These are my uploads for Speaking and Speaking Activities A only. Speaking and Speaking Activities B will be a different lesson. I used a lot of content in the PowerPoints from teatoast. Thanks in advance, teatoast!

For the activity, I have "Cut-up Kabaldi". Divide the class into three groups. Each team will have 4 sentences taken from the dialogue on page 11. These sentences will be cut up and given to them in no order. As a class, read the dialogue with the corresponding 4 sentences "missing". Each team must fill in the missing sentence by finding the right words and arranging them into a correct sentence. Whichever team first finishes arranging the sentence correctly wins a point. The team with the most points at the end wins.

The word document will have sets of three sentences, one for each group.

If this is confusing, you can look at the PowerPoint where I explain it using visuals.

Hope this helps!

For the review class (class #4 after Introduction, Listening, and Speaking), I have made a review quiz (Notebook Quiz) and chosen Mad Libs as the  review game. (~20-25 min)

The review quiz is straight-forward: cut the handout in half, have students write their answer, then switch papers with another group and check in class. In my class, 8/10 or above will get a "personal star" or reward according to whatever system you use. When they've checked, have them keep it in their file or notebook as a reference for the test.

Now, the game requires some prep. You may not have the same number of groups as me, and your students may not know how to play. Don't worry, I have a PPT to explain.

Tips:
Very low level students will need help.
Walk around the room and ensure that each student is participating. If they aren't, give them a job (like looking up a word in the dictionary).
Make sure they have plenty of word examples before attempting it. Dictionaries can be hard to figure out (do you remember middle school?).
Ensure that they are using the right part of speech by testing it out on YOUR copy of the story before they stand up and read. This way they'll have more confidence. (Aka - if they write "see" instead of "seeing", give them a hint that they need -ing)

If some students refuse to work, assign them a number (their student number works for this) and tell them they are in charge of THAT number. Write it down for later so you can call on them specifically.

Execution:
Show PPT. Explain rules.
Give the first half of the handout. Let them complete before giving them the second half.
Set a time limit and use a timer to keep things flowing. Nothing like pressure to get kids to work.
Make a special prize for making you laugh the most. Candy is okay, but funny things are better. Go to a joke shop and buy something super cheap, or something small from Daiso that's "Funny". It'll go over very well!

Note: In my group 6's, the students are usually unmotivated and don't like to do work because it's furthest from the teacher's desk. That's why they have the most sentences. You can always restructure these to work for your class.

We made a video for the function file phrases for this chapter. It can be used in addition to, or in place of, the cheesy videos on the CD. It should be much more entertaining for the chil'ens. Hope it's useful!

(By the way, if youtube is blocked at your school, make sure you have the "s" after "http" and it should work fine.)

I've also attached the dialogue.
