Here's what I've been going for gr 1, lesson 4. Then I play the pororo "do you remember" game that someone posted, my middle school girls love it so thanks for posting it.

My kids are a little behind, but here's the worksheets I made for this week for Chapter 3. First grade worksheet reviews present progressive, third grade worksheet goes over tag questions. The second graders are in the middle of prepping for an English project, so they got a break from grammar this week.

This is the second lesson I'm using for Grade 2 Chapter 4. The presentation phase PPT has some nice .gifs that the students get into, I've noticed that using .gifs makes the presentation phase a little bit easier because the kids like the pictures. If you like them then go to:

http://senorgif.memebase.com/

If you're not computer savvy (like me) make sure NOT to copy and paste the pictures, make sure to actually save them to your computer and insert the photo through PPT. Again, with the slap card game, make a few copies of the document and cut the cards into sets, put the class into groups of 3 or 4. For whatever card, I would say, "May I borrow your pencil?" The first student to grab the pencil card keeps it and must say "Sure you can!" The student with the most cards at the end of the game wins and gets a coupon or whatever prize you give out (if you do). If there is a tie just have them rock, paper scissors to decide on a winner.

The rest of my class I just filled up with (I believe it was jaybird's I apologize if I'm giving the wrong credit) lucky wheel. I put in a few new slides to fit my presentation.

Hope this helps someone! ^_^

This is the first lesson Im using for Grade 2 Chapter 4. Its pretty straightforward. With the dialogue, first I would do a round with the class, me being one character, the class being the other, and then switch roles. After going through the dialogue as the class have them practice it with their partners.

After that go through the worksheets with the class.

Go Fish is always a really popular game with my students. The PPT explains the rules but as a sidenote, if one team already has two eyes drawn on the board and they roll another one, I let them draw a third eye and so on every time they roll for body parts they already have. This usually cracks the students up and makes it more fun for the class. Also make sure to draw two blank bodies on the white board for the students to draw the body parts on.

Hope this helps!

This is a lesson for Grade 3 Chapter 4. This is a bit of a Frankenstein lesson in that I took a lot of stuff from other people and globbed it all together on this one :-\. Is anyone else having trouble coming up with legitimate activities for the material in this chapter? "Is it clear?", "Let me see." Really? I don't know how much you can teach on phrases like this.

Anyways, this lesson is based mostly on problem solving and it just full of a bunch of random brain teasers and other things I found interesting that I would like to show my 3rd graders. I save the last 10 minutes or so for the optical illusions ppt. The kids really like this so far. I've been keeping track of how far I get in this .ppt in each class because I plan on showing the rest of it to them next week (it may not be the best English lesson but I think the illusions are really cool and want to show them off to my students).

Good luck!

I was wondering what you guys will be doing for the speaking test. Last year, I just made a list of questions covering the lessons taught. This time, I want to do something a little bit more creative. Any ideas?

My speaking test will cover chapters 1-4 for grades 1 and 3.

For Grade 1, I'm reviewing the past tense covered in Lesson 4. I'm asking them three questions: where did you go last weekend, what did you do, and how was it? They're pretty low level overall, so I couldn't do anything too difficult or creative!

Grade 2's speaking test is kind of evil, I guess (judging from the students' reactions). I'm basing it on the Desserts lesson because everyone likes food, and because I'm a bad teacher who likes to torture them before lunchtime, hehe. The students can choose to either 1) tell me about a memorable food experience or 2) tell me a recipe. I showed a clip from "Ratatouille" to help explain option #1, and that "Pancakes for your Face" Youtube clip for option #2. I'm finding that most of the students are opting for #1, because #2 requires a lot of specific cooking vocabulary that they don't know! I think I'll make a worksheet with basic food vocab, as well as cooking related actions (mix, stir, fry, etc) to help them out. If anyone is interested in these materials, I can post them when they're ready.

For the Grade 3's, I was utterly uninspired by what we've covered so far, so I'm having them do a show and tell (without the "show" part since it's a speaking test, really). I plan on bringing in my hedgehog and doing a demonstration of a show and tell. I am hoping they'll come up with creative things to talk about, but am bracing for lots of "this is my hand-eu-pon," "this is my pencil case," etc.

Hope this helps!

It's been a long time since I posted anything on here! Sorry...but I've be recycling my lessons from last year, so essentially nothing new.

However, I recently got off my lazy bum and cooked up a new idea! This lesson goes along with "Awesome!" In 3rd Year, Lesson 4.

I found some YouTube videos made by teenagers on "How to Be Awesome". One is silly and one is more sincere. After eliciting the meaning of awesome, I explained certain words from the videos they might not know: Vlog, Planking, Up-to-Date on Trends, Update Your Status. Also, most of my kids don't know who Arnold Schwarzenegger is.....ㅠㅠ I'm old! Anyway, here are the videos:

(silly one)

(serious one)

After each video, I elicited the steps from the video and wrote them on the board. I began with the silly one and then followed up with the serious one. I put the lists side by side and we talked very briefly about the differences.

Then, I divided them into teams and each team had to think of 5 steps on How to Be Awesome. They then presented them to the class. We have a reward system of stamps in my school, so each team got a stamp for speaking and the most creative or funny ones got two stamps.

I was surprised it took the whole period, but my kids are pretty rowdy and low level. If your kids are higher level, count on much less time.

Hi

Just posting my first lesson for "An Interview with an Astronaut," grade 1 chapter 6. I hope I am not too far ahead! I started by playing the following video clip. It is linked to the picture of the enormous phones on slide 7. Most of the students seemed to understand that it was supposed to be funny.

http://youtu.be/LIifh6aHsQM

I decided not to include taking a message in the lesson this week. This was partly because I am so far ahead and also because I found that it was too much for the second grade students to handle in one lesson, when I tried to do right number, wrong number and taking a message.

The worksheet is a modified version of something I found on waygook last year. I cannot for the life of me think of who it came from, but thank you!

We finished off by playing peasgoodnonsuch's brilliant "wrong number" game.

Become a Better Problem Solver, grade 3, lesson 4.
I know there are a bunch of these lessons floating around. I thought I'd share mine, in case any of it is of any use. My students really enjoyed this, I would definitely do this again.

I laminated the riddles and then cut them into strips. We did it as a riddle race. The students answered the riddles and then came to fetch the next one. The co-teacher got a copy of the riddles, hints and answers (on the second sheet of the excel document) and I asked them very nicely not to give the students the answers. I had 2 classes out of 8 get to the last riddle.

I lengthened an existing ppt on G1 Lesson 6 - Telephone Conversations. I thought someone else might find i useful!

I also included a lucky wheel game (also edited another Waygookian's ppt for this one. Had to change the scoring, there were too many minus points and I changed a couple questions. My kids hated it till I changed it =/).

Hope these help someone out there!

Again, I have a YouTube based lesson. This time its for 3rd Years Ch. 5 "I'm planning to" "I'm going to" "I will" Never mind the fact that they learned all of these in their 1st and 2nd year.... ::)

So, basically it goes like this:

1)Ready B, elicit future and review briefly
2)Elicit what people do when summer comes, guide the answers towards focusing on travel to other countries or your home country
3)Watch a variety of tourism ads (links below)
4)Students in teams create their own trip with 5 simple sentences using the future.
I'm planning to visit (where)
I will stay for (how long)
I'm going to (what will they do?)
I will also (what will they do #2?)
I'm planning to eat (food from that place)

5)The teams present their travel plans to the class.

Obviously, you can adapt this in many ways. Here are the videos I've been using.

Malaysia

Australia

Northern Ireland

New York City

Canary Islands

Italy

Korea

You can make a worksheet for them to fill in if they have a hard time writing full sentences. I just gave mine blank scrap paper...

Part of my open class lesson plan
Grade 2, Chapter 4

It's designed to be quick and relatively intuitive, for the midpoint of class. Say 6 min. max. It's derived from the speaking section of the text book with the assumption that the students are familiar with the term "I can't believe it" and "unbelievable!" from their other English classes.

The game also includes a pic I made of myself from Paint. Keep it or trash it at your leisure.

"It may be..." activity '
Just an idea and this may be late for some, but for those on Grade 2 Lesson 5, I followed one of activities from the Activity book. Students were divided into groups, I would present part of a picture, students would get 30 seconds to guess what it was and hold up their answer (it may be...). If they are right on the first try, +2 points but if they asked for a hint (I showed them another part of the picture), they'd only get +1 point. I lost the ppt, but you can easily make one. Examples I used were: bike, fish, hello kitty, orange juice...etc

If you do make a powerpoint, don't make it too hard. I thought it was easy but it was actually hard for my students at times (probably because of the lighting and coloring of the ppt)

Grade 3, lesson 4- Modified Pororo Game for this lesson, made for high level students and low level. They go over the vocabulary from the book. Some of the questions I went over specifically with my students, so you might want to check and make sure your students have learned them first.

한소로 · « **Reply #435 on:** June 19, 2012, 12:53:46 PM »

Grade 1 Lesson 4- Modified Pororo game, mostly deals with past tense. All levels.

한소로 · « **Reply #436 on:** June 19, 2012, 12:56:47 PM »

Grade 3, Lesson 4- Extra Riddles. Used for either a warm up or and ending to a lesson. Very simple PPT. High level.

peasgoodnonsuch · « **Reply #437 on:** June 20, 2012, 08:00:37 AM »

Grade 3, Lesson 5-dialogue game for "I'll keep that in mind" etc.

Basically the teams raise their hands to do the dialogue as modeled in the first slide. Very simple and fast.

A: I'm learning how to ride a bike

B: Be sure to wear your helmet.

A: Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

My coteacher asked me to spend part of my class focusing on the helping the environment part of Grade 1 Lesson 5. Basic structure of the class is: PPT up to the second-to-last slide, explaining that slide's prompts, letting the kids brainstorm in their groups and make sentences, having them stand up and say the sentences out loud, and showing the last slide as they leave. If there's a ton of extra time they'll make save the environment posters with A4 paper and markers.

Fair warning: I teach only girls, my classes are very small, and my students are low-level, so this PPT is heavy on simple review sentences and cute pictures. I also have access to Korean-English dictionaries that even my worst students get REALLY excited about for some reason. If your kids are higher-level or if they've already hit that phase where they sit around like slugs and refuse to do anything, I wouldn't use this without a lot of modification.

Grade 1 Lesson 4 - part 2

In their activity books on page 57 there is a fun game using the past tense.
So I reviewed the past tense with the attached ppt.
Had them do part of of the worksheet (there was not enough time for the 2nd part) and then had them play the game on page 57. My co-teacher had dice, and I have them use the animal faces from http://familycrafts.about.com/od/animalscreatures/ss/Animal-Bingo-Game-Cards_2.htm as their markers.

The kids eagerly participated and had fun! Maybe don't give them so many pieces to choose from.

sbbirk03 thanks for the orginal material. I edit a bit, and reposted as a thank you :)
