Here's what I'm doing for the first lesson of this period. It's an edited version I took from the first thread.

This is a complete lesson for Chapter 10, Part I.  It covers Listen & Speak 1.

My students just finished their midterms, and are in no mood for textbook material.  Nevertheless, the KTs are pushing forward, and so must I.  Typically I don't make my lessons this "gamey" but to avoid a rebellion I'm trying a different approach.

I warm the class up with a video from Mr. Pizza.  It's a satirical look at an alternate origin of pizza (hint: Jinju), and it has Korean subtitles.  Go through the "I'm not sure, but..." expression, and then on with the show.

The bulk of the lesson is called World Food Explorers.  It's a quiz-style game, 16 questions, teams of 3-4 students.  Each team gets a Team Card, which they use to answer the questions.  The lesson goes to several countries and shows popular foods.  I made sure to use a lot of high quality photos, just to keep their interests.  This PPT is derives heavily from a presentation by Jaeeson Teacha in the big thread; I simply redesigned it and cut it down a little.  Major thanks!

There is also a Food Memory Game, which is a good filler activity if the presentation ends short.  Students must match food to its country of origin.

There are notes on some of the slides in the PPTs.  I also provided links to the videos used in the PPT.  More information available in the lesson plan.

Listen and Speak Part 2: "As far as I know"

My students enjoyed the "What's in the fridge?" game and mostly participated quite actively. With 6 groups. it takes 20mins or just under. Idea taken from another site and adapted for the grammar of this lesson.

Instructions:
   Write on the board “What’s in the fridge?” and make sure they understand. Underneath that write "As far as I know, there is / are ___ in the fridge".
   Divide the students into groups of 4-6
   Write the number of each group on the board and underneath their number mark three lives - III.
   Students take it in turns to guess what objects you may or may not have in your fridge (or other location: living room, office, bathroom, desk, etc.) by making sentences of the form “As far as I know, there is/are ____ in your fridge."
   If the group guesses correctly move on to the next group; if they’re wrong then erase one of their lives and move on. If students don’t give an answer in 20 seconds then erase a life.
   Keep track of vocabulary that has already been guessed by writing it on the board.
   Last group alive is the winner. Give that group candy.

This is a complete lesson for Chapter 10, Part II.  It covers Listen & Speak 2, "I wonder ..." and "As far as I know, ..."

Unlike my last lesson for this chapter, this one goes the more traditional route.  Introduce "I wonder ..." as a way to ask a question using a statement (i.e. no question mark).  The introduce "As far as I know, ..." as a way to answer an "I wonder" question.

I thought it would be a good idea to show how "As far as I know" and Part I's "I'm not sure, but ..." can both be used to answer questions like "I wonder."  The difference lies in "I'm not sure" being more of an opinion rather than a fact, and "As far as I know" being used when you're 90%+ sure of your answer.  It seems to me that both of these expressions are basically the same, so this could all be just me trying to make more out of this lesson than exists.  There's got to be a reason that the authors put two identical expressions together in the same chapter, right?

I included a worksheet which reviews all three expressions.  Go over the answers with the class; for added speaking time, have the students read their answers aloud to practice the target language.  There is a second worksheet which can function as a kind of quiz activity, testing the students' knowledge of food origins.  Once again, you can have them use the target language to answer the questions (student added talking time).  I provided an answer sheet for the key expression worksheets; answers for the food origins are in the PPT.

For my class this week I also included the Food Memory Game that I posted above in Part I.  I never actually used this last week, as the World Food Explorers activity ran the full class.

Some slides in the PPTs have comments; more information available there and in the Lesson Plan.

PJ Blake, that food that you labelled as ham in the English breakfast is bacon. Not ham. An English breakfast definetly includes bacon.   :smiley:

I thought it looked similar to what we Yanks would call "Canadian bacon" or "fatback."  The American version of bacon is much thinner than the English variety.  I never really thought of it, I just went with the OP's version.  Thanks for the info, I'll have to change that for next time.

Another World Food lesson: I made this pretty conversation based. My students had studied lesson 10 for a few weeks already, so I wanted to do something fun and show them some cool and strange foods from around the world.

Put all the videos in the same folder as the PPT and it should work.

I used this with my class last week and they really seemed to enjoy the videos, especially the one about the NYC deli.

Great work on the game pj! I used it today in class, and the only problem was the map picture on the slide that says "World Food Explorers." One kid immediately saw that it said "Sea of Japan" on the map and this sent the classroom into a shitstorm. So for those of you who are thinking of playing the game, you might want to change the pic to avoid that situation.
