This is a thread for any lesson material for J.L. Haas (2009 edition) Middle School English 1 Lesson 5: Stories for Everybody.  Please share your contributions here. Be sure to explain exactly what you are posting and please do not post multi-level materials in this thread. Also, any review lessons or materials should be posted in the review section for this grade. If you can't find what you're looking for here, be sure to check the previous edition of the book.  Best of luck in your lesson planning!

I will use this boardgame to practice the second section of the lesson. It has a mix of images and phrases for my low-level class.

Hi everyone! I teach 5-6 class periods per lesson, and I'll be posting my materials as I make them~

Lesson 5A covers emotion words in the context of the textbook dialogue "How do you feel? / I am ________." There's a PPT and a crossword puzzle. Afterwards, I play a game of Rows and Columns with emotion words. Here's an explanation of Rows & Columns: http://www.funenglishgames.com/activities/rowsandcolumns.html

Lesson 5B covers the "What's up?" dialogue and specifically focuses on pairing emotion words with reasons for the emotions. I've attached my LP, PPT and matching worksheet, as well as an Annoying Orange video that I used as a hook. There are a lot of little games built into this lesson -- instructions are in the lesson plan. **EDIT: The material isn't filling up all the class time, so I added a Pass the Ball game as well.

Lesson 5C covers "What's the matter?" There's a LP, PPT, worksheet and pictionary sentences. I was pretty flexible on the pictionary sentences for my students -- as long as the gist was correct, I'd usually give points.

Lesson 5D teaches the "Congratulations" dialogue. I ran through the textbook activities on pg 77 and 78 before having the students do a fill-in-the-blanks activity to Cliff Richard's "Congratulations," which the students should be familiar with since Koreans sing it all the time. I've attached an LP, PPT and worksheet. Youtube links for "Congratulations" are in the PPT; PM me if you want downloaded versions.

Lesson 5E  -- my last lesson!  I spent the first 15 minutes going over material related to my speaking test. This is a wrap-up lesson that focuses on the good news / bad news material in the Put It Together section of the textbook. This lesson is very simple. We ran through some examples of "good news" and "bad news," watched a few funny GIFs, and did the requisite listening. Then we played a quick game in which the teacher read out loud a piece of news, either good or bad. The students had to raise pieces of paper (which I attached to chopsticks) that said "GOOD" or "BAD" on them. I've attached a LP, PPT and a worksheet.

Previous week, had taught "So" and "because" and used this class as a chance to reinforce that grammar.  "I am sad because I lost my dog." "She is worried because she has a math test tomorrow." etc

This lesson requires an angry bird.

edit:  tweaked some of the animations in the ppt.

edit:  added version 3.  Use this if you haven't an angry bird; it goes with the attached bomb game.

Not a lot is being posted for this new textbook, and what is there seems pretty repetitive. Hopefully more people start sharing.

Here's a simple charades game I did at the end of class. I did it for 10-15 min, but it could last longer if you want.

Kid's choose a slip of paper out of a hat, and must act out the emotion and the reason why. I give them 1 minute for their team to guess.

1 point for guessing the emotion.
2 points for guessing the reason why.
1 point for correctly saying "I'm so happy for you" or "That's too bad."

Lesson 2 for Unit 5 page 77 and 78. The first two slides are spot the difference pictures i use for a warm up. I go through the text book page 77 and 78. Then I do the two songs. First song is from Rachelxlims lesson on Cliff Richards Congratulations. Big thanks Rachelxlim  . Second song is Bobby McFerrins song Dont Worry Be Happy. For fill in the gap activity i didnt actually use Bobby Mc Ferrins verion. Their is a hyperlink on the "Dont worry be happy" picture with two people jumping in the air to the song i used as it is sung clearly.
