Again another general lesson plan for Lesson 3. Hope it's useful for some of you... or at least, makes your co-teacher a little happier.

Here's a complete lesson, including a typhoon template I made:

I hope it's useful to you.

A game to review the target language of the topic. They have to comment on the weather/ how they're feeling and also make a suggestion. Hope it's ok!

So the beginning is just a game I promised my kids. Hope the lesson is good! I borrowed some materials from the above .ppt. Thanks :) They were great!

I thought I'd share my lesson for this chapter because it got insanely good reactions from both students and coteachers, so hopefully it will do the same for you. It's for an all boys' middle school so the PPT is very idol-heavy. Pictures are more to draw attention back to the front of the room and off of individual conversations anyway and aren't particularly lesson relevant, so feel free to swap them out.

There's also a few worksheets to go along with it. This is for about three lessons with the same class and covers the whole chapter.

@miscreantinblack, your kpop girls were a big hit!  Even in my mixed gendered class.  They all got a big kick out of having to introduce themselves as pop stars.

Double-sided worksheet for this chapter.

Can anyone explain how the typhoon weather game works?

So. You click on a pin. it goes to a page. you have to fill in the blanks based on the picture that appears. After completion of the dialogue, a symbol comes up based on slide two. They include: save the people, people die, attack people and change people. People is synonymous with points. save ppl is gaining points. you can gain 1-5 points. people die is you lose points. attack ppl means you can probably steal points from another team. and change points means change points with another team. If i use this, change points will be contingent upon a rock paper scissors game. lastly, after the symbol appears showing the points, you click on the cyclone/tornado symbol to go back to the home page and then the next team picks another pin.

My first part to lesson 3. Introduced 3 idioms. under the weather, raining cats and dogs, and walking on sunshine. then went over weather and feelings to form the structured language of Speak part A. I used the typhoon game above but changed the language a little to be more consistent with what I thought was necessary for my speaking class. The second part of lesson 3 will be next week. i'll introduce the key expression: why don't we" and practice with Speak part B. I'll upload part b later.

(First attempt at lesson plan posting, hope this works!)

The powerpoint should be attached. Based upon the first exchange in the "speak" section of the book.

First slide is a world map; ask students "Where do you want to go?" There are eleven options across six continents highlighted. Clicking on the link will take you to a slide titled with a large city in the relevant country, and four given months (one roughly in each season). Ask students, "When do you want to go?" Clicking on the relevant month will take you to an image of the relevant city in the relevant month. Ask students "What's the weather like?" and "How are you feeling?"

It should be pretty self explanatory with the powerpoint. I hope. There's a total of forty four different options, so the students should be able to find different pictures pretty quickly. I'm not a powerpoint wizard, but I think it'll be a bit more exciting than just clicking through slides. Let me know how students like it?
