My classes are pretty straight laced.... not big on the bomb games, videos, etc.  This is the first part of my lesson.  I did make some changes from the book and pointed out some less than obvious things.  These are the two big things:

1.) making note of "been" as a past participle of the word go in the situation/dialogue given in the book

2.) changing the use of the word "wish" to future tense, because one rarely says "I wish I can..." in English; typically when one makes use of the word "wish" it is to imply something happening in the future.

This lesson includes a warm up game, another simple game involving the instructor providing one word and the students forming a sentence using the key expressions, and book material.  I also have included "points" into this lesson, as this is part of my reward system for class.

FYI, if you're using the most up-to-date version of PPT, you'll need to adjust this as it was made in 2007 PPT on my office computer.

A simple powerpoint, game and worksheet for this chapter

Here are two worksheets I made for this lesson. I haven't used the writing worksheet, yet. Not sure if I will, but maybe you can use it or make it better, whatever you want.

***And another thing. I thought it would be cool to show Brandy's "Have You Ever" video because there's tons of the expression used in that song. I have the Korean lyrics, but when I try to use Wordpad to add subtitles, it didn't come out. Anyone know of any other way to add subtitles that Google didn't find that doesn't require paying for a program?

Listening and speaking portions of lesson 7.

For the "have you ever" game, give each group one set of cards.
