Here's a worksheet/ homework paper that I "threw together" after stumbling through the 1st lesson. Co teacher nor I had no clue as to what content etc to follow. And I've spent free class time searching through the CD. It's where this stuff was "copied & pasted" from. Hoping this book gets more exciting soon.

Here is what I did for the first half of chapter one about meeting and greeting people. First we did the CD-rom for page 10, then I broke my class into six teams so that every time someone answers they get a point. Team with the most points at the end gets a "reward buck" to be used at the end of the semester for prizes, such as candy. I let the kids not only answer what they have in the book; but I'm good, tired, hungry or when ending the conversation things like see you next week, see you tomorrow, pretty much anything they tell me gets them a point.

As the worksheet shows, they had a word scramble, which they love, I may make the next one longer. Then they practiced with a partner the conversations between President Park Geun-hye, Justin Bieber, Yoon Eun-hye and Lee Min-ho. Whoever at the end of class demonstrated the conversation with their partner also got a reward buck, but I didn't tell them that till I handed them out at the end of class. Next week I’m going to have them introduce their alien they create during class at the end.

Here is my lesson for part B...introducing others.

I did pages 11 and 12 in the book, before I introduced my family and friends. (Depending on time, I would drop people out.) I would leave about 13 minutes for them to draw and write about their own alien, four to draw or so, and then we played hot potato. Whoever had the potato when the music stops had to introduce their alien.

Enjoy...Note I just put place holders in for photos, so you need to add your own, or delete them.

Students are split into groups. They each get a picture from the document file. They must make a poster promoting the animal as the best pet. They list reasons. After all is done, they present.

My lessons are divided between speaking, reading, and writing with one class spent on each.
Here is my reading lesson.

1. Review greetings and introductions from previous lesson
2. Explain and recite the chapter's vocabulary with a whiteboard quiz for points
3. Read. For first graders, I tend to stick with read/repeat for at least the first semester as they get used to the routine.
4. Bomb game with comprehension/vocabulary questions

 I split my lessons into two days. This is usually after an introduction class. I have to use the first three pages of the book, but I try to squeeze in another activity for each day. For the first day, I have the students play a tic tac toe game using facts from my introduction in the beginning. For the second day, I talked about St. Patrick's day because it was around that time of year.

I made a few edits to ppt's above. I also reworked and made an alien introduction activity. When they introduced their aliens we played Hot Potato and I played music. They would use the ppt as assistance to introduce their alien to the class if they needed. My CT's and students really enjoyed the activity. Thanks to the other waygooks for their ppts.
