Here's my lesson plan for "Traveling in Korea". You will want to change Slides 3 and 4 to have information about your school.

The "Timed Activities" game would be better if your school has stopwatches...mine doesn't.

Let me know if it works for you, if you have any questions, or any ideas for improvement!

This is a Price is Right type of lesson, where the kids bid (without going over) on times and distances between places (local and international). There are 14 game slides, you might want to change the subway slides (first two) which are relevant to where my school is. I have no idea how long the game will take, you could always cut the game short but should work well for repetition of the key phrases for the lesson.

It has no intro to the phrases, I'd suggest using Shiela's ppt for that, as that's what I'm doing.

Oh, and my bare bones lesson plan.

Oooh, I'm really looking forward to some Price is Right. Here's an introduction powerpoint that I've put together today. It has some nice pictures of places around Korea as well as focus on the key phrases in the speaking and listening section. I didn't include since, although, etc. because it is covered in the grammar section. If you are using an older version of Windows, you may want to change the font throughout as sometimes the font I use doesn't convert well. Enjoy folks~!

The activities on the last slide are exercise, cook, finish your homework, clean, walk to school, and put on your make up.

Very nice ppt. Can you save it as an older version? My pc seems to be having trouble with it. Thanks.

Okay the ppt version is now available along with an explanation of the last slide. See above!

To make it a bit more challenging and to interest some of the kids that like Maths, it could be a good idea to use some speed/distance/time word problems. Here are a few:

http://www.analyzemath.com/math_problems/rate_time_dist_problems.html

Some of them are a little tough but these kids are Maths geniuses so if they can wade through understanding the English then I'm sure they'll be able to answer.

(Also, change the distances to km/h instead of mph)

I modified one of the lessons posted earlier to include a madlibs dictation activity at the end. There's also a review section at the beginning from the previous chapter, so feel free to change that. As a side note, we covered how to express disbelief in the previous lesson, which is why there's a lemur shouting "shut up." After they finished the activities in the book, I had them brainstorm a short list of words and write one word for each category. They're listed on the word file, which is exclusively for the teacher. I read each sentence one time as if I was talking to a native speaker, then I read them very slowly twice. Before I show the last slide, I let a couple of students take a stab at reading it to see if they got everything. I have to do each chapter for 2 consecutive lessons, so if anyone has any additional ideas for next week, don't be shy.

hey, great idea for an activity.

i was wondering, though -- are the students supposed to fill in their own words (that they've brainstormed)? If so, how are you supposed to read out the sentences?

thanks!

klorptar · « **Reply #11 on:** April 06, 2011, 05:10:08 PM »

Yeah, I explained to them that I would read the sentence, and they would write it with their word. When I read it and I get to the blank, I say "blah, blah, blah" and point to the number written on the board.

used the video from eat your kimchi today. the students really liked it. i explained how the video could be used to get tourists interested in exploring korea. i also had them write down places they recognized during the video. it is an amazingly shot video. really dig it

Boost · « **Reply #13 on:** April 07, 2011, 03:26:17 PM »

yea I also showed my students the video from eat your kimchi and they loved it. Thanks for linking the video.

I cut these out and put them in envelopes. Each "recipe" in a different envelope. This will be a part of the 2nd half (second week) of the lesson. In groups, assemble them in the correct order, then read aloud!

Here's my worksheet for the first week of this lesson.

The first part they have to use the map and ask each other how far it is to different places, using the distance key to roughly work it out. The second part they have been given the distances they have to work with and average speed of transportation and they have calculate how long each journey will take.

Neither of these activities actually provide answers that are right in the real world, but, they make them think, which is always a bonus. Hope this helps.

:) This was an AWESOME lesson plan! I improvised a lil and it worked like a magic! Thank you!

I loved the Price is Right post! Not only a great show, but a great format for this lesson! Well done.

Here's a powerpoint for eliciting all the language for the lesson and a slide for an interview that they can do in pairs.

hankmcmasters · « **Reply #19 on:** April 11, 2011, 10:57:08 AM »

i made a guess who type game for students to practice 'have you been to...?'

i'm also going to use maps of my school's area and rules to talk about distances, if anyone has any ideas on how to expand this idea, i'd appreciate it

and used a lot of slides from other people's ppt, so thanks everyone
