dsob, thank you for that very helpful post. I know once I get into it it'll be absolutely fine, but it all seems a little daunting at first!

I did introduction lessons yesterday, and will be for the rest of the week. Starting on the book proper next week. I'll be sure to start uploading once I've got some decent ppts.

Does anyone else feel like there's no possible way to finish the book with third graders? Mine have 7 weeks before finals and were only tested through chapter 5 last semester. Only doing one chapter a week seems like a terrible way to teach.

I've never finished the book with the 3rd Grade yet. Every year it's the same - as the finals approach my lessons are cut more and more from their timetable. As they won't be having a spoken English test the speaking lessons slip down the scale of importance and they cram instead with their Korean English teacher to prepare for the written tests. It's always seems a little sad that the class kind of fades away rather than having that final goodbye lesson.

This is for Grade 1 Lesson 7 this is a minesweeper game that I found for Grade 2 Lesson 4 before summer. Thank you and credit to the username who escapes me. I basically just changed the questions on the left to fit what we're learning in Lesson 7.

Good game, I'll be using it for a review. What responses were you after for the "Is that all?" questions? Did you look for the negative, eg. No, Orange Juice, Please. Or did you just accept "Orange Juice please"??

does anyone have any ideas for fun activities / games related to Grade 3 Lesson 7, - do you mind if / feel free to... I'm struggling to think of anything!!

Thanks.

Hi to all and welcome to the newbies!
I am supposed to teach the fun time section of the text, or just make games about the key expressions/points of the lesson. It is fine but the fun time activities in the text are pretty lame so I never use them or I just end up taking the general idea of the game and make my own (with lots of help from fellow posters:) thanks). I also use the speaking sections and function file in my lessons.
I am impressed with some of you and how fast you get through each lesson! My students are mostly very, very low level (3 classes are considered advanced), and we are lucky if we get through one lesson every 3 weeks, sometimes it's longer. In 4 months of teaching I have made it from lesson 2 and we are starting 6 next week! Sometimes it gets difficult thinking of 4/5 ways to teach the key expressions!
My co-teachers rarely ask for what I have planned for the lessons, and have never asked me for lesson plans. I am pretty free in what I choose to teach and how, so if you are in the same boat, you are not alone!

I would like to thank everyone for all their effort in contributing lesson ideas, ppt.'s and activities, it has really been a life saver for all of us I am sure.
Thank you.

I just started teaching these books this week and would love to share lesson plans! Do you guys post your plans on this forum or is there another one? Also, do you guys use the cd a lot? I'm trying to mix it up as I find the cd a little boring.

bhogj · « **Reply #368 on:** September 01, 2011, 10:20:50 AM »

If you have to use the CD (I only have to with grade 3), definitely start off with a powerpoint or opening lesson on the vocabulary before you send them into snooze land with the CD. I try to make the lead-in PPs as fun and interesting as possible. Iantrich and I often make our own videos with the same dialogue. If you can find someone to do that with, the kids love seeing you being a fool. Apparently Ian makes fun of me with his kids, which somehow gets them excited to learn English.

My main coteacher has told me that they want me to cover each lesson in one class, so we do a lesson a week. Does this seem a bit tight to anyone else? I have nine 1st grade classes and eight 3rd grade classes a week, I only see each once. In theory this is pretty good as I'll only have to do two lesson plans a week for my regular classes (the rest of my hours are after school classes), but in practice I can see the lessons being too condensed if we need to cover one lesson a week!

Jimjam · « **Reply #370 on:** September 01, 2011, 12:53:43 PM »

hi,

Yes that seems very tight, I spend 2-3 weeks on 1 lesson, this gives me plenty of time to do extra games / activities to practice the language, I'd say you need at least 2 weeks, not just to cover everything but to give students a chance to practice and understand the language. Also it means your lessons will be really book-orientated. I would ask your co-t if you can split one lesson over 2 weeks so you can incorporate more activities.

Since I am a newbie, and it seems to be hard to get specific details how they (the co-teachers) want to have the material presented, are you sticking to the CD-rom or or coming up with new material based on the theme of the speaking section of the book?

Enders · « **Reply #372 on:** September 01, 2011, 02:25:56 PM »

Hi guys. Just started in new school today and just found out I will also be using these books. They is so much useful material on these books, before I start using any, I would like to thank all for the contributions. Hopefully I will post some of my own in the near future. Any tips or information for a new public school teacher welcome. Was teaching in a hagwon before this, so it is all new to me...

Ryan Nieman · « **Reply #373 on:** September 01, 2011, 02:56:04 PM »

I just spent an hour searching for a specific lesson plan from Ji Hak Sa. I still can't seem to be able to find one. The search field claims to need at least 3 letters in a word and does not accept a number. I read many guidelines. Any tips for finding specific lessons? Please help.

Gomdori · « **Reply #374 on:** September 01, 2011, 02:58:10 PM »

I am also looking for some help on Grade 3 Lesson 7! I am struggling here! Are there any middle school JI HAK SA teachers who want to collaborate on lessons to lighten our workload? I was thinking maybe 2 or 3 people and rotate weekly preparing the lessons or something like that. If you are interested send me a message!

Of course this only applies if we are on the same lessons. I believe I am to do one lesson per week and am on lesson 7 next week.

Cheers!

For Grade 1, Lesson 8 (Useful But Noisy) speaking section, which is all about what to say when making a phone call, I humbly suggest everyone show this funny video at the beginning or end of class.

I'm not even British, btw!

Grade 3 - Lesson 6 - Day by Day

Stole a lot from the travel the world topic.

I'm not working from the book so have gone off topic but maybe someone will find it useful. Careful with the bomb game as I had to fix some hyperlinks after I deleted some slides from the one I stole it from :)

Thank you dsob. I wasn't looking for a proper response really. All they answered was the "name of the food please. In one class the coteacher requested students to answer with the favorite food part, "My favorite food is..." but other than that we kept it simple to the food name followed by please. Again feel free to change, edit, and modify to your needs necessary.
