Review lesson plan and game for Lessons 1 and 2, grade 3.

The lesson is divided in three parts --

Part 1:  Group questions.  Divide the students into 5 or 6 groups.  Students come to the front of the class as a group.  Students pick a question out of a bag.  All students must answer it.

Part 2:  Group dialogues.  In groups, students must create a dialogue at least six lines long including at least two vocabulary terms/phrases.  At least 2 students must perform the dialogue for the class. 

Part 3:  Review jeopardy using my Simpsons jeopardy template.

Mid-term review!  Woo hoo!

Here is a review for Grade 3, Lessons 1, 2, and 3.  The presentation starts with a review of two vocabulary terms followed by a fill-in-the-blank or question for each term (for 15 terms).  It is followed by multiple-choice, open answer, etc.  At the end is an Annoying Orange ppt game.

I found I was able to get through the first part and that's about it, but maybe your classes will go a bit faster than mine.

3rd grade Stand & Sit review, Lessons 1-5

This is a review game ("game" is used loosely here) for third grade, with a few questions from each of the first five chapters.

Have all students stand up.  Turn on the powerpoint.  Students volunteer to answer the question shown on the screen.  When a student answers successfully, click once to reveal their "reward."  Students can (a) sit down alone, (b) sit down with one student of their choice, (c) sit down with a row of their choice, (d)  sit down alone and choose two students to stand up, and (e) sit down a lone and choose a row to stand up.  The very last slide allows all students to sit down.

There are 20 questions in total.  Not only does this usually require some of the more quiet students to talk, it also gets the rest of the class motivated.  If your students are anything like mine the idea of standing is basically torture.  This will not last a full class period, but would be a good add-on at the end due to its continuous nature and lack of points.  Plus it's fun to hear the students argue over who should sit down.

jungl3tt3, for my third grade speaking test I did the following; I asked them to go home and to write a problem. The problem had to include some target language from the text book and some other words, just because they would help the students to form a problem. I told them to memorise the problem for their test. They took their test in pairs, one would tell us his/her problem and one would respond/give some advice, using some appropriate target language.

I liked the idea of asking them to respond to a problem, I thought it showed more than their ability to memorise.

If you do something like  this, I would advise you to decide how you are going to mark in advance. Giving a general impression mark does not work at all for me, it is just too subjective and difficult to explain to students and teachers. I ended up subtracting marks everytime they left out target language, paused for too long, read their page, couldn't come up with an answer or didn't arrive with a problem.

Hope this helps you

After a long haul of downloading it is finally time to upload.  Here is chapter 1-5 review from the textbooks

Bomb game.  So have teams of 3 ideally.  Each team has a white board, maker and eraser.  If you don't have whiteboard, make them with a laminated piece of paper and us a tissue as an eraser.  Have at least one textbook per team.  Students take turns choosing a question (each question is from chapters 1-5 and is labelled).  The teams must then find the answer in their text books and write it down, then stick it in the air.  First team with the correct answer gets the points.  Worked amazingly.  Even with my problem classes.  Makes every kid participate and study the book without realizing they are spending 45 minutes reading their text books.

I went through and made a cheat sheet with the answers and wrote them down with the pg number but it isn't a comp file. I suggest doing this before you use it, takes 10 mins.


Same as above but grade 3

Low level review using the incredible Avengers bomb game template focusing mainly on Lesson 3 speaking activities but covers some of Lessons 1 and 2.

This is an original bomb game to review the first 3 lessons. Took the 'baam' concept from someone else's 'baam finish it' game so thank you to whoever that was - it makes the students go crazy! There are some instructions in the comments boxes within the ppt.
