David, the behaviors slide is from the Whole Brain Teaching philosophy, which tries to get the students learning in many different ways. I can explain them to you if you want in person, but I don't want to type that all out. Check out wholebrainteaching.com for more info.

GRADE 2 Outcomes

Hi all
I dont know if you are told this but i was not so i thought i would post this.

On the first page of each Lesson (ie the title page) there is a little box in the Right corner and the Korean words are the Outcomes/Aims.
So i have asked my co-teacher to explain them. I have the first 5 lessons

Lesson 1 -Yujin for class president
Greeting: Long time no see.
How are you:how have you been?
Suggestion: Why don't you run for president

Lesson 2- Our Family Veg Garden
Ensuring Interest- I'm interested in . . . .
Express Ability: i am pretty good at that
Investigate and Report: I've never seen such a small beetle.

Lesson 3 -TRY YOGA
Finding out why there is a Problem: Whats up?
Advice and Order: You should see a doctor?
Anticipation: I'm looking forward to it?

Lesson 4- BIBIMBAP
Answers for suggestions: I'd love to but. . .
Ordering Food: I 'd like bibmibap
Askind Suggesting food: Would you like?

Lesson 5 -PRICELESS TOYS
Asking the possibility: Do you know how too?
Express Decision: I've decided to donate. . . .
Express Certainty: I'm sure that they . . . . .

I will get Grade 3 (Sorry Grade 1 i do not Teach) Later today !!!

Also When you know what level Students you have at the beginning of the Text book there are 3 stages in the right hand corner for example Grade 2 Page 9 text book it has a mini green arrow saying activities translated it says Low Pg 10, Mid Pg 14, High Pg 17. This refers to the excersises in the Activity book.

I will post more when i get it unless you all already knew that??? Let me know ! Sorry if you did !!!

I did not know any of that Hayley so cheers for the guidance.

I have redone the hobbies powerpoint (grade 2 - lesson 2) slightly mainly getting rid of a lot of clicking... I'm not a fan of the excessive clicking - it just means I'm constantly bent over my desk pressing a button instead of facing the class... So yeah, I'll upload it but its pretty much identical to the previous one. I haven't changed the word doc. Great upload though and will be using - thanks a bunch!

Grade 2, Lesson 2

You may find the "English Tasks" sheet useful as "penalties" for losing losing/getting out in games. They were just what I could think of so please add your own "English Tasks" and repost!

I also have this book, but I came to Korea in August so all of my lesson plans and materials cover Listening and Speaking for Chapter 7 (1st and 2nd grade) onward. I'll definitely post those once I can get them organized! In the meantime, thanks for everyone's posts!

Hi all,

Hope everyone's first week of lessons is going well! Below are some of my contributions. Some PPTs and worksheets have been taken from the thread and reworked to suit the needs of my classes. Also, I am in the same boat as other teachers - I too am teaching from the book. Excuse the somewhat dull activities. Thank you SO much for sharing your work! There are some amazing teachers in the middle schools!

Grade 1 - Lesson 1: My Special Friend
Grade 2 - Lesson 1: Yujin for Class President
Grade 3 - Lesson 1: The Best Gift for My Son

Who here likes the bomb game?

I teach out in the boonies, so these games are pretty simple.

(just a courtesy reminder, if you're going to upload MS Office stuff to share, please do so in the 2003 format. most people can't open docx and pptx from their schools.)

Thanks so much for your earlier post of "the Bomb Game" for Grades 1-3 . . . I played around with it, and made an additional fill-in-the-blank version for Grade 3s . . . I find my grade 3 students don't care to learn, so I'm gonna give the bomb game a shot (because I heard they only care about the textbook . . . I'm tired of teaching lethargic, unresponsive students . . . maybe this'll help).

Note: I altered the DYNAMITE option to make a team loose half of their points . . . I think that'd be enough to annoy them, but not totally discourage them . . . it might be fun to do with 3 teams . . . and they could choose who to hit with dynamite.

Hot off the press: Grade 1, Lesson 3 - What a Surprise!

Please excuse the awkward birthday pic...

Here's a MAD LIB I created for the Grade 3, Lesson 1 story, "The Best Gift for My Son"

The students learn and memorize this . . . so I figure it'd be fun to let them get creative and play a game with it. (I tried my best to make it into an easy Mad Lib . . . already did a Mad Lib lesson with them, so they understand how it works).

--- NOTE: if your students don't know Mad Libs, you might need to give them an intro lesson to the game ---

Thanks everyone for your ideas and effort. I have a Grade 1 Lesson 2 done but I have yet to write up a lesson plan and tweak the ppt properly and I'm thinking that by the time that's done it will be too late to be of use to anyone else.

Some of you seem to be getting through lessons at quite a rate. Haven't we all been told that we should finish chapter 6 by summer break? By my reckoning, give or take cancelled lessons and public holidays, that means 3 or 4 lessons per chapter. Consequently I'm still looking for new angles on 'Hello my name is... nice to meet you'. ::)

The MAD LIB stuff looks great though I'm not sure what it's about. I'm sure somewhere on Waygooks there's an answer to that.

dsob · « **Reply #51 on:** March 11, 2011, 09:10:36 AM »

I've been told to do 2 lessons for each chapter. I think chapter 3 needs to be completed for midterms, which for me start on the 20th April. As this rate, I will only just finish in time. One of my coteachers is very helpful but a tad controlling meaning I have to do every activity in the books for my parts (speaking and listening). Also, upload your lesson plans - it might be helpful to someone in the future and I might steal a worksheet or something :D

Wow, this prezi stuff is pretty cool. For 2nd grade, chapter 1, I made this prezi in just under an hour.

Thank you i feel like i have not given anything to this POST YET
EVERYONE I WILL MAKE THIS UP TO YOU WHEN I UNDERSTAND IT !!

Thank you xx

iantrich · « **Reply #56 on:** March 11, 2011, 01:17:00 PM »

Word to the wise, beware of Prezi. Don't get me wrong, I love Prezi, but you need to be cover. If at all possible, avoid using the rotation feature. It feels awesome to do when you're designing it, but do your students a favor and don't. You'll have kids getting sick in all your classes if it goes too fast.

Check out some of their help videos, specifically those on frames and layering, personally I love to use it as an outline feature, referring back to my outline as much as possible and zooming in for the details. It can zoom in a crazy amount.

Take my word for what it is, I'm a new user as well, but after reviewing my past Prezis at a high speed more than once, I felt quite sick.

I taught Grade 2 lesson 1 this week to advanced classes only (and they are not really that advanced) and they could write what they did during winter break in short sentences, but many students didn't bother to do the work, as to be expected I guess.

Next week I will have to teach the same lesson to my intermediate and basic classes. I'm frantically trying to adapt my lesson plan. It needs a total overhaul.

DevilMogun · « **Reply #58 on:** March 11, 2011, 02:59:40 PM »

Taya

This is my Grade 2 Lesson 1 lesson. Actually I cheated and used it for Grade 3 too.

It worked with my horrible Grade 2 who arrived fully evil in Grade 1 and don't seem to have matured during the break. It also worked with my Grade 3 who have been adorable and willing but hard to get speaking since Grade 1.

I haven't had time to write out a lesson plan so I'll describe anything that isn't obvious from the ppt - and thanks to all the others that I've scavenged bits from too.

Here goes - Ask the class if anyone did anything interesting during break (doesn't matter if just one or two or none volunteer an answer.)

Tell them that by the end of the lesson they WILL all be able to tell you about their winter break.
Remind them that if they are talking about the past, they have to use past tense. Elicit the past tense of the verbs on the slide. Get them all to shout it out.
Tell them that first you will tell them about YOUR vacation (probably need to change a few pictures here).
Now show them the conversation and remind them that they WILL be able to have this conversation by the end of the lesson. Demonstrate it with an able student or a co-teacher. Speak fairly quickly and naturally.
Show them the first (simple part) of the conversation and get them to chant it.

Tell them that they now have to prepare 5 things they did over the vacation. I printed a simple A5 sheet with a grid and prompts; either 'did you go anywhere special?' and a space or, for lower ability 'I went to.....''
Give them 5 minutes (timer on screen) to complete.

Now tell them that they are to come to the front in pairs and read out their conversation, adding 3 things from their lists. The fastest conversation will win a prize (stickers, sweets, points, whatver works for you)

Set a timer (I use Cool Timer - free download) and time the conversation.
Get the first volunteers up to the front and write down the score time when they are done.

The next volunteers should be more willing to come forward to beat the time.

The rest of the class will finish their table of 'what I did during vacation' just in case the find the courage to get up there and compete :)

Carry on till the end of the lesson - I find somewhere between 10 and 15 minutes is enough before it gets old.

Hope it's of some use.

I have lessons for first grade (Grade 1), Lessons 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 from my first semester. My students are pretty low level, so all lessons follow the same format as I tried to get them used to the routine and therefore less afraid to practice speaking. I use pictures a lot as well and the students have to identify them and then use them in the fill-in-the-blank dialogues they copy down from the powerpoint.

Lesson 11_review+planets is an altered ppt I took from another user on waygook. I forgot who it was, so I can't credit like I should. I essentially added more pictures for greater clarification.

Lesson 10_11_planets game is a bomb game using material from my 10, 11, and the planets lesson.

A good game to play after lesson 7 is the preposition heart, bomb game, since 7 covers "in, on, under". I'm including an attachment for convenience's sake, but this awesome game was not my creation! Lesson 7 was my first class without a teacher, so there's a picture of a cashier for you show back-and-forth. Then there's a fake menu for students to pick items off to practice the dialogue with. Last, a fill in the gaps of a paragraph using key words and phrases from the lesson.

Lesson 8 is cell phone conversation, using dialogue from the text. Then I showed comics of what situations in which you shouldn't use a cell phone.

Lesson 9 is giving advice and a bit on key polite phrases after.

Lesson 10 is self explanatory in the ppt.

Lesson 11, practice dialogue after watching bits of music videos. I have lots pictures of K-pop groups after the main lesson for further practice. You can choose to show bits of their popular music vids or not. The kids or you Co-T will be able to ID them.

Lesson 12 is self explanatory in the ppt.

Also, I was still learning how to use powerpoint, so some of these will be a bit makeshift and ugly. :D Lessons 10, 11, and 12 are the prettiest.
