Lesson 3 Grades 1, 2, and 3.

I'm only taking one class for the whole of lesson 3.

Thanks for those who posted the Lucky Wheel and Kaboom games. I adapted them for an additional last minute lesson Grade 3 revising Lesson 2 - What are friends for? and even with one of the 2 uncontrollable classes of boys it kept them occupied and interested at least, which is about as good as it gets.

I'll post them should anyone want to re-use them, but all credit goes to the original posters.

This is the first of two lessons for Grade 3 Chapter 3, which I'm doing next week. I focus on telephone conversation.

I use two activities from the book. The fill-in-the-blank answers in my powerpoint are for the 'advanced' version of the worksheet from the textbook. Listening activity A and Speaking activity B, since they deal with phone conversation. I then have a gap fill activity for partners. I will finish with the sentence auction game, but I have changed it to incorporate some dialogue as well, and have changed many sentences so they relate to phone conversation. Hopefully it can be useful to someone.

Thanks for the vocab, you saved my bacon.

Now for the next question...my school have asked me to write midterm questions on the first 3 chapters of these books, but I don't really know what kind of questions they mean. Can anyone give any examples please? First time teacher and all! :-)

Hi, they are normally multiple choice qs, i've attached some i questions I made for the grade 2 tests last yr, hope that helps.

Thank you Threefold and DevilMogun for your hard work. I Frankensteined your powerpoints into a goldenbell type game.
I start with part two of lesson three tomorrow so making it a review lesson. Each group needs a whiteboard and a marker to write their answers. Award points for right answers in round One which can then be converted to money for the sentence auction in round two.

No problem JazzRat. Please note though, that most of my lessons are a mix and match of other people's ppt slides, ideas, and some of my own. A lot of credit obviously goes to the original posters earlier on in this grandspankingly fantazmizzling thread.

Grade two chapter three lucky wheel and sentence auction

LockStock · « **Reply #731 on:** April 09, 2012, 02:48:57 PM »

Hey guys.
I was asked last week to extend my grade 3 for another week for mid terms so I planned a simple review lesson.
I was then told this morning that I should continue with the book and start lesson 3 (good old last minute change!)
So, here is the review I planned for this week. I did it today as I was unprepared to do lesson 3, and it went down well thanks to the previous post of the spin the wheel (edited for my class).
I shall be uploading my lesson 3 for grade 3 tomorrow morning, once it is complete.

Here is my basic review + spin the wheel

LockStock · « **Reply #732 on:** April 09, 2012, 02:58:01 PM »

Here is Grade 2 - Lesson 3 - Part 1

It's fairly straight forward. Focusing on the "What's up?" section of speaking.
I try to get the students more involved so there is a part they have to list some of their issues and then we discuss them as a class and give out advice. I did the class today and it went down alright. I think we spent too much time on the list making as we didn't get as far as I would've liked.
There is a picture on each slide of a dog in a yoga position which is there purely for fun. Then at the end of class there are large pics of the yoga dogs and a link on the last page to a girl doing some sick yoga moves. Again, didn't get up to that today but it's there anyway.

Also, I did my grade 1 lesson today (posted last week) and the girls really enjoyed the secret message thing at then end.

Anyway, have a look if you want.
Have a great week^^

Anyone else find these books painfully badly designed as actual esl books.

I'm basically just taking one or two key phrases from the chapter and building lessons from that, my co-teachers are all really happy with my lessons as they can sit back and relax, something which they were unable to do with the last teacher because apparently he was totally useless and didn't actually do any teaching.

My school is quite poor and all the students are at a really low level, most of them don't go extra classes so I'm the only exposure to English they get, I only see each class once every two weeks which is mental, on the plus side I only have a maximum of 15 students in a class.

Really impressed by some of the contributions to this thread, some excellent work there, I've been teaching for about ten years and amazingly this is the first time I've had a huge screen and power point!

Thanks everyone!

Anyone else use these versions of Ji Hak Sa? The covers all look the same...so I don't know why my lessons don't match up with the rest of yours. :X I'd love help with making games...lesson planning is np but I've been having trouble thinking of games.

robvandan · « **Reply #735 on:** April 12, 2012, 09:20:38 AM »

These are the same books.

Many of the posts on here, take a lesson, and break it up into different weeks and 2 or 3 lessons per chapter.

Keep up the good work guys!

Well, I've been trying all morning to upload a lucky wheel game for grade 1 chapter 3, but keep getting an "upload folder full" error... just me? Guess the server migration didn't go well? lol ???

Those books are the same as the ones everyone here posts about. As dannyshaw7 said, generally most people pick out the key expressions and work a lesson around them. Usually Exercise A in Listening and Exercise A in Speaking cover the same material. I would use these 2 in one class time, and then the following week do the matching Exercise Bs.

As for games, I usually stay away from the bomb games as I think they are bit restricted to only having a specific answer. There are so many lessons on advice/suggestions/invitations in the book, so I will usually have a team game where I show the kids an outrageous picture and they have to make advice/suggestion/invitations related to the picture. I give them 1 point for good grammar/spelling, 1 point for a unique answer, and 2 points for the best team. It encourages them to think of outlandish answers which I fully encourage!

ahhh ok that makes sense :D unfortunately...I have to stick with the book BUT I can add stuff to it. So hopefully I can take the games and make use of them. Today I tried telling my students the important phrases..and they were bored. oh children.... :'( haha. I WILL make learning English FUN! RAWR! :]

After 2 years of god awful text books, these are by far the easiest and most practical I have ever had to use. I'm so happy!

You mean the books were worse than this in the past :o

After teaching with New Cutting Edge and New Headway these books are a joke.........

The grade three book has an example of the past perfect as a grammar point...........some of the kids in my classes can't even read English.

Oh, well. At least there has been some progress.
