Clap game using key expression for this lesson. Learned at EPIK orientation. quick instructions. Have students get in a circle. student 1 says the first word of the sentence and the next student says the next word of the sentence. When you get to the end of the sentence, the next student starts at the beginning again. As you move slides, symbols are added. Symbols correspond with actions e.g. circle is jump. When a word has a symbol on a word, you have to simultaneously say the word and do the action. Double and triple actions are eventually added. If a student fails or makes a mistakes, tell them to sit down. Choose the last few i.e. 5 of 26 for me, as the winners. Can take a long time if your not concise with your instructions, or if you have too many kids. works better for 15-20 students i'd say.

Here is an intro lesson I made that goes over the key phrases for the lesson. After I have them write the sentence structures in their notebooks, I have a few pictures that they will then make use with the phrases they learned in groups of two. If they are easily distracted and  not doing this, I will have them write a sentence/mini dialogue for each picture in their notebooks (my students are a pretty high level for the most part, so doing this shouldn't be a problem without much guidance from me). Next, I will have the students make a poster on b4 sized paper presenting something from their country to the rest of the world. I will have them draw pictures and write an explanation of whatever topic they choose. After, they will present to the class.

Here are some sentence puzzle pieces. Just cut them out and the kids can arrange them to make sentences using the key phrases.

I think this ppt will help students to practice "seem to". Have fun with it!!!

Mirokii, this might be a dumb question but for the connect 4 game, what questions do the kids have to answer in order to place their coloured marker? I can see the pictures at the top of the board but I don't understand how they relate. Aslo, as there is only one picture above each row, what happens when students start to pile up coloured markers? I know how to play actual connect 4 but I've never played it as a game for teaching. Is this for the "would you like" section or the "I appreciate" section of this chapter?

Sorry for the stupid questions.

Hello.

Week 1:
I have taken the ppt from Schellib39 and edited so that it flows nice and slowly for my lower level kids. I also added a short "reveal the picture" guessing game where they guess the action as you reveal a block. I ended with a 10-15min game of pictionary, where they have to draw the word on the slip of paper and their teams have to guess with "Would you like a/an/some/ ____". This is just as an intro for the chapter key phrases and grammar points to take note of.

Week 2:
More picture prompts to elicit responses. Use this time to go over "seems to be" vs "seem to be", "some cake" vs "a piece of cake", the term "fan merch" as short for merchandise, "a haircut" vs "this haircut" etc. Then I played the Hot Potato/Pass the Ball game that Mirokii posted above.

Week 3:
We always finish the chapter by doing the Listen and Real Life Scene sections of the textbook. It takes about 20/25 min. With the rest of the class, I opened with Broken Telephone as a warmer. The kids play in their columns. I have the back row come to me and read a sentence from the textbook. When I say Start! they race to pass the sentence down their column to the front, where the front row has to stand up and write the sentence on the board. Make sure there's enough chalk for each team, an a designated writing space, or it gets violent.
Then I stole user Traveler's ppt slides for the song at the end of the chapter, and created a short word-gap worksheet to go with it. We listened to the song, filled in the worksheet with the ppt's help, and then listened to the song again, reading along.

Thanks for giving me enough powerpoint material for week 1 guys!  I needed more material for week 2 so I made a powerpoint and a worksheet.  I'm using this lesson next week.  If you guys have any ideas on how to improve my powerpoint let me know or post changes.
