Grade 2, Lesson 8: Do Elephants Ever Forget?

I don't have to use the book, so I've turned this into a fun lesson for the kids revolving around opinions, surprising facts and a short debate at the end with topics my co-teacher thought would bring out participation with students. I've only used it with one of my most poorly behaved classes, but it went over with relative success... meaning it will be a hit with other classes. (Take what you can get, right?)

I also have a trivia game that I took verbatim from another user (Thanks, Landry -- http://waygook.org/index.php/topic,2435.msg10203.html#msg10203). Just as a back up to fill any leftover time at the end.

Edit: I updated the PowerPoint after using it in a few classes. I now have the kids debate all topics and took out the topics that weren't getting as much feedback from students. They were pretty heated over the first four. I also edited the G20 trivia game because it was too difficult for middle school students. The $400 vocabulary section is still very difficult, so I warn them of that in advance. They try, but quickly realize it's over their heads.

Finals are coming up pretty soon. This is for Grade 2, a Lesson 7 and 8 Review via Girls Generation bomb game. It includes photos, music, and point changing surprises. All material are straight from the book. Feel free to add, subtract, and edit anything you wish. Also a MS Office 2003 version is available.

Is this the series of books written by Thomas E. Webster?

This is beautiful! I'm not at school for the next week so will miss the review lesson but I'll be adapting it for future use. Watch out for it bouncing back here with different questions.

I've reverted back to PPTs the last couple of weeks because it's the beginning of term and the kids aren't as hyperactive, I need to take advantage. So, I only teach speaking and i do 2 of the activities a week and sometimes include funtime if I think it's worth it.

I thought I'd upload my PPTs just for ideas.. I don't think they good enough for you just to use on their own. And some are more personal.. you can change. These are grade 1 lesson 8/9, grade 2 lesson 8/9 and grade 3 lesson 7/8.

Grade 2 Lesson 7 - Gossip
Grade 3 was borrowed from a fellow waygook - thanks - and slightly altered- Lending and borrowing/ can you do me a favor?
Grade 1 on the phone - taking and leaving messages.
Grade 2 Who would win in a fight - i think a ninja is better than a sumo.
Grade 1 - lesson 9 - excuse me/you know what?
Grade 3 I disagree topics

and luckily for us grade 3 stuff comes up in grade 2 for the next lesson and we can reuse old stuff. :)

Could you possibly post these in a ppt format? I don't have the newer version and I would love to check these out!! Thanks!

Thanks! I've also attached an additional PPT for MS Office 2003 users. I'm also working on an alien vs robots bomb game review for 1st year L7- half of L9 to be released tomorrow.

Hi DevilMogun!

Thanks a lot for the uploads. For the Grade 3 Lesson 8 powerpoint, I was unable to open the starcraft game at the end. Do you or anyone else know what I am doing wrong? I am using powerpoint 2003 if that matters. Thanks in advance!

I think it may be the 2003 powerpoint that's the problem. It's a pretty complicated ppt by Daejon. Beyond that, I'm not sure, sorry.

I will probably send this as a PM to Daejeon, but I'm having some trouble shooting issues with the Starcraft ppt. It opens fine on my office computer it also opens fine on the class computers until you get up to the part where the students choose a letter. Clicking on the letter doesn't do anything. The letter disappears but the next slide doesn't show up.

I've tried using PPT Viewer 2007 and 2010 but it works fine on my office PC version of PPT. Weird. Any thoughts? Or Daejeon if he is reading this.

Cheers a lot, because it is awesome.

The PPT seems to be working fine for me (aside from the font not having been embedded after it was modified).

The only reason I can think of as to why it is not linking for you is, that you modified something or saved in PowerPoint 2010. PowerPoint 2010 is coded a little differently and Microsoft hasn't yet released a patch for the issues.

I suggest you re-download the file DevilMogun posted.

To the other person saying "I can't open the Starcraft game at the end." I assume you mean at the end of the vocabulary practice PowerPoint which has a link to on the last slide. It isn't opening because you haven't downloaded it or it isn't hyperlinked to the right directory where you stored it.

Grade 2 Lesson 9A - Favours

I've taken one of the Bomb Game templates and many of the favours lessons that I found on Waygook, and have adjusted them to make it into a game related to favours. There is an introductory Powerpoint covering the listening & speaking sections, and then the 2nd half of the lesson is the favours game.

Quick rundown of the game:
Split the class into 2 teams. 1 person from each team comes to the front and they must play Rock Paper Scissors. The winner can choose the category, they are person A. The students must figure out what the favour being asked is, by the picture. Then person B can choose to do the favour and win points for their team, or they can pass. If they pass, person A can opt to do it, or again pass. Whoever does the favour wins the points for their team.

Haven't actually taught it yet, so not sure how it will work, but I think it should go well!

This is for Grade 1 Lesson 7&8 with Listening and Speaking Lesson 9. It is a Robot vs. Aliens Bomb game. The game includes material straight from the book with Transformers theatrical sounds and moving graphics to keep students entertained. Also credit to the creator RUFUS who's name is located somewhere on the PPT. Feel free to add, subtract, change and edit anything you wish. Click one of the links below they contain both MSOffice .ppt03' and .pptx07' files which were too large to upload to waygook and also rapidshare,4shared, and megaupload have been recently blocked at my school.

*Note Slides 15, 17, 23 or planets 1 X.3, 1 N.7, and 1 L.6 will automatically move you to level 2.

Hi! Sorry it's been so long. Here is my Grade 1 Lesson 7A Speaking Lesson.

Attached is the Lesson Plan, PPT, and worksheets. The game at the end of the lesson is my version of a speaking relay race. Instead of using desk tables for the waiters, I ended up just having them stand at the front and back of the rooms, in front or behind their groups...several desks back. So basically: each group chooses 1 person to be the waiter. I give them a menu and a waiter dialogue. Each student in their group will have a customer dialogue. The waiters will take their places in the room. Then, one by one, every student will go to their waiter, complete the dialogue, sit down and put their head down. The first group to have everyone sitting down (including the waiter), with their heads down, and their mouths closed..is the winner. To monitor actual conversations are going on - I choose one line to monitor and my co-t takes the other. I've done this with most of my Grade 1 classes and they've enjoyed it. Enjoy!

Let me know if you have any issues, etc...

This is my lesson for for Grade 1 Lesson 9: I need some advice. Also included is a Mario game which I found the template for on my work computer so many thanks go to the creator. Feel free to use, copy or edit any of it. Like always, any feedback would be greatly appreciated!!

Quick question: Could any one give me advice on how to cram 2 lessons into a 45 min class!! For my grade 2 classes next week, I have to go over Lesson 8 and Lesson 9 in the one class, as they must be finished both lessons before they have tests at the start of October. The same applies to Grade 3 the following week. Any suggestions welcome...

Could you please post these in a ppt format? I don't have the newer version and I would love to check them out! Thanks so much!

Hey guys. Could anyone recommend any good classroom activities I could do with my classes. Since starting a few weeks ago, I have been using the ppt which have been uploaded here, at the end of my classes when I have time, but my co-teacher said to me today that they are becoming a bit repetitive and it is only ever the same students who answer the questions, so they want to change it a bit.
They have suggested bingo and snakes and ladders, but I really think there must be better activities I could use which they might be more responsive. Any suggestions are welcome..

And one more thing. Does anyone use a reward system to try and get students more involved? If so how do you do it and what kind of prizes? I need to do something because it is only ever the same 20%- 30% students who will answer me....

Cheers

dapto1 · « **Reply #434 on:** September 22, 2011, 12:29:21 PM »

Enders,regarding the reward system: I give an ink stamp to students who do well or try hard, e.g. get something difficult right or try to answer questions a lot, and for winning a game. When the students get 5 stamps they get a lollipop. It seems to motivate them quite well, but obviously there are some who still don't make an effort. I find this method good because you're not actually giving out candy all the time, especially if you only have the class once a week!

Jimjam · « **Reply #435 on:** September 22, 2011, 12:41:34 PM »

Hi,

There's always gonna be some students who don't want to participate, but if you try to vary the activities as much as possible that helps, try group / pair speaking activities like surveys, human bingo, find someone who, drawing/running dictations, charades, etc there's tons of ideas on this website.

In terms of rewards stickers r good and do motivate them, or points for the table if they do well/give an answer (minus if they don't) I find this motivates them too. then give the winners stickers at the end.

hope that helps.

Thanks to Enders for the ppt on Grade 1 Lesson 9 I Need Some Advice. I added in some stuff and made a few changes that worked for me. I didn't use the dialogue about going to Ireland (even though I'm Irish), but I left it in anyway so there is extra.

Thanks again!

Enders · « **Reply #437 on:** September 23, 2011, 08:38:33 AM »

Thanks for responses.

Ya, the point/sticker system seems to be the best way to motivate them. My ct wants me to do for each table as opposed to doing for individual students , that way they may be more inclined to work a bit harder. I also plan to take away points if they are not answering questions or falling asleep in class!

I have one more question though. Can anyone suggest a way to keep track of each tables score. For most classes I only see them once every 2 weeks. My ct suggested printing out some paper with the tables numbered and adding points when the table does good in class. But I was hoping I might be able to find some sort of scoreboard on line, or create one. I can make one in powerpoint but the problem is that the score is not saved.

Has anyone come up with a good way of keeping track of students score, beside using paper?

Thanks

Just wondering how the game went for you? I taught it was very well planned out, but I just tried it there, and got looks like I had 2 heads. Very hard to get them to come up to the front of class even to do the rock, paper,scissors, never mind the favors. Hope you had much better luck. I will def be trying to implement it into another class some where because I think it is a great game to get them going!!

It has been amazing so far. I've taught 4 lessons with it so far and it's been one the best lessons as far as getting the kids involved and excited. I've had girls who are low level belt out the ABCs, kids screaming the national anthem, a boy wanting to hug a girl but she ran away screaming and had 2 boys doing a sexy dance!

The rules and explanation slide kind of stifle the excitement as it is hard to explain - so I just skip it. Instead I split the class in 2 and then choose 2 students from each team and have a walk through of the rules, rather than explaining the rules at the start and them not understanding.

I also found it was a good idea to start each team with 5 points, otherwise if they get a Bomb/Dynamite/Steal in the first round it doesn't have any affect and is boring. It is also best to have a defined order the students will go (i.e. in the order of their desks) otherwise if you ask who wants to go next, nobody will put their hand up. And I just get them to stand where they are seated, rather than come up the front - slightly less embarrasment for some reason. Also throw in the line 'Do it for your team' and encourage the teams to cheer them on!
