This is my my first lesson for Grade 1 Ch. 4. It covers the offering food to guests bit and reviews food names.

For the last slide, I brought 2-3 chairs to the front of class, and told them that it was my house. Take a textbook, sit kids in the seats, and demo offering the food. The next time, bring up 3-4 kids and have one take your part. Let them pick the food that they offer to their friends (I left the foods from the brainstorming on the 3rd slide on the board). If you've got a super low level class and they can't remember the responses, go back one slide.

Hopw it helps someone out there!

I modified a writing worksheet found on Boggle's ESL (a GREAT site for resources if you haven't discovered it already) to give to my low level students. It features pictures of 5 different food and drink with 2 blank lines next to them for writing practice. The dialogue from this lesson: "Help yourself..." and "Have some..." is printed at the top along with examples of each and the appropriate responses. I've included some words to get them started.

In addition to writing, I have them practice speaking by offering the food in the picture to their partner and then writing down the response. They switch roles until both have completed the worksheet. Hope this is helpful!

Grade 1 Lesson 4

A Lucky Wheel Bomb Game for the suggesting food part of Lesson 4.

- Everyone will read the suggesting food expression out loud, replacing the blank with the picture of the food.
- Based on the suggestion, there will be either an accept (Yes) or decline (No) clause attached to the suggestion. The team will answer using the appropriate response: "Yes, thank you" and "Thanks. It's delicious" for yes and "No, thanks. I'm full." for no.
- Everyone will then read the revealed response out loud. This will reinforce the other responses that are also valid

Thanks! This game was great, even my very low level students got into it. Pitting the boys against the girls made it even more exciting for them. I have a trouble student who is very unmotivated and he was speaking complete sentences by the end! The sound effects are icing on the cake. Great job!

I'm glad it went well for you. My students were all "Teacher, why? Hungry!"

Here's my powerpoint for Grade 3, Lesson 4: Become a Better Problem Solver and accompanying worksheets.

On slide 1, I had a link to this video (it's saved on my hard drive, but you can just change the hyperlink to point to the Youtube version instead):

On slide 10, I linked it to this amazing Optical Illusions powerpoint put together by mycombs, here: http://waygook.org/index.php/topic,2702.0.html

Slide 11: click on the Charlie Chaplin picture and it links to another youtube optical illusion.

Slide 46 is this video:

It might be late, but here's the 2nd year lesson I did last week to practice "I can't believe it!".

First, I showed them these two videos from Will It Blend. If you don't know this series of videos I HIGHLY recommend it! It's hilarious and the kids love it. If you're short on time, just do the iPhone video, it's awesome.

Tom blends an XBox Connect

Tom blends an iPhone 4

I followed the videos by eliciting the students reactions in English and eventually getting the target language from the book.
We then did Ready A in the book, followed by a game.

I gave each team a big paper (just print out the ppt as 1 slide per page landscaped and double-sided) that had "I can't believe it!" on one side and "I believe it!" on the other. I then showed them the powerpoint and each team had to answer showing their paper and saying it out loud. For every slide, the paper had to change to another student so that they all had to speak at some point in the class. Each team got a point if they guess correctly.

Here's the links for the videos, as I have an ancient Korean version of powerpoint and cannot get links into my slides ㅠㅠ

Amazing Stunts- I just showed Numbers 3 and 4:

Parrot sound effects:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sXENI8tpJE
BBC Penguin fake:

Answer Key to Powerpoint
Slide 1-Penguin video-False, Slide 2-True, Slide 3-True, Slide 4-False (they lay 40-100), Slide 5- False, Slide 6-True, Slide 7-True, Slide 8-Amazing Stunts 3 and 4-True, Slide 9- False, Slide 10-True, Slide 11-False, Slide 12-Parrot-True, Slide 13-False(it would be green), Slide 14-True, Slide 15-True

The kids really enjoyed this lesson, even the low level ones paid attention!

3rd Grade Lesson 5 Week 1

nzaslow · « **Reply #191 on:** May 24, 2011, 01:51:37 PM »

Man, everyone's so far ahead! Next week my 3rd years are going to be doing our 4th week of chapter 3! I'm running out of things to do - and as far as I can see, the book doesn't have a speaking activity for the 3rd communication point in that chapter (I'm going on a picnic / I'm sure you'll have fun.)

Here's what I'm doing this week, if anyone else is still on chapter 3..This lesson couldn't of been made without Olive26, Jaybird, or Kari2maB's lessons and games. Thanks to everyone for contributing to this thread!

Y03Ch03
Low/multi level: Tag Questions
The lesson starts by introducing tag questions and doing part A of the worksheet. After you explain ways to answer tag questions using the books target language, have your students write down 3 truths and one lie about themselves. Since my SS are low level I made the sentences for them, but for higher level students you could have them free write. Then, have them trade paper with a friend sitting near them and practice asking and answering the questions. You should have 10~15 min leftover to play the team bomb game.

Korean words on the board: Agree (동의하다), Certainly (물론이지), True (진실), Lie (거짓).

3rd Grade Lesson 5 Week 1

Thanks frappps! Is it just me or is this chapter so absurdly random?!

KarizmaB · « **Reply #193 on:** May 24, 2011, 03:01:39 PM »

These posts have been so helpful to me! Sometimes I find it very difficult to come up with lessons based on the text. Thank you everyone!

Here is a writing worksheet for Grade 2 Lesson 4. I write the three forms of asking permission on the board: May I..., Can I..., and Let me..., as well as ways to give permission: sure, you can; go ahead; yes, you may (these are also printed at the top of the worksheet).

Situations are presented in which one would need to ask for something: I'm hungry, I'm cold, I'm bored, etc. Students must write a permission question and positive response as in Part A on pg. 68. I then have them practice the dialogue in partners. It was a little difficult for my very low level students but the rest had fun getting creative (ex. I'm hot. Can I take off my clothes?)

You can add the refusing permission dialogue, my students wrote these down anyway, especially "No way!".

Big thanks to Seoulian!
This is a revised version of his submission with a TicTacToe game activity at the end.

Tips
-- be careful with clicking the X and O buttons-- they are small and can be finicky. Beware, SmartBoard users. You can highlight and resize everything larger if you want.
--Also, every time you say "Tic Tac Toe" your students will probably reply with "ID"... apparently it's from a very successful gum commercial.

Grade 3 Lesson 4

An excellent Spy vs Spy Bomb Game for the asking understanding part of Lesson 4. The Spy vs Spy game, by Sechje requires you to download two fonts as well as have an active internet connection.

http://waygook.org/index.php/topic,10864
...

I've updated the game a bit to include more gain points than lose (all the teams were running minus in the first round!) and embedded the videos so you can play all of them without an internet connection (a lot of the videos were changed to not allow playing embedded videos and instead required you to open a new window in Youtube.)

Edit:

Video files to drop in the same folder as your powerpoint

Thanks a bunch for this - great work! I especially appreciate the video files, as my students and I frequently grumble together about "Youtube buffering" in class...

Sorry for the delay. Please feel free to PM me when you see things falling behind (and thanks nzaslow for the friendly reminder).

Thanks Jaybir for the pororo powerpoint for G3 L4! I'll be using it on monday. It's so pretty and fancy, my students will know it's not from me

DirtySexyMoney · « **Reply #198 on:** May 30, 2011, 08:44:42 AM »

This is a very simple ppt of Lesson 4 for 3rd Grade. It only covers the dialogues in the book (as that's all my school wants me to do for the low level kids), so you might need to flesh it out a bit to suit your own style. Anywho, hope it's helpful.

For Grade 3, Lesson 5, explaining "cause" and "result" - I found an awesome game from this blog: http://pjgalien.wordpress.com/

How I play it: divide the class into teams. Teams each get chances to find two cards that match. Once they find a match, to get points, they'll have to make a sentence including both the cause and the result: "I ate too much, so I got a stomachache."

I started to play this with my grumpy 9:00 a.m. Monday class, and they seemed to be getting into it. If you play this, look at the slides first and make sure you know which cards are a match in advance.
