Grade 1 chapter 4.

Offering food. Accepting/declining the offer.

We played heads up 7 up with a twist. Been wanting to play it for awhile and it works like a charm. Could use it for ANY lesson with different questions/responses.

You need 7 volunteers, depending on the class size of course maybe less. Everyone else puts their heads down and their desks and sticks their thumb up.The 7 volunteers will each pick a student secretly by putting their thumb down. When they are finished, I say heads up 7 up! The 7 kids have to guess WHO put their thumb down. Instead of just asking, was it you? they must offer them food like; have some pizza. If the person didnt pick them they say, No, thanks. Im full. But if they DID pick them they must say, Yes, thank you and switch places. Played for 20-25 minutes. With medium/high level middle school students.

Grade 1 Chapter 5

Here is a worksheet I quickly made before class today... nothing too fancy.
Each student walks around the classroom and says the statements to different students (ex: 1. "I went to the hospital yesterday."). The student will write the name of the student they talked to and what their response was (ex: "That's too bad" or "I'm sorry.") This was used for my lowest level students who did pretty well with it.... plus they love running around the room any chance they get. It can be rewritten for higher levels or they can create their own statements.

G3 Lesson 5

To teach "What are you plans?" and "I'm planning to..." I found some great cat pics and put together the following PPT.

Students fill in the planner with the schedule presented in the PPT. Afterward I told them they are going to be taking care of Funny Cat for a week and their schedule would be the same as his (this explanation may be unnecessary but I wanted to keep it simple and in first person).

I asked questions using "What are your plans for (time) (day)?" and they responded in complete sentences using "I'm planning to (activity)". I gave one class pennies instead of candy.

The pictures were interesting enough to keep my students attention and it worked great to teach the dialogue.

I figured that part out but still the same marker. Theres no difference if I click on the blue planet or the yellow planet.

I just check the game out again and it's working.

You select a square which will bring you to the question page. On the question page, click on the red or blue planets, to get back to the grid page. Doesn't matter which planet you click, they will both bring you to the grid page. On the grid page, there is now a planet half red and half blue. Click the blue or red side of the planet to change the whole planet to that color.

For grade 2 lesson 5, Real-life scene B, anyone have a clue on what the topic is?

Expressing dong-jung? From the examples, I'm guessing comforting someone?

Yeah, from what I understand it's about sympathizing with others.

it's in there to show the students the difference between "i'm sorry," in english, versus korean. 죄송해요/미안해요 mean i'm sorry for what i did. in korean there is a different expression for sympathy.

To go with "What a Beautiful World!" This assumes that the students have already learned the grammar in their classes and you're just reinforcing it.

1. After you go over mine/ours/theirs, the first sheet to use is p. 2. Explain that they are looking for their partner, but only the people with STAND cards get to stand up. They ask:

Is this _______ yours?

And the SIT people answer:

No, it's not mine. It's hers (or his...I'm at an all girls' school, so this was uncomplicated).

When they find their partner, they sit down together. Unfortunately this activity is a little long on explanation and a little short on time it actually takes-- if a coteacher or high-level student can translate, it goes more smoothly.

2. Then you give each pair the page 1 worksheet, on which you have drawn three people over the names and given them each possessions. If you're not into hand-coloring shoes and boxes for 20 worksheets per class, change up those questions a bit. I gave my classes 4 minutes to do this and most people managed to finish; we then wrote the answers on the board, giving the students some quality chalk time.

3. There is/there are

A pretty simple guessing game. Students write a place with four clues, using is/are appropriately, and then they try to stump the other students. Ideally, if they got through all four clues with no one guessing, you could give out a prize, but the only time that happened in my class was the time someone chose "toilet." Also might work as a team game. Freestyle, it took about 10 minutes, but if you made it a team game, it could take longer. I didn't think there was enough content to justify that, though.

Mix and match as you like!

Some worksheets I made for grade 2, chapter 5, "Stand Up and Stretch!"

The chapter is called "Stand Up and Stretch!," so we have students making stretches and writing about why they're stressed. On the stretch sheet, you have to draw in a box for them to draw their stretches; on the stress sheet, you have to make a bubble chart with "stress" in the middle for students to write reasons why they're stressed on the sides. It depends on students already having learned the grammar, because those sentences at the bottom would be pretty demanding otherwise.

The stretch sheet is pretty open-ended, but you can point the examples in the book, and it's actually really popular. The file is called "exercise video scripts," but we didn't make exercise videos because I'm sort of lacking in reliable technology. I think it's a good idea, though, and I encourage you to try it.

The scattergories is mostly geared toward Chapter 4 and you pick a new letter for each round. I made it when I learned at the last minute that the students might not have learned as much of Chapter 5 as I'd originally thought.

Here are four wordsearches I've made to go along with chapters 2 and 5, for grades 1 and 2. They have Korean as clues to reinforce learning the meanings. I got the meanings out of a vocab book our students use in collaboration with the textbook, which means a Korean teacher wrote them, not me, so they're more reliable. They should all be spell-checked, though, because nothing alerts you to typing errors like thirty-five girls yelling "TEACHER!! NOT 믆은! 많은!"

(ETA: There is one error! Chapter 5 grade 1 should have 무지개 (rainbow) instead of 부지개 (not a word). Uploaded the wrong version; sorry!!)

After you print them, you can use the copier to size them down so they are quarter-sheet sized per student.

I made this for my advanced-level grade 1's. Theme: 'what a beautiful world.'
Word scramble for a warmer,
animal quiz ( 4 clues ) for fun, listening and comprehension. (semi-warmer?)
Practice the key expressions and then either 'hot seat' game with animals
or 'Baam!' game with animals (simple bomb game)

OH! Didn't know that you had to click again when back to the grid page. Works fine now. Thanks!

Here's the powerpoint to go with my "There is" lesson above.

I stole peasgoodnonsuch's powerpoint/game idea and combined it with someone else's Jenga block idea! I put in different photos that have a bit more stuff in them and are higher contrast.

Again, this is for Grade 1, Lesson 5 - What a Beautiful World, in the 2008 edition of Middle School English 1. Or for any lesson where you have to review "there is / there are," for that matter!

Tell each team to write sentences beginning with "There is..." or "there are..." The team that writes the most sentences (correctly) within 3 minutes wins the round and gets 2 points. (You can give the other teams a point for completing, if you wish.) They also get to be the first to draw a Jenga block. Then the second place team goes, and third place, and so forth. If the Jenga blocks fall during their turn, that team loses half their points.

This was a big hit with my class today, and even the slightly bratty girls who never participate in games got really into this one! They got pretty clever with the sentences, such as "There are 26 eyes" and so forth.

If your kids are low level, you might want to help them out by giving them dictionaries, or writing the vocabulary for animals and various other objects out on the board for them.
