For the grammar in this unit we talked about 4 ways to form exclamations. On the board I wrote:

1.       What a(n)   +  adjective   +  noun!
2.       What a(n)   +  adjective   +  noun +    it is!
3.       How  +  adjective!
4.       How  +  adjective  +  the  +  noun  +  is!

 Examples:
***Beautiful flower
What a beautiful flower!
What a beautiful flower it is!
How beautiful!
How beautiful the flower is!

***Exciting game
What an exciting game!
What an exciting game it is!
How exciting!
How exciting the game is!

The writing sheet has six examples on it so I gave one to each group to write 4 exclamations, which they then shared with the class. Then we played the Exclamations Lucky Wheel game for more practice and review.

Listen and Talk 1: How Interesting!

In the beginning of the ppt I have the School House Rock video on adjectives. I included the video, but you might have to re-link it as it's not all in 1 folder and ppt likes everything to be in the same place.

I borrowed a LOT from mjmartens game but remade it in Dajeon's Fruit Ninja style. I also only used the 2 types of exclamations used in the book:
1: What a(n) adjective noun!
2: How adjective!

For the game, I'd accept different answers from the ones I gave as long as they make sense with the photo and don't continuously use the words "fun" and "great."

Listen and Talk 2
(I have an open class to this one so any feedback in the next week would be awesome.)

This looks like an awesome lesson. Good luck!

Hey! I think your lesson looks great! Just make sure with open class you have the students all talk. I had mine last week and have gone to a few at other schools. The students should do more talking then you. My co-teacher also said we needed to have something writing related. so we did a unscramble the sentences and had them do it as teams and post the answers on poster board. We had a good review! I think your PPT is excellent, and the game is great - I would suggest with the game, get each student to answer a question?! Good Luck!!!

I'm having problems downloading the How Interesting Game.

Has anyone else had problems downloading it ?

I'm having problems downloading the How Interesting Game.

Has anyone else had problems downloading it ?

It's downloading fine for me... I don't know why there is a problem for you... All I can suggest is to try again?

maybe add the names of different kinds of parties. Bachelor, baby shower, anniversary, ect

Thanks for the suggestion. I was trying to think about different things to look forward for, I am not sure if my students know bachelor party.... but baby shower/anniversary are good ideas ;)

I'm trying to use the Fruit Ninja game, but it says you drag and drop fruit for the score page, but it's not working. Anyone know how to fix this?

I'm sorry to say that I don't know how to fix it... The game is from Daejeon's template found here:
http://waygook.org/index.php/topic,9490.0.html

i am also unable to download the game or even the ppt.  it goes through the process and then just doesn't open.

my school computer was using an antiquated version of IE.  for some reason it wouldn't open some ppt, but everything is golden with chrome.  gold chrome?

For the adjectives lesson, I did mad libs. The kids get a kick out of their "crazy sentences" once they figure out what they are doing. We did a short lesson on adjectives (already posted here... take your pick) and then reviewed nouns and verbs, then we did a quick mad lib as a class. Then I passed out this paper and had them all create their own mad libs.
