This is a thread for any lesson material for Middle School English 3 Lesson 5: The Rajah's Rice.  Please share your contributions here~!

I teach middle school, and I found that even the high level students didn't know the names of the oceans (Pacific, Atlantic, etc.)  So, I taught them that last week.  I was think to do in conjuction with the lesson, a game of "Where in the World Am I?"  Give the students a series of clues, and they have to guess where you are looking forward to visiting.

Lesson on As you wish!

Students have a chance to make a poster and present it to the class. Makes for fun classroom decor!

This is my lesson. I have to students pick 4 of the phrases from section one to write at the bottom of the page and we play a crude kind of bingo as we go over the answers for matching. Also check understanding of: nap and lose weight

Sheila,
Great Prezi! I use .ppt and I would like to use the video from your presentation. Could you post the link please? My googling skills are falling short on tracking down that exact video. Thanks!

I'm sorry I also can't find the link for that video. I've tried to take it out of the prezi too but it doesn't work. Sorry~!

Here is my prezi for an intro lesson. It goes over the two phrases: "I'm looking forward to ____" and "Could you give me some tips."

Group speaking activity: Give each group a whiteboard with a marker. Then I ask them the questions and give them 2-3 minutes to write down an answer. Afterwards, all groups will share their answer.

Role play activity: Separate word doc. still working on that. If anyone needs it when I'm done lemme know.

For my advanced students, so I skimped on the explanations b/c it is fairly easy for them. Role-Play is the main part of this lesson...

with a little help from you guys here's mine :)

Here is my Prezi for the "Can you give me some tips" part of the lesson.

For the activity at the end, print out the document and cut in to strips. Half the class will have a problem, and half the class will have the advice. They need to walk around the room and find their match (Make sure they are speaking English and not just looking at the other person's paper!). If they think they found their match, they need to check with the teacher before they sit down. This activity usually takes about 15 min. If there's extra time left, I have the students read their sentences to the class with their match.

I used one of the bomb games. I put in random pictures of funny situations and each team had to give me tips on how to solve the situation.

can you please upload that, i'd really like to see that!
