I have all of those books. I used the first and second grade ones last year and just started the third. They are actually pretty easier to use, so don't worry too much. I usually do one lesson with the text book, then a lesson with the activity book, then a review lesson. The review lesson always consists of a game. I have 3 weeks per lesson though. I will start making some posts on here of lessons - although, I don't use the recommended layout for the lesson plans, but they are still not hard to follow. I will start some posts up here soon if I have extra materials, but, to be honest, the book if your best friend with these, there isn't too much reason to deviate. I go over section "A" then let them practice in pairs. Next I make them close their books and they are tested in front of the class by standing and speaking. Then I do the same things for "B" and "C." The activity book lesson takes a little preparation, but very little, and that is easy to follow. The game is Jeopardy. Every class is in competition with the other classes in their grade to win a prize at the end of the semester - they don't know what it is yet though. Anyway, I will appreciate it is anyone has suggestions, when I make some extra materials I will post them for all to use. Take care!

sounds good. mind telling us what that prize is?? lol

I'm still struggling with the grade 3, chapter 2 stuff. It's pretty awful. Also, some of my kids are orphans so I'm worried about dredging up sore feelings with this "parents vs. kids" theme. :(

Yesterday, after the first preview of this lesson bombed, I tried an activity where I handed out red slips to some students and yellow slips to others (red and yellow cards are the school system's form of punishment, so all the kids think that's funny). The kids with the red cards are the parents, and the kids with the yellow cards are the students. Then I instruct the "parents" to scold or nag the "kids." Had some funny results with my higher level class, but we'll see how it goes with the others. It went over better than any of the book activities I've tried so far, though.

If anyone has any suggestions for more activities to make this chapter bearable, it would be greatly appreciated!

Karenology, what did you end up doing for your lesson?

Gr02 L02. This is just a REALLY basic ppt. that I threw together to begin the lesson with instead of just using the pictures in the textbook. It gets the kids interested and then we'll talk about what they'd like to try out.

The "Pass the Pencil" game is not my creation, so all credit to whoever posted that. It's amazing and I recycle it all the time!

Thank you for the game. The kids loved it. It was a win :)

I hate this lesson and can't wait to move on to "I'm Unique Because My Hearing is Bad," lol.

You should have seen the look on my face this morning, when I found out how much longer we'll be on chapter 2. It was not a happy look...

Here is a lesson for Grade 2 Chapter 2 on ordering food.

Hope it is helpful :)

The menu has two blank spots for pairs to put additional items on the menu. I like to throw in places they can be creative.

The Mr. Bean video links to this:

I cut it off around 2:00 in.

Anyone have any ideas for the "Sports Day" lesson that can, you know, actually incorporate sports?

I bought a toy basketball and hoop from Daiso, and I'm kind of blanking on what to do with it. I got it for playing vocab review games, but I don't get a vocab sheet from my co-teacher, and the emphasis seems to be on phrases instead of definitions.

Depending on how flexible your class is, I've heard of people having the students write or explain the rules of a certain sport, ie. Basketball or soccer, and then actually getting them to play using only English words. Or have them design their own sports and then explain the rules to the class, maybe the best game will be chosen to be played?

This is my lesson for grade 3 chapter 1 - "Are you interested in...?"

It was a two week lesson with a project. It went over really well and got the students talking and allowed them to be creative.

Enjoy!

My powerpoint of grade 1 lesson 2, My Twin sister.

I didn't stray too far from the book as I'm told not too.
I have them try and memorize the Real life scene bit. Most of them learn it easy enough. And it gets them speaking english.
Lesson went down well.

Hi, I am working on Grade 3 lesson 3 - 'I'm unique because my hearing is bad' I have done a lesson on advice - I think you should/ I suggest you should/ You'd better.... Just with a simple PPT presenting the language and then just images to elicite target language from students. Then using a worksheet to make up thier own problems and advice...

I am trying to make a plan for next week and think of some activities as the last lesson was a little dry, the only ideas I have had is getting students to tell the class a made up problem, a few give advice and then they choose who they will take advice from, but I have had difficulty getting them to make up thier own problems. I give a lot of examples but they seem to find it hard... Any ideas for games or activities? Or something new from 'i'm unique because my hearing is bad?
Thanks

For G3 Lesson3 I made small cards with different problems on each one. I had the students in groups of 3 or 4 and the one with the card had to act out what the problems was and then the other students had to give advice. I made cards like "I have a headache" "I broke up with my boyfriend" "I got in a fight"

most of my kids like acting out stuff so this worked pretty well. You could also do it with drawing instead of acting...so basically it is charades but with the students guessing the problem and giving suggestions and advice.

Thanks for the review lesson summerthyme! It's spot on for me and my third graders, especially for preparation for mid term exams. Cheers

Just a heads up, I did this lesson since last week and most of my students, even the advanced classes, were confused on what a 'play' was. I was unaware of this so I was not prepared for it. So for the next class, I posted a youtube video and found pictures from google to illustrate what a 'play' was. My students were confused 'a play' with playing as in 'playing computer games or soccer'. Also, you might also need to explain a little on what a 'cave' is as well.

Also,jster, you might just use the American spelling for 'favor'. Students might question why you chose the Canadian spelling so you need to waste time explaining, thus causing more confusion.

What follow up did you do with it? I think I'm going to do a group brainstorm, but they don't really have the vocab for it...
