This is my lesson for the Listen and Speak 1 of Lesson 4. Since Listen and Speak 2 is all about idioms, I'm only briefly introducing the concept of idioms in this lesson since "It's a steal" and "on cloud nine" are used in the dialogues.

The activities I created are related to the Disney/Pixar animated short "Sanjay's Super Team" which you can find in full here: https://vimeo.com/159036517

Lesson Plan:
1. Do the Listen and Speak 1 dialogues and discuss the key phrases with the class.
2. Powerpoint that briefly covers idioms, a couple Korean idioms so they get the idea and the two English ones used in the dialogues, and finally how to use "Have you heard?"
3. Show the class "Sanjay's Super Team."
4. For my level A and B classes, I did the newspaper headline handout so they can practice using "Have you heard?" First I showed them my example, then had them make their own newspaper article.
5. For my level C classes, I used the smartphone handout that asks 3 "have you heard" questions and requires the students to choose the right answer.

Here is my lesson, it worked pretty well. It is mostly catered for boys, since I'm at an all boys school. I changed the go fish idea to use pictures and not words, the pictures are the same as in my ppt presentation. I omitted the "that" because I tend to not say it when I speak :P, but obviously with formal speech you should say that. So you can do what you want.

*Note* I did the presentation until the "Next...." slide and then explained how to play go fish and let them play. I took my cards back in the last 3 mins and if there is some time left I'd go to the Idioms slide and tell them that next time we will do Idioms.

I printed the go fish 2 to do about 6 cards on 1 page. It's a lot of cutting work xD

*note*
I omitted the articles a few times because I did the sentences in pieces and didn't think about it when I did the text box. So just correct it.

MATERIALS

1. "Giant Tic Tac Toe Board - Idioms"
This excel file is for playing a game I call Giant Tic Tac Toe. My students like to basically think of it as a mash of tic tac toe and bingo. A team gets a point for getting a certain number of squares in a row. They also want to block the other team(s) from getting a complete set. To win the square, the students can either say what the idiom means in English or correctly use it in a sentence/situation. You decide which or modify to match your students. You could even make the squares have one or two words from which the teams must say the idiom. For example, the square could simply say "nine" and the students would need to say "on cloud nine." Now that I type that, I may try that myself. (Thanks for helping the creative juices flow by existing as a forum for sharing ideas and materials.)
NOTE: Just in case this is not clear, you change the color of the square to match the team's color when they win it.

2. "S G2 L4 Idioms Hidden Pictures [template by waygook user teacher_del]"
This is fairly self-explanatory ppt game. @teacher_del provides an explanation at the end of the ppt file.

MAYBES
(as in ideas for which I have yet to do any work)

1. I really like the idea of a Go Fish! game. I think I will make one using idioms.

The conversation for students would go something like this:

Person 1: Have you heard of the idiom "________________"?

Person 2: [If the other student has the card] Yes, I have.

               [If the other student doesn't have it] No, I haven't. What does it mean?
                                                        --> Person 1: It means "______________."

If I make those cards (and an explanatory ppt), I will post them....or if someone else wants to, that would be grand.  8) 8)

2. Comic Strips
I will go online and find some comic strips with empty speech bubbles. I will give small groups of students a comic strip and instruct them to choose at least 2 of the idioms on the boards to insert into their comic's dialog.
