My review ppt games for grades 1 and 2, chapters 1, 2, and 3.

Both games are ones I found and just changed the questions to suit. I claim no credit beyond that.

Grade 1 has 27 questions.

Grade 2 has 30 questions and none of my classes ever got through all of them.

Thanks for this - I'd run out of steam thinking of revision games and questions.

I have updated the wiki page to include all of my lessons 1-3 and review lesson for 1st and 2nd grade. (http://dongincheonmiddleschoolenglish.wikispaces.com/ )  I think during my midterm period I am going to try and develop the lessons for chapters 4-6.  Based on my schedule I plan on spending 2 weeks on each lesson (usually the book has two target phrases a chapter).  If I am able to get it done I will repost letting you know and to check out the page.  If there are any questions let me know.

Grade 2 - Lesson 4 - Bibimbap

It carries on from the previous lesson on world foods. I stole all the food adjectives from here (http://waygook.org/index.php/topic,7300.0.html)

Not that much fun or jokes in this lesson but emphasises the target language and phrases. Please improve and repost :)

I also have made a game where the kids basically go around and survey asking everyone what main and what dessert they would like from the World Foods class. See attachment

For people who have been using barryfunenglish.com, I'd love some tech advice. I think I'm missing something...Is there an option to upload your own vocabulary and sentences, or do you HAVE to choose from the lists they've provided? Even on the "Custom Lists" section, it only allows me to pick and choose from the categories they offer. I want to put in the Key Expressions, but it won't let me!

I know most of you have probably already finished this lesson but because I see my Grades 3s every other week, I'll be teaching Part B to Lesson 3 this week & next.

Anyways, attached is the PPT I'll be using along with a fun introductions game.  Students will get into pairs.  One person will choose a card.  He/she will read the card to their partner.  The partner will guess who the person is.  Then, both will write their introduction dialog.  Then, pairs will read their dialogues to the class - omitting the name of the person being introduced.  The class will guess the person.  I tried to use family/creative/popular people to make it funny - especially if a boy picked a girl and vice versa.

Hope it helps someone or is a good lesson to store away for later!

Grade 3 - Lesson 4 - Two Anecdotes

My best lesson so far I think. I also did this entirely on my own without stealing anything.
So please, improve, change and repost :D

Clare - have you subscribed to Barryfunenglish?  You have to subscribe to use all of the topics and make your own custom lists.  Even then, for some of the games (like The Wheel, I think) you have to use the standard topics.  Others, where sound is an integral part of the game, don't work as well if you've uploaded your own pictures.

Unfortunately my afterschool class are pretty much addicted to Barryfun now and don't want to do anything else.  ::)

Did the PPT unload? I can't see it  :-\

Hello Hoodslang

I have an open class coming up sometime too - my third!  My first went well though everything was a surprise.  My last one was a disaster with the woman from the POE giving me a really really hard time.  Still, I've lived and learned and shall face the next one prepared  ::)

I looked at your powerpoint and it's pretty good.  I'll be stealing your three little 'listen, read and speak' dogs.  They are great.  I'll probably be doing something very similar for that lesson too.

A few of the slides are a little 'busy'.  It's not really an issue, but I think about me learning Korean when I plan lessons.  As I'm the most stupid, slowest language learner on earth I think about what it takes ME to remember anything and then be brave enough to speak it.  Rule number one is minimal information at any one time.  Only what I have to learn should be presented to me at the point when I need to learn it.  So, you want to teach me sweater, show me a sweater and nothing else.  Rule number two is make sure you've taught me the right words before you ask me to use them.  You want me to answer 'what is she wearing' then make sure you've taught me at least a few of the words for the clothing she's wearing. Preferably provide me with a prompt of some kind - a handout I've filled in, the start of the sentence on the board - anything to reassure me that what I'm about to say is the right sentence.

Rule number 3 is MAKE me speak.  I'm going to hang out at the back of the class otherwise, letting all those show-offs answer all the questions.  I really want to speak, but I don't want to be humiliated nor do I want to be ignored. Let me practice quietly first.  Make me speak in a way that I feel comfortable about it and good about myself afterwards. 

It's not clear from your powerpoint how you are going to get students to speak.  First you have some pair work which is good if your class will speak to each other in pairs when you ask (mine wouldn't), but how will you get them to speak to the whole class, giving enough people a chance to demonstrate their newly learned language?  This is where games are useful, getting students caught up enough in the action to shout out those phrases without self-consciousness.  I think the most effective method I've used is a round-robin thing where A asks B a question, B answers and asks C a questions, C answers and so on - groups of 6 or so - then get them to complete the circle against the clock.  Even the most timid have to speak so as not to let the group down and finish fastest.

Anyway, whoever is observing will be looking for clear lesson objectives (which are simple enough if you're working from the book - your objectives are for Ss to be able to use those sentences), keeping the Ss interested and demonstrating learning.   I've had totally different feedback about the optimum level of involvement of the co-teacher - first time it was THE most important thing, second time the POE barely spoke to or mentioned my co-teacher, so I can't help you on that one.

You'll be asked to complete a lesson plan and they expect ridiculous amounts of detail.  It's the Korean way I'm afraid.  Just do it and then forget it - it's horrible speaking from a script as you lose all spontaneity and connection with the class.

Anyway, I might just be waffling now.  Post a lesson plan if you want a review of that too.  Best of luck.

Just in case anyone else is still doing the 3rd lesson with their 1st graders...
Obviously using the workbook and doing some speaking exercises.
Definitely stole the second half of the powerpoint from here.  I apologize that I've forgotten who, but THANK YOU... the kids LOVE it.
