This is a powerpoint with the lesson's vocabulary, as well as a memory game.

I have only completed a few of the powerpoints for this lesson, but I wanted to go ahead and put what I hd up for anyone. I really did not like any of the PP's on here for this chapter. My students are generally low-level, but I have some exceptionally high-level classes, so my PP's tend to cater to both types of students (some stuff is absurdly easy, and some stuff is very difficult. Modify according to your students!)

For my Chapter 2, Lesson 1, I talked solely about schools. I showed them the difference between their school and my middle school at home. Then I showed them pictures from the various high schools I went to. I also showed them pictures of interesting schools around the world (this was taken by someone in the JL Haas Grade 3 section!) Then we went over school vocabulary words. The final activity was for students to create a map of their school in English.

For my Chapter 2, Lesson 2, I did a T/F lesson regarding American schools. SUPER successful. My low-level kids could not believe some of the things about American schools. The students were very engaged so I had to change the activity for after my speech. Students were instructed to make an interesting school. The winner from each class will receive a chocopie. They will have the background in interesting schools from Chapter 2, Lesson 1, as well.

For Chapter 2, Lesson 3, students will have a hidden pictures game forcing them to remember and show what they know regarding verbs. I have not dine this lesson, but the Hidden Pictures Game is beyond successful usually. This will lead into a short lesson with -ing. Finally, students will be doing a charades game using the -ing.

I have 3 more lessons planned and will post when I am finished! They will focus on Prepositions and verbs and will have one final game.

I had a lot of fun with this class. My school emphasizes the textbook, so you'll see that in the PPT. I also used the box pictures with the dog, so thanks someone else for posting that! The activity with a bunch of animals was really for the students who finished the book activity faster than the rest of the class.

The "In, on under" song is a great way to get the students pumped if they are sleepy.

I also had a listening activity. The students put a piece of paper (with something hard under it) on top of their heads. I read the students a story and they have to draw it. This is what I read to them, but you should adapt it as you see fit for your kiddos.

"Draw a lake. Next to the lake is a house. In front of the house is a cat. Behind the house are three trees. On a tree, there are two birds. In the lake, there is a boat. Under the boat there is a fish." Make sure to allow for a minute after the activity for giggling and sharing. It takes a bit to calm them back down, but it was enjoyable all the same.
 

When I was teaching my students today, I intriduced them to the regular verbs and their present tense forms, such as dance - dancing.

My co-teacher mentioned to me something called PTK.
That is a new term I just learned because PTK refferes to verbs
that contain short vowels ending with consonants. When you add the
suffix "ing" to some of these words you have to apply PTK.

For instance hit - hitting.

Some words require just adding the suffix "ing," but others such as the
example above requires doubling the consonat after a short vowel sound
when converting that verb into a present tense.

Hello there. Here's my Power Point presentation covering prepositions from Chapter 2. It goes over a couple basic ones and then there's a Connect Four game at the end. Well it was supposed to be a Connect Four game originally but then I realized that it might be a little difficult to explain the concept of gravity for a PPT game and just made the rules so the students answer all the questions and at the end whichever team color has the most spaces wins.

I liked the idea of "Where's the cat" from one of the other presentations so I used a bit of that in mine.

Guess the picture activity to practice Am/Is/Are+ doing with a picture asking 'What is she doing?' etc. and they have to guess the answer. Part of the photo is covered. Ignore the photos of celebrities at the end, that was for something else.

Thank you rachelxlim for posting that Where's Waldo ppt. It is absolutely amazing and will definitely credit you for the hard work. I would never be able to do that. I hope my students will enjoy it as much as I have in my after-school class I am doing about countries and places! Thank you so much!
