Roleplay Script for Chapter 3.

I'm not sure how you do your scripts for 3rd graders who cannot be expected to read yet, but this is how I do mine (ie: a comic more than a script) so I hope someone else can get some use. In PDF due to font embedding and printing issues (no MS Word license parked on the printing PC, would you believe!) I let the students draw their own frame 8.

Paul - This seems like a great idea...since my book is not Bomi, Buzz, etc I don't have the same Role-Play but am wondering exactly what steps you take to instruct/guide the Role Play using this comic idea. Do you have students listen, then repeat, then add some pictures then perform? Just curious - I'd also love to know if you've used it in your class and how well your students/co-teachers responded...Thanks!

Great for this and that

Grade 3: What's this?

A ppt I used for students to review different classroom items.

here is my lesson for pages 30 and 31 with a board game I hope it helps.

My students love this guy. Enjoy!

This a very simple game which requires no preparation and can be used as a filler at the end of a lesson. The students seemed to really enjoy it. The teacher thinks of an object, it can be one of the target language for this unit such as a house or pencil, etc. or any object you think the students will know. As an example, I chose a ship. I drew one line to represent the side of the ship and asked 'what's this?' The students had to put up their hands and answer with a sentence, 'it's a --------' I let them guess for a bit and then I drew a funnel and asked again 'what's this?' Again, I let them guess saying full sentences. If nobody guesses correctly I drew a wavy line to represent the sea. Keep drawing until the picture is complete or a student has answered correctly. I gave the student who guessed correctly a piece of candy. Then start again with a new object. If you have students of a reasonable level you could even get one student to do the drawing and ask 'what's this?' but check first what they are drawing to make sure the other students will be able to guess the object.
