Grade 3 Lesson 8To introduce the lesson, I start out by doing my usual greeting, and moving into a warm-up of a task that might take some time. I am thinking a match stick brain puzzle. I will put the students in teams of two to do this, and will time them to see who can do it the fastest. Once each team finishes I will give them their time. I will then introduce the main phrase for the chapter of "How long does it take you to..." and use this to ask the students how long it took them to complete the task. I will also give them the proper response of "It takes me...." I know this is a bit easier with smaller class sizes, but can easily be adapted with other activities to introduce the concept of "how long it takes'' to do something. You could come up with a task that the whole class has to complete or something along those lines.I hope this can help some out there!
Here's a pass the bomb game that I made, combining Unit 8, Listen & Talk 1 and 2 (Redone from a different lesson made by user annekat - whose stuff I love, btw! Thanks to her!)
Hi Landis - sorry I'm so behind with this reply! For Pass the Bomb, students must pass the ball around the room (make sure they know that throwing is not allowed) as quickly as they can - sort of like hot potato. When the bomb on the Ppt explodes, whoever is holding the ball at that time has to make a sentence, answer a question, etc. It goes over very well with my classes!
