Here are a couple more interesting art videos for Grade 3 Lesson 5.

Grade 3 Lesson 5 Listen and Speak 1. The students had the book open with the dialogue in front of them as a guide.

Just uploading this again because I also got a Korean message thing when I tried to open my earlier file.

after a lot of experimenting and frustration with lesson planning (I'm a new teacher this year)... I think I've got things relatively figured out.

It definitely helps if you have the teachers version, there's a little blurb before each section/day of each lesson that says what the students will be learning that day.  Ex: today we will be learning comparatives and superlatives, or we will learn what to say when we are trying to buy something (I'm looking for...).  I just refer to those portions and maybe a few of the sample scripts and then create the main content from there.

A lot of times the language the textbook uses is very stiff or awkward, so I just formally show/teach that part and make sure the students know that's the important part, then I focus on speaking in a more casual way with a second, slightly modified expression.  They seem to enjoy things like slang/casual speech better (it sounds cool to them when they say things like "I'm down for some coffee") and the usage is usually pretty much the same.

Here are one of my recent lessons, that I'm quite proud of for Grade 3... they didn't particularly enjoy the worksheet/powerpoint part as it's the grammar/boring-stuff-you-should-know part but they were paying attention and nearly all of my students did the worksheet.  (Usually I get about 50-60% completion...I'm at a pretty poor/low-level school)  A lot of visual aids help, particularly of sweet foods, cute animals, pop stars, or blockbuster movies.

Grade 3 - Lesson 4
Start off with the powerpoint, there is a short video in the beginning of Ernie singing "I'd like to visit the moon" which might be a little too immature for the students, they didn't seem to enjoy it.  I'd consider replacing it with the Pink Panther "I'd like a hamburger" video:

Then introduce the expression (I would like -> I'd like -> I'd like to and I'd like a).  My students, like I mentioned, are at lower levels, so I reinforced the "to" and "a" distinction (verbs/nouns).  As you go through the ppt, have the students call out what the answer should/could be and then have them all fill in the final answer on their worksheet.  The top portion of the worksheet is just for explaining/studying purposes... they don't need to fill in anything there.

Then comes the game/activity part - I used "Write Now!" game.  Split them into groups (I did 3, for each cluster of desks that they usually sit in) and have 1 writer come up to the board.  They then have 1-2 minutes to fill in answers to the model sentence using "a/an" properly with their teammates shouting answers to them.  Each correct answer is 1 point.  I also added later rules like any copied/duplicate words are disqualified which aren't on the powerpoint.  2 mins works well for a first test round and for less advanced students, 1 min for more advanced students/later rounds otherwise they have too many answers and it becomes difficult to check them.  After that, narrowing down the nouns they can use (by adding "to buy" or "to eat" verbs makes it a lot easier for them).  I usually have time for only 1-3 rounds, but my students love doing this activity.  They love shouting answers for their teammate, and it's quite hilarious when they're panicked and can't remember how to spell "chicken."

Phew...that explanation was longer than I intended, but I hope it helps.  Again, this worked really well for me ('cuz of my students' level, etc.) I'd love to know if it does for anyone else.

Anyone have ideas for G1 Lesson 6? My teachers keep me limited to the dialogue on Listen & Speak 1 and Listen & Speak 2. I'm getting so frustrated with these lessons. I feel like just showing movies for the remainder of the year. It's one thing to limit me to what I do. It's another thing for them to not help at all. Freaking EPIK, told us the teachers would help...I got one of the bad schools....

For grade 2 Lesson 6

I attached a Bingo game from earlier in this thread that I changed just a little. I go over the all the phrases with the students (Have you ever ______?) and then have them stand up and walk around the room asking each other if they have ever done one of the things on the worksheet. They write the name of the student in the box and the first student to get 3 lines get's candy and I give the rest of the students 1 point for every line they get (I have a participation points system with my classes.. so if you don't you'll have to come up with some other type of reward). It's a good idea to limit how many questions they can ask 1 student (I limit it to 2) and to make clear that they have to choose a phrase on the paper and ask them that specific phrase so they don't just go to a student, trade papers and write their names on some of the boxes. It's not great, but it's the best I could come up with for the listen and speak 1 of this chapter.

I also attached a couple of optical illusion videos. If you feel like you need to kill some more time I'm sure you could find a lot more on Youtube.

Here's a multiple choice game for reviewing grade 1 lessons 4-6. Not too difficult but wanted more of a 'review' lesson than a teaching lesson. Have used this format before over the traditional bomb games and it went down well with the class.

 

This is for Grade 3 Listen and Speak 2 Unit 5. Like the previous Girls Generation game, it involves 2 students in each team using the dialogue in the book as a template.

Have You Ever? Present Perfect Simple lesson ideas

Show Have You Ever1 powerpoint and explain. Then show Have You Ever2 and have students practice making Have you ever? questions

Then, show video clips (about 10 minutes total) and have students make Have you ever? questions -

for example.... Have you ever driven a car? Have you ever raced a car? Have you ever gone rafting?
