PART 1 - PERMISSION

This is my permissions lesson for part one of unit 3.  I made some alterations from an earlier version I posted.  I begin with the presentation, then we will play an altered "Go Fish" game that I made where the students ask the questions instead of asking for a particular number.  It worked really really well, the kids got into it and were actually using all the target language, it ended up taking about 20+ minutes (well worth the work in my opinion). 

I never had time for my other two activities, but if you don't want to print out all those Go Fish cards, I have rows and columns (this game is my new favorite, the kids absolutely love love love it!!!), see my lesson plan for instructions.  I also have eight ball: students write a funny/crazy "may I" "can I" question in their textbook and we will see what answer the eight ball gives them.  I found the game on waygook, unsure where.   Hope this helps!

fn8Thanks for the cool ball game.

My PPT and worksheet for Unit 3 Part 1.

Pretty straightforward.

Edit: Lesson ran a bit short, I just played a pass the ball activity to kill the last few minutes at the end. One student asks for permission and throws the ball to another student, that student catches and answers. Repeat. There are any number of good activities that would work well, though. I'm not going to bother adding one to the PPT or uploading an additional activity PPT.

This lesson plan has gone amazing well. I edited it a bit and added more explanation about how to play the game, but my co-teacher are all in love with the Go Fish game. Many want to play it in their class now. The cards were a lot of work to print out and play, but it was still great fun! I'll upload my ppt once I finish teaching it and editing out all the kinks. Thanks again for the amazing lesson!

Thank you awise923 and troly ... I really appreciate it! :)

Ya Go Fish is a ton of prep!  But I'm happy with how it turned out, and I'm hoping I can use it again with my grade ones or threes later on in the year! 

It might be of note to let your students know that if they master this construction, next year, they will have an easy time with the 1st chapter, as it is nearly identical in the new book for Gr 3.  The second part of Gr 3 L1 in the Yin books deals with a problem and advice, using, "I think you should..."

So, while it might not all be the exact same, there are some materials out there.  I know the Haas book (I don't recall what Grade or Chapter) had this as well.  Materials to be had for sure.

Can I - random point game
-ask students "What are they doing?"  "How can they ask?" to elicit target phrase
-In teams students will choose their answer and write on a white board or say
-Points are awarded accordingly

"You can't __________ now.  You should __________ first." Bingo game with interactive board
-Students choose 5 random boxes and write the full corresponding sentence in each.
-Teacher rolls dice and calls number.  Students read the sentence.
-First student to have all 5 sentences completed is the winner.

Minesweeper-2 levels
-Use the target dialogue to choose a square - uncover points or a bomb

Ahh, I'm so surprised everyone is having such success with the Go Fish game.  I knew getting them to understand was going to be a nightmare, including my coteacher.  I even added extra instructions and tried to make it more clear.  I'm about to "explain" again to my ct so that maybe she will be able to explain it to our next two classes.
