Here's my powerpoint for Lesson 4. To play the horse race game: each team has a horse taped up on the board in a line. The board is divided into 9 sections. I have 9 envelopes, each with a sentence cut up into individual words. The teams have to race to correctly write the sentence (spelling counts), then have one student show me their sentence.When a team has a sentence written correctly, their horse moves ahead one section. The first team to have all sentences correctly written is the winner. They go nuts for this game.I accidentally deleted my sheet with the sentences, but they are all variations of the sentences we reviewed in the lesson. Off the top of my head, I remember:This is the pool where I learned to swim.March is when we start school.I think Minsu is very cute.December 25th is the day we celebrate Christmas.Why do you say so?USA is the country where I was born.I think the KIA Tigers will win.Let me know if it is still confusing!

If so, how can one team write all the sentences, if the envelopes are distributed between all the teams, so no one team will have all the sentences?sorry if that is a dumb question!

If so, how can one team write all the sentences, if the envelopes are distributed between all the teams, so no one team will have all the sentences?sorry if that is a dumb question!It's not! I have the same question. Would an envelope be placed on each table, and every team would have to go to each table to unscramble a sentence? I have 42 students per class, so that'd be way too chaotic for me... Maybe each team can have all of the sentences but instead of being cut into words they'd be cut into phrases? i.e., (USA is the country) (where I was born.) (I think the KIA Tigers) (will win.) etc.
Here is the online link for that chapter in the book. http://textbook.doosandonga.com/update/mid_grade3_eng_kim/E-Book/textE-Book/EBook.htm?page=51
I used animal videos to practice the "Who do you think will win?" part. I wrote some vocab on the board (biggest, fastest, biggest horns, stronger, etc.) and gave students a very simple worksheet to fill in as we go along. I'd start with the first slide "Bear vs puma" and ask random students who they think would win. They had to fill in the whole worksheet, discussing the attributes of the animals as we went along. At the end, I played a gambling game where every student had $10 and they had to bet on the animals before I showed the clip. They went wild for it. Hope it helps.
