Here's what I did for this chapter with my Intro power point named for the parts I was told to focus on, followed by a Kung Fu Panda game (borrowed template, god bless whomever), and with the quick Pee Wee Herman video, it is IN the ppt but needs to be in your file folder for it to work.

It seems to me there was at least one slide I did backwards (i.e. I gave them the answer and they had to come up with the question type of thing), so don't be too surprised if you see it.

Good luck.


*****I had mis-labelled the Panda game as L7 and have just renamed and re-attached it.****

My lesson is, again, very basic and cannibalized. It addresses the topic of experiences (in present perfect). I.e. "I have been to Mexico."

First is an overview of the grammar with travelling examples and a passport practice.
Then a discussion of past participles.
Next a Two Truths, One Lie game in teams (I have tried this individually with my students before, and it was difficult to get them all to do it, so I figure that if I have them do it in groups, at least one student will be able to organize their experiences and write them.)
And finally, person bingo. I saved this as optional for the end, since my students have done a lot of this sort of thing lately.

I added to the beginning of kingeudey ppt.  I made a section on "Have you ever.."
I will have the students learn the question "have you ever" and the verb that goes along with it, ie. seen/watched, read, been to, eaten etc.  Then i will have them make their own question and ask the class.  Students that answer "yes i have" will stand up. 

I've heard some teachers play the game "never have I ever..." but my kids are pretty low level and i think this would confuse them a lot.  But that's another fun idea to try!

Songs of Hope: Have you ever...

This is my second lesson for this chapter, so it includes a review cannabalized from Kingeudey on Hope, and then it goes into the past tense for Have you... It includes key phrases on both "Have you..." and "Have you ever...", uses an activity from the book, and then we play "Have you ever..." Bingo, which was kidnapped from Karenology's post for Lesson 9 of the Mark Brown text book, which contains some of the same key phrases.

Rhett and Link made a song that asks a bunch of "Have you ever" questions that might work for the first part of this chapter. The lyrics are a little hard for 2nd year MS but you could illustrate a few of the situations and they would probably enjoy it.

edit: I've attached illustrations for all of the sections of the song (except LOLSHTYWFOATYADYT)


Have you ever had someone wake you up
Just to ask you if you're awake?
Has somebody ever waved to the person behind you
But you waved back anyway?

Have you ever searched days for your lost shades
and then found them on your forehead?
Have you ever slept all night on top of your arm
and felt for sure they'd have to amputate it?

Have you ever not heard what someone said
so you asked em to repeat it again?
but then the second time you understood it even less
so you just smiled and nodded your head

Have you ever been about to sneeze, then you freeze
It's a tease and you look like you have an awful disease?
Have you ever had your face grazed by your own hair
But you thought it was a spider and you got super scared.

Have you ever? Have you everrrrrr? (Feel free to share)
Have you ever? Have you everrrrrr? (We've all been there)

(Have you) ever wanted a snack that you've never tried
So you bought a bag of air but there were chips inside?
Have you been fully convinced your belt was a snake.
Or dated relatives by mistake?

Have you ever LOLSHTYWFOATYADYT?

Have you ever shot through space on the back of a cat?
Or had a dinosaur laugh at you because of your cheese hat?

Have you ever woken up early,
finished your quarterly reports,
brushed your teeth,
taken a shower,
put on a suit,
eaten breakfast,
pulled out of your driveway
and then realized you don't have a job?

Have you ever been singing and opened a wormhole
In the middle of the chorus and it swallowed your soul?

Have you ever? Have you everrrrrr? (We've all been there)

update: I've updated the illustrations ppt to have all of the parts of the song except LOLSHTYWFOATYADYT.

I love your worksheet! It's hard to find good layouts and formatting on Waygook sometimes. I had a similar idea in my head but this looks way better than what I made! Just a couple tweaks to suit my students. Cheers!

Thanks, but the general outline of the worksheet was also stolen, haha. Someone else had a great idea.

Notes/edits for the worksheet: the present tense of "sang" should be "sing," and for "none of us have," a student asked me if it wasn't actually "none of us has." I've looked it up, and both are colloquially correct, so go with what you like best.

I really like the song posted above, but I think the vocabulary might be a little difficult for my students. I'm going to go with Celine Dion's 'Have You Ever Been In Love' instead because it's a little bit slower and simpler:

Have you ever been in love
You could touch the moonlight
When your heart is shooting stars
You're holding heaven in your arms
Have you ever been in love?

Have you ever walked on air, ever
Felt like you were dreamin'
When you never thought it could
But it really feels that good
Have you ever been in love?

Have you ever been in love
You could touch the moonlight
When your heart is shooting stars
You're holding heaven in your arms
Have you ever been in love?

The time I spent waiting for something
That was heaven sent
When you find it don't let go
I know...

Have you ever said a prayer
And found that it was answered
All my hope has been restored
I ain't looking anymore
Have you ever been...

Some place that you ain't leavin'
Somewhere you gonna stay
When you finally found the meanin'
Have you ever felt this way?

The time I spent waiting for something
That was heaven sent
When you find it don't let go
I know...

Have you ever been in love
You could touch the moonlight
You can even reach the stars
Doesn't matter near or far
Have you ever been in love?
Have you ever been in love?
So in love

New note on the 2 Truths 1 Lie game - my coteacher suggested that students write notes (key words) for each sentence from the other team (ie. We've all been to Jeju-do --> all/Jejudo). You also might allow lower-level classes to have Korean notes (or if the notes are all peoples' and places' names, it might make more sense to do that anyway). So they write notes, and then circle the number of the one they thought was the lie. This strategy worked well with one of my classes today, although we had to change it to the group reading their sentences two times.

TL;DR: 2 Truths 1 Lie game, have groups take notes on others' sentences, circle lie instead

Hello,

Reference: 'too' sentences

The introduction is quite personalised to me and my city, as are some of the questions in the game, so they will need to be changed. However, I think overall it all worked very well so on the introductory slides I would stick to a similar structure.

The game involves blowing up airplanes, tanks and soldiers. Being an all boys schools they loved it. I said the bullets destroy people, the black rockets destroy tanks and the red and white missiles destroy airplanes. You can make up your own rules. I downloaded a virtual di to my phone though which definitely made it more enjoyable for them. 1 and 2 was a miss, 3 4 5 and 6 were hits. The nuclear symbol gives them 5 shots at anything.

Regards,

Ian

Here is a quick and simple review activity for this particular chapter and just in a few sentences.

I'll print them off and chunk them up and have my students in teams put the words back in the correct order.  It will likely be very easy for them, but ya never know. 

The only prep will require printing them off and then cutting them up into 1, 2, or 3 word groups.

Worksheet for p124c and p125c.

No PPT, played bingo as the follow-up activity (actually, there was no time!).

Bless this Kung Fu Panda game. It really seems great. And even if it's too long for my class time, I can definitely use it for a review.

Also, I chose to do "Have You Ever..." I put the students in a circle minus one chair. One person stands in the middle and says, "I have _____." Everyone who HAS done that must stand up and find a seat. The person who is left without a seat starts the game again. It worked okay for the students though we didn't have enough time for everyone to play. They also needed quite a bit of translation for the rules.

Here's my powerpoint.

Lesson 8, part 1.

This lesson went well with all of my classes. I modified someone else's ppt and played a bingo game that the students had to work for. :)

I recently tweaked the second lesson I had for this, and my students have really liked the game, so I'm going to post it.

Contents:
- How are you? (if bad, why?)
- Introduction to "I hope"
- "I hope" practice
- Worksheet (optional song - "I Hope You Dance")
- Telephone Game (I called it "Whisper Race")

The telephone game works the usual way, except the student at the end of the team hears the "I hope" sentence and must choose what it is a response to. I.e. they hear "I hope you find it" and have to hold up the paper that says "I lost my cat."

I tried to make it a bit tricky by having some in past and present, and two people being sick (she/my grandmother, I/I). Those ones usually get them in the beginning.

The attached paper slips for the game have two sets on each page, to save paper.

Here's an alternate game for talking about experiences and using the past participle. Even better, your students probably already know this game! (Thanks to rocketeerjoe for the idea, with their "Are you a spy?" game.)

"Mafia" (with experiences)
- students get cards; they are either in the mafia or are a citizen
- cards show their experiences (mafia have all of the experiences, citizens have 1-4 out of 5)
- at night, mafia wake up to kill someone
- in the day, 5 questions are asked. Anyone can ask anyone. ("Have you...?")
- they use their cards to answer (so mafia members will say yes to all questions)
- students can vote to kill/kick out someone they think is mafia
- mafia/citizens win if they eliminate all members of the other side
