Since there's nothing here I'll share what I've got.

This is for page 156 only. The target language is: "What do I need to do to..." and "You need to..."

The worksheet is formatted to print 2-sided and to be cut in half; you'll get 20 worksheets out of 10 printed pages.

The only real challenge was forcing the students to participate during the videos, when they should be filling in the worksheet.

Some students had a hard time following the videos, so at Co-T's suggestion I dropped them from my last group, and played Heads Up 7-Up, using target-language prompts for the heads-down students who are "it." That worked well.

Part 2, page 157. Target language: "I'm looking forward to taking a trip."

I try to get the students to find my grammar error on slide 14 (missing period) to help prep them for the required correct punctuation in the running dictation game.

After the worksheet, students practice asking each other "What are you looking forward to?" and "Why?"

Then we play 2 rounds of running dictation. I have groups of four; one student writes and the other three run and dictate. The dialogues are from the back of the textbook, modified to 3 parts.

2nd grade of the same chapter has a connect four activity. I stole the idea and made it for third grade. You can find the explanation ppt over there.

Explain as Tic Tac Toe (although my students kept calling it BINGO for some reason...) and demonstrate with your CT. Explain that <your own> means their choice.

This is a 'choose your own adventure' game in which students guide the hero through his adventure. This game focuses on the expression 'What do I need to do to...' and 'You need to...'. I borrowed this game from another Waygooker a couple of years ago and simply edited the text for this chapter.

This is the ppt that I am using in conjunction with the 'choose your own adventure' game I posted above. My students have already studied jobs, so I just focused on the two expressions in the textbook ('I'm looking forward to...' and 'You need to...'.

PART 1: First, I introduce the key expression and ask some questions about the picture on slide 2 (e.g. What is she looking forward to eating/drinking/doing? What kind of weather is she looking forward to having?). Then, we get right into using the expression in the 'Travel Game'. Students have to raise their hands and guess the country based on the picture hint, using the key expression 'I'm looking forward to taking a trip to...' or 'I'm looking forward to visiting...'. After a couple of incorrect guesses, reveal another hint. Points go to the team of the student who guesses correctly. I ask a bonus question at the end of each round (see slide comments), worth 1 bonus point.

PART 2: After briefly introducing the key expression, I play the 'choose your own adventure' game. If there is extra time, I go to part 2 of this ppt and get students to offer suggestions about what to do in each situation using "you need to...". Each suggestion gets a point for the team.

Here is my powerpoint for Lesson 9.

Games:
For the first half, I made a playlist on YouTube of really bad auditions. I then asked the students what advice they would give to the people using the target language "You need to ____." It worked out well enough. I also had a back-up listening exercise involving the song "How to be a Heartbreaker" from Marina and the Diamonds. However, there wasn't enough time for it.

The game for the second half is a sort of memorization exercise called The Name Game. It's fairly difficult actually, as the students really have to do a lot of talking (which is what you want of course). Students say what they are looking forward to doing in the winter. The next student then says what they are looking forward to as well as what the person next to them is looking forward to. This goes on for each student, except they have to say what EVERY student next to them is looking forward to. If a student messes up, they have to sit down. Winner gets a prize.

This game is right up my alley, my middle school boys only want to play video games all day every day, so this will totally grab their attention   :wink: the grphics are really beautiful so the girls in class will love it too!! Thanks for posting! ;D

 This is a fairly straight-forward lesson, the focus being on professions.
(50 minute lesson suitable for regular and low-level classes)
(Focuses on vocabulary needed to complete p 156 in textbook)

- 5 min   Intro (toss the ball to random students and ask what they want to be in the future)
- 5 min   Warm up quiz (word puzzles)
- 5 min   Group or class timed profession brainstorming
- 10 min Profession vocabulary crossword.
- 10 min Present and practice target vocab (again using ball)
- 10 min Textbook (p 156)
- 5 min   Reward video: "People are awesome". Can pause at random moments to ask class
              what they would need in order to do a particular stunt. Drives 'em crazy. :)


Crossword and ppt in attachments. Instructions on slide notes. Enjoy!


Class went over well, especially if you reward teams that complete tasks the fastest/best etc.
A good class to use with your favourite team point system!

This is a zombie virus game. You can find a ppt on here to explain it by searching I'm sure.

It's a class game speaking in pairs. All students get one slip of paper (I've put 4 on a sheet).

They mill about finding a partner and asking from column A (What are you looking forward to...) and answering from column B (I'm looking forward to...). The person asking writes the name of the person answering in the last column.

They have to speak to 6 people before they can sit down.

The twist is there are X# of secret zombies. The zombies can talk to as many people as they want.

In the end, reveal the zombies and ask students to raise their hand for each zombie they have on their paper. If any of the students have the name of a zombie student on their paper they are out. Also, whichever zombie killed the most students wins. Two zombies can kill the same person.
