I'm adding my grade 2 and grade 3 lessons for Chapter 6 here.

Grade 2

I start with DBSK's Wrong Number (link below) to introduce the subject and that phrase, then elicit the basic phone stuff they know (hopefully) from last year, followed by listening B and eliciting leaving messages, which I demonstrate on the board with a stick figure dialogue. It helps to ask the kids to name the characters and make it into a story.

Then I tell them I'm going to tell them about a very sad love story (again with stick figures on the board). A boy meets a girl and really likes her, so he asks for her phone number. Unfortunately she has really bad handwriting and writes her number like this (write down a nearly illegible number on the board). At this point the kids usually laugh and have a crack at trying to read it. Anyway, the boy calls but guess who answers? At this point, I draw something ridiculous like a granny or big burly man. What's he going to say to the boy? "Sorry, you've got the wrong number."

Next, they practice in pairs making phone calls (ideally back to back) either using your sample dialogues on the board or the ones on p. 104 A or B.

The class ends with a phone call game. One student is volunteers to leave the room for a moment. Hide a piece of candy with another student and invite the other student back into the room. That person can make 3 (more or less depending on class size) "phone calls" to students in the class by saying "May I or Can I speak to (student's name). If the student receiving the call doesn't have the candy, they say "Sorry, you've got the wrong number." If they do have the candy, they say "This is he/she speaking". If the student finds the candy, they get to eat it. If they don't they get a stamp (my school uses stamps/signatures) as a reward. The student hiding it also gets a stamp.
This is my second year playing this game and across the board the kids have loved it!

DBSK/TVXQ Wrong Number with Eng Subs:

Grade 3

I've been opening class with a rather lengthy game call Think Fast that I found online. I've posted it on a warm-up thread as well. Basically, the class stands in a circle with one person in the middle. The person in the middle is either blind-folded or has their eyes closed. The rest of the class passes around some small object until the middle person says "Stop!" At this point the middle person says a letter and whoever is caught holding the object has 10 seconds to name 3 English words with that letter. If they succeed they stay in, if they fail they're out. Whenever someone is out, the middle person changes. Because it's kind of embarrassing to be in the middle, I've been promising all center volunteers candy. What can I say, I'm being easy on them for their first week back! Anyway, this game is great because you can adjust the rules for different proficiency levels and subjects. More time for lower class or less words and vice versa for higher levels.

Anyway, after that we hit the books with Ready A to elicit "Make sure to....". I then elicit different situations or problems that require warning or advice, what that advice might be, and then ask them to use the TL with it.

Finally we have a game using the attached powerpoint. I found some kind of silly or dumb warning signs. Teams have 3 ways to earn a point: 1-name the problem 2-name the advice 3-use "Make sure to..." to give the advice/warning. Team with the most points wins. I've only done it once, so I'm not sure how good a game it is. Feedback would be great!

EDIT: I have done the Make Sure To ppt with a few classes and sort of low level of success. The kids English isn't really high enough for it and they get the nuances of why the signs are funny. My highest kids kind of got it. Anyway folks, take it as a warning: this one is kinda wonky!

Sorry if that sounded like I was giving you an attitude. I guess I should include one of these  :). No hard feelings.

I'll be a nice teacher and give my worksheet I used for grade 3 lesson 6.  I pinched a worksheet off the official website for UK adults taking ESL and modified it some.  My classes have trouble with reading comprehension so I'm trying to get them to look for key words and words they know.  The definitions on the sheet are advanced, but once they got use to looking for words they knew they really took off. 

The first sheet is matching a sport to an advanced definition.  (They probably will have trouble figuring out white water and the word canoe :( ) 

The second sheet is writing a sentence describing what, when, where, and how.  The instructions at the top can easily be shuffled for them to make a correct sentence.  Just be sure to show them how to look at the question and use the words in the question to make a sentence.  I have very low level students so I'm basically trying to show them things the inner city kids probably are already taught.

Example: Write a sentence about where you do the sport becomes "You do the sport (where)"

Grade 1, Chapter 6, Lesson 1- Can I/May I use your  ______? Yes/No you can/can't.

For this one, the PPT isn't all that shiny (I only used it for a few minutes), but it doubles as the printout for the cards. You may need to size yours or back them with something-- my kids were excited about the idea of a card game and were speaking english, so I didn't mind the cheating too much (I may throw backs on them tonight, I also ran out of time this morning!).

Kids stayed pretty engaged through this one though, granted, the drills/games were new to them.

Here are some worksheets for Grade 1 lesson 6.

Lesson 6 - Grades 1 and 2

Not all of my lesson plans were successful so I will just share with you what worked best.

I introduced Lesson 6 with a modified PPT on telephone conversations. For the practice dialogue (slides 14-22), I had each student read one line. The rest we read as a class. Pop stars work well for getting the attention of kids who just came back from break  ::)

I then had the students find a partner or group of 3-4 (depending on their level) and handed each group the cut up phone strips and phone sheet with blank speech bubbles. After they had placed the dialogue in the order they believed to be correct, we reviewed the correct order as a class. I then gave them glue sticks and have them practice the dialogue with their partner(s).

My low level students really enjoyed the garfield telephone activity I did as a warm-up. I can't take credit for this WS either, I just modified it. I put it up on the screen and we did it as a class. Page 2 is the answer key.

My upper level students enjoyed a WS I found on cellphones (That's Gr8!). Afterwards I taught them abbreviations and played a PPT quiz game.

As you can probably tell, I find most of my materials on this site and modify them for my students. Thanks for sharing! Hope these help!  ;D

Ok, I've just recently moved to a new school that uses these textbooks so I'm new to this thread. Here's my contribution to the Grade 3 Lesson 6 Extreme Sports Lesson. I did a search on waygook and found an amazing PPT on extreme sports with a great game built into it and links to 4 extreme videos which can be used as a prize for the winning team. I've modified the PPT to make it more specific to the textbook and more suitable for my students (low level) and added in some slides of make the game longer. Thanks to the OP - you're amazing (sorry I can't remember your online name - the name on the original PPT was Leo!). Hope this can be useful to someone, its a fun intro for the lesson.

Hi Karenology

I have a Korean quiz that I will be using for lesson 7. Just need to finish it up then I will post it.

Let me know if you are interested. When are you starting lesson 7? I'm still ons lesson 6 for the next week or so.

Have an awesome weekend.

I'm on lesson 7 now.  Apparently the students started the lesson right before break in their regular English classes (and remember none of it, naturally).   My co-teachers are moving FAST...the grade 1s are already on lesson 8!

I'm up loading a Grade 1 Lesson 6 ppt game for Can/May.

Teams have to choose which word is appropriate to finish the sentence. If they get it right they get a point. I give each team a paper with "can" on one side and "may" on the other. This is to stress the difference on polite vs. informal form. It's pretty simple.

Another game I played to practice phone calls is Celebrity Phone Call. Make cards with different celebrities names on them and beneath in small letter and parentheses put another celebrity. This bottom person is the one they need to call. Two ways to play:

-For higher and intermediate classes, the students walk around with their cards and make phone calls to whoever they meet until they find their match, first 3 pairs win. Dialogue: Can/May I speak to ____________? Answer if wrong person: Sorry, _________ isn't home. Correct person: This is he/she.

-For lower classes: select 5 people to stand at the front and give them celebrity name cards (to be kept a secret). Choose another student to make a phone call. They have 3 phone calls to find the correct celebrity. If they do they win candy or a stamp, etc.

EDIT: I'm adding a modified version of May vs. Can for higher levels. They have to form the whole question for a bonus point.

Do you have anything on the later chapters?  I'm starting with chapter 7 in all three books and I could definitely use some ideas!  (Especially for grade 3)

I'm so pleased I found this! I'm new in Korea and I agree, even the teacher's book doesn't really tell you what you what target expressions or language they are looking for. I'm preparing the "talking break" speaking lesson of lesson 7 in the Middle School 1. I'm concerned that the students won't know all the vocab they seem to throw at them. Should students already know what chills, earache and dizzy are at this level or should I go over the vocab with them before hand?

Ask your co-teacher. The students go through 12-13 units of English classes on each chapter and you're only covering two units, usually the speaking parts. Coordinate with your co-teacher because the worst thing you can do is repeat what the Korean teacher already did and bore them to death.

Does anyone have a powerpoint presentation for lesson 6 grade 2. I'm finding it difficult to find one

Today is the first time I looked at Grade 3 Lesson 7.  From my understanding, we're teaching our students how to be rude, obnoxious, and a know-it-all.  Did anyone else get that vibe?

I also love that it's the exact same vocabulary as Grade 2 (I can't believe that/That's amazing/What a surprise).

I think that's a great idea about the mini presentations though, and the loch ness monster clip.

This book, it just... it leaves me speechless.

Material doesn't magically appear. If there's nothing here, you can start first.

Lesson 6 Grade 2. Included lesson powerpoint and modified version of the phone call board game from here: http://waygook.org/index.php/topic,1672.msg5365.html#msg5365

This lesson worked really well, but there is hilarious tokenism on the slide called "phone call game with 5 people". I didn't notice until my students pointed it out.

Exactly!  My students groan whenever they see the word "amazing" now. 

The presentations went well in the classes I've had so far.  I suggested "Dokdo" as one of the topics, so half the students chose that.   It's good practice for the real world and trying to explain the hullaboo to foreigners  :laugh:

So, here's the thing, we have no idea what or how you teach. So, it's pretty hard to recommend anything to you.
