Here is a game I adapted from a food shopping list game.

I used it for Grade 3, lesson 5. It works a bit better when one student (or a teacher, if you have small classes like mine) can role-play as the clerk/bank. This person gets the price list and clothing pictures. I also used some won play money. Each player gets a shopping list and the first to buy everything one of everything on it is the winner.

When the clerk suggests a clothing item (pointing to one of the pictures), the player can take it or ask for something in another style/color.

@Chocolate Starfish:

This is a worksheet that I used with Grade 3, Unit 5. I basically had them do an activity where one person acted as a clerk in a store, and the other person was a customer.

Thanks. I was actually looking for ideas for "Feel free ~", but I have decided that the dialog is too lame so I'll illustrate it with examples. So basically my lesson plan is a PPT to introduce "Do you have any ~ ones?", with a card game based on Go Fish! to exercise the dialog. This takes a little time to set up, which doesn't leave too much for "Feel free ~", but that's okay as there's really not that much I can do with that part.

Grade 3 lesson 6 is just one of those lessons. Taking basic response comments and making a lesson out of it. Ready? Go.

PS, does anybody else feel like this is the Apocalypse chapter?

I agree, these dialogues are just WAY TOO EASY. Some how this book is easier than the grade 2 book. I will hopefully figure out something to do for this awful chapter.

Grade 2 Lesson 6....I combined both of the lessons previous posters did but pretty much kept it as is because it actually works for my classes. (sorry i don't remember the user name>.< )

I made my own original work sheet though and my kids actually like it because there are both difficult and easy sentences for the students to answer...works well for my extremely mixed classes

Grade 2 Lesson 4B

Do you know how to?

AnthonyTeacher · « **Reply #288 on:** June 16, 2011, 02:27:14 PM »

I had a class that was two weeks ahead of all other classes so I made this lesson to talk about lesson five's topic, thinking positive. The students had a great time with this lesson, and so did I.
There are several activities, the final one being a very fun writing game, similar to a writing relay. Students watch a video, determine if sentences are neg or pos, learn which that terms optimism and pessimism mean, take an optimism quiz, learn why positive thinking is important, quickly learn a bit of grammar from this lesson which they have already seen in context, play the optimism game.

For the optimism game (which is a group game), each group has a set of negative statements (the same for all groups) posted in strips on the board. Student 1 from each group comes to the board, takes a strip, sits down, writes a positive statement, comes back up, glues the strip to the paper, takes the next strip, and then gives it to student 2. And so on. The class is utter English chaos for about 10 mins. It's great! The winner is the first team complete.

Attached is the lesson plan, power point, and negative sentences. I have the videos in .mp4 format, but they cannot be uploaded here. So, here is the YouTube link:

sorry to be one of those people, but is there any chance soeone who knows what they're doing could upload this not in pptx? it looks cool but I am living behind the times...

Thanks for the post...there's also the Thomas Orr whole thread so might be useful to repost this there so that way all the people who are using that book will access it easier since it'll eventually get lost among all the other middle school lesson plans...

Here is the .ppt version. I can't promise it will have the same functionality as a .pptx.

Lesson 5 - Think Positive
A lesson on optimism, pessimism, and positive thinking.
Includes, a video, personality quiz, discussion of the benefits of positive thinking, brief discussion of the language point, and an exciting writing game. Very successful lesson for me.

Grade 3 Lesson 6 part 1 - The river rises

Thank you for your PPT and handout Epistemology. I've tabelized the worksheet if anyone's interested. The kids will do it as a gluing or taping activity. I'm hoping it'll get them negotiating meaning in English. I'm attaching your worksheet as the Key.

Grade 3 Lesson 5 Blazing Pens Review

greyskymornings · « **Reply #299 on:** June 21, 2011, 11:03:43 AM »

Hey guys,

Our finals are pretty early this year (they start next week) so I've made a couple quick review sheets for our upcoming tests. They're not totally comprehensive of every grammar point from 4, 5 and 6 but cover a lot of major stuff that we do.

Hope they're useful!

(Side note: I make all my worksheets on ppts, because I think it's easier to deal with than word. The grade 1 worksheet is slide 1, and the grade 2 worksheet is slide 2.)
