Grade 2
Lesson 9: If I Were You
Read & Do, p. 126-129

Look at the ppt first. The word doc relates to the fill-in-the-blank slides. These slides are followed by comprehension questions. Hope this is useful to someone.

Grade 2 Chapter 10

Charades game with a timer and buzzer. It focuses on the phrase "What a nice ______!"

There are several ways you can play Charades. I have been doing it as follows:

I have them get into groups of 6 (I have 36 kids per class so you could do smaller groups if you have a smaller class). I have the first group stand up and one student from that group comes to the front, standing with their back to the TV. Then I show the slide on the TV and the group has to act out the sentence (without speaking) while the student in front tries to guess within the time limit. If they get it right, I give them 1 point on a scoreboard that I have drawn on the chalkboard. I do this one more time for group 1 and then have them sit down and group 2 stands up and repeat (Each group gets 2 turns and then it is the next group's turn). You can keep cycling through until the class ends.

You could also play where the 5 students are standing in the front with their backs to the TV and one student is facing it while acting out the sentence, but I find that they are way too shy to be acting it out all by themselves so it works better if a group of them is acting it out while one of them guesses (some of them are even too shy to act it out while in the group).

Hello guys!

Each semester, I do a SPEAKING TEST. I'm leaving shortly, so I had to a speaking test over the first 3 chapters this semester, but usually I do it over the whole semester.

I wanted to post a "how I do speaking tests" ppt and hope that it can help. I have given 7 speaking tests now and each time I learned something. Hopefully I can pass on some of that information through this powerpoint.

If you don't do speaking tests, I would recommend bringing it up with your co-teachers. There are two reasons. 1) For me, it's the only time I get to actually grade the students. In addition, once I got to have a say in grades (even if it is a minute part) I was able to start a 2) class participation rewards system that actually went beyond "earning candy." Now, I have students who want stickers because if they get 3 stickers it automatically raises their speaking test grade by one point. (I actually had a student who didn't have to take the test because he had earned 12 stickers in half the semester.) Also, if the class just behaves really poorly one day, I can say they aren't getting any stickers. This has happened all of 2 times and the class shaped up almost immediately (since I only see some of my kids every other week, they can't waste a week and not get stickers).

If you have any questions about either the speaking tests or my classroom rewards systems, you can PM me and I'll be happy to answer.

Here's a powerpoint covering the "It's my job to...." and "used to" parts of this chapter. Pretty rough, but it's something!

Okay, I had to take things down a notch this week. The students are a bit restless, out of control so I made things a bit easier for them (and me!) this week.

We are doing Listen and Speak 2 (10min)

Then they each get a bingo card (....This morning we had only time for one game of bingo (although they have filled in BOTH sides of their card).
.

How do I play bingo?
Where do I find the bingo card?

Yes I would like to know how to play bingo as well and echo the questions above..

Landis · « **Reply #571 on:** October 30, 2012, 07:47:21 AM »

right he talks about a bingo card in the directions but it is not provided among the attachments.

Onedinja · « **Reply #572 on:** October 30, 2012, 07:57:09 AM »

Perhaps you could look at the materials that have been provided and make some of your own if you're in urgent need of them.

Bingo is usually played with numbers. You're given a grid of say 25 numbers and a caller pulls a number from a hat/box. Usually everyone's grid of numbers is different. The first person to make a line (horizontally or vertically) calls 'Bingo!' and is the winner. Usually in EFL you can make a grid of words and students have to go round practising a dialogue and write classmates names on their grid. When they complete a line (horizontally, vertically or diagonally - it's up to you) they call 'Bingo!' and are the winner. I did this to practise the present perfect tense. The words in the grid were things like 'been to Busan' 'eaten squid' and students had to mingle and ask their classmates 'Have you ever been to Busan?' and if their classmate says 'Yes, I have' then their name goes on that square.

I hope that helps.

I'm taking it easy on my first graders this week. We're practising 'Do you want to...?'.

First, I introduce/refresh the language in the using the PPT. Then I play the Mario game for 18 minutes. I set the timer on my phone. The game just gives loads of examples of 'Do you want to...'. Then I introduce the mingle speaking activity. It's very easy to model especially if you have some more capable students. Make them draw the chart in the original PPT. Each students get a picture card which is printed and laminated and cut out. They have to mingle and ask their classmates 'Do you want to....' followed by something in the list. For the lower levels I elicited what verb they will need to add for each e.g. 'play' basketball. Then they just find the students who have the appropriate card and put their name next to it on their chart. Listen and conduct whole class error correction at the end. Easy!

Woops - probably should have said that this is for Grade 1 - Chapter 11

Grade 1: Lesson 10. No Easy Answer

Thanks to original creators.
For the activity, I asked one student to sit outside of class (can be more than one) while I chose two students to be "Lady Gaga"s. The student who had been sitting outside comes back in and guess who Lady Gaga is by asking each student "Hello, this is ____. May I speak to Lady Gaga please?" If they are Lady Gaga, they asnwer "This is Lady Gaga speaking." and if not, "Sorry, you've got the wrong number." The student gets only three chances to ask. The students really enjoyed this activity.
