Maybe this should be its own thread (or maybe it already is) but I've been looking for songs to use for the "sounds" section in each chapter. I plan to play the song in class and hand out the lyrics. The kids would then listen to the song and circle/underline examples of the sounds I'm teaching, perhaps with a prize for the student who finds the most examples of the sounds. As of now I have "With a Little Help from My Friends" (Beatles) for the "L" sound/silent "L" box on pg. 13 of the grade 2 book, as well as "Walk the Line" (Johnny Cash) for the "i" sound on pg. 27 of the grade 1 book. I'll continue searching and posting good songs and if you think this is a good idea I hope you'll respond with other songs. Thanks!
I'm attaching two lessons. Grade three lesson 1 "the best gift for my son". It's a summary of the key phrases followed by a written activity where they make up a story with the help of the phrases using a blank cartoon strip. I haven't taught this lesson yet so not sure if will be a success. I'm thinking to spend 25 minutes on this activity and then move onto the beloved bomb game.My lesson for grade two's is an adaptation of a game I found in this forum. "Advice game". Coupled with a worksheet so far it has been a huge success. So thank you to the original poster :) I always make my worksheets in powerpoint and print them off separately. This is usually the last slide on the presentation.
For Grade 1, I used Big Town Cards which can be downloaded from this site:http://www.mes-english.com/games/bigtown.php
Anyone else having trouble with the Angry Birds ppt that was posted here a while back?I don't know how to fix the setting at school since everything is in Korean. When I try to use the ppt, the red X and green check don't show up.
I've had some trouble with the angry birds ppt as well, but if you follow the directions in the beginning of the ppt it should work on most computers. Make sure to have the macros enabled in microsoft powerpoint.
