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!
Not done with Grade 3 Lesson 1 yet, but here's a video I plan to use for Grade 3 Lesson 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXe91rD4UGoThe kids have probably seen this already, but it's relevant and funny!
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!
I hate this lesson and can't wait to move on to "I'm Unique Because My Hearing is Bad," lol.
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

Even my classes that are typically stone silent and unresponsive were cracking up. Thank you!
