period 5 page 148.
I'm going to put each cartoon on the screen and students will create dialog to go with it.

I really like the chase the vocab game but I am a little confused on how to add new slides. Has anybody else added new slides? Any help would be great.

it's really hard to add new slides especially if you just copy & paste from what's originally there.  if you need to,you could find the template and work off that otherwise you'd have to copy & paste while keeping the formatting and then you'd have to go through the trouble of changing all the pictures which in order to do so you'd have to send the background to the very back in order to replace the pictures that are already there. i changed it but it took me forever but if someone knows a faster way please share

My students usually like the sleeping elephants game, give it a try. It is good for writing, reading and team work.

 G6 L10 P2 - Because We Should Save the Earth - Pics for the game.

This is a practice PPT I put together with the pictures from the book.


My students find it difficult to remember the sentences by heart, so:
1) Listen and repeat each sentence 2 times.
2) It the students turn to do it alone.  See if they can remember.
3) Do the opposite 'because' half of the dialog.  and the students will guess the  'You should' other half.
4) Go through each 'You should, why, becuase match' but have the students guess the answer after why

Hi!  I had a Save the Earth poster contest for the last two classes of this lesson

For the first session I used the attached worksheet as a brainstorming activity.  I explained that we would be making posters and showed them examples on the attached ppt.  Then I had the students tell me what "words" they could use on their posters and then what "sentences" they could use.  I had them write it all down and glue the paper in their books.

The next class I divided the class into 9 groups of 3 and gave them a poster paper and scratch paper.  I asked each group to decide what theme they would use on their posters: make a sketch and write down in English what you put on the poster.  Then I checked to make sure grammar was correct and let them start on their poster.  I made the posters due in the next week so that they could work on them in their homerooms.

The kids turned in really great and creative posters and now we have them up in our classroom :-)

Here is a fun pass the ball game. Someone else made the template, I just adapted it to this lesson. This game can be played with the ball thrown back and forth with all the students. For a more controlled atmosphere, you can also play it like "Hot Potato" where the students quickly pass it around to eachother.
