Blazing pens!

My students know quite a bit of foods , so for a fun activity we played a reading speed game about food - each slide has a clue and they try to guess in 30 seconds. We played individually but you can adjust to teams. Here's the link to lesson details and free PPT download: http://mrsbaiasclassroom.blogspot.kr/2015/06/do-you-want-some-more-reading-hints-at.html

Happy Teaching!

Do you want us to register at that site that badly?  Because that's the only way to download that ppt. 

Here is a homework assignment I gave to my students to go along with the earlier part of the lesson. It uses some key words from the previous chapters too.

EDIT: Added a second homework assignment. This is heavy on writing and reading. They must unscramble the sentences and fix the errors in written sentences.

Korean Taste Song for period 2 .

You can use this for pretty much anything. Just change the words. 

Each student has a role card and a point card. (Laminate the role card to use for other classes)
Students go around doing the dialogue with each other filing in the blank with their role card.  AFTER DOING THE DIALOGUE show the points to their partner. They will write it down on their point card.

Example Dialogue:
S1: May I take your order?
S2: Yes. May I have some ________?
S1: Sure. Here you are.
S2: It's delicious! It's ____________.  (or) It's too __________.

Period 3 powerpoint. The key sentence is : "Do you want some more?" ,so after

the showing ,I use a particular side dish and ask them .

I am not going to take credit for the ppt templates I used here for this chapter. I got it from the awesome guest speaker the GOE workshop had once upon a time...

Update for 2018
This year, I drew a really long line to the mother on the board. If the team gets the answer right on the first try, they get 3 steps, if it's the try, 2 steps, third or more try is 1 step. So if the yellow team starts the game and they guess correctly, on the first try, they get 3 steps. If they don't, it moves to the orange team. If they get it right, they get 2 steps (because it's the second try) and so on. We play a few rounds so they understand, then we play a bonus round until the end of class. The bonus round is the same as before (first guess is 3 steps, second guess is 2 steps, etc.) but they get bonus steps for the correct answer. If the answer is one of the food cards, 1 extra step, drink cards, 2 extra steps, and restroom is 3 extra steps. If the mother has bathroom and a team guesses it correctly on the first try, they get 6 steps!

This has worked much better than last year. I attached a PPT that has the  bonus round and practicing the expressions before you start the game (I just took the slides from another PPT that is posted on here, so thanks to the creator of that PPT.).

I haven't done this lesson yet, but I am going to post it anyway.

I really wanted to play "Mother, May I? ..." for this lesson, but my classes are too big.

(If you want to play "Mother, May I? ...", you can find the rules here:
http://www.wikihow.com/Play-%22Mother-May-I%22)

I adapted it to fit my class size. My classes are six rows of students that are in three columns (two rows in each column), so I am going to have three teams (my class will be Yellow team, Red team and Orange team). One student will be randomly chosen to be the mother. I will give each team one Mother, May I... document. One student will look at it, choose one, and ask the mother the question. The mother will choose a card from the Mother card document (these need to be cut and I am putting them in a bag and the mother will pick one out of the bag).

If the student gets it wrong, the mother will say, "No, you may not," or "Sorry, you can't," (depending on the card). Then, the next team will get a chance to ask, and so on.

If the student gets the question right, the mother will say, "Yes, you may," or "Sure, here you are," or "Help yourself,"(depending on the card). Then, the mother will go back to their team and the student who got the question right will become the mother, and so on.

On the board, I will put a photo of an angry mother (from the Angry Mother drama haha!). I am going to put three lines on the board next to angry mother. Each line will have a colored magnet; yellow, orange, and red, one for each team. When the team gets the question right, I will move their magnet closer to the mother. The team who is closest to the mother at the end of the game is the winner! That is my adaptation from the original game, instead of students taking real steps toward the mother, the magnet will do it on the board.

I have no idea how it will go yet, I will post an update after we play tomorrow.
 
I am playing this for period 2. I have to thank jblant01 because I used their scans from their 5-5-2 PPT to make this game and I couldn't have made the game without the scans. Thank you jblant01!

Update I have done the lesson a few times, it is going well and the students like the game. The only issues I had were, for the first class, I drew lines with four big steps to the mother on the board. One team made it there quickly! So, I drew a longer line with more steps for the other classes.

The biggest issue was the mother showing the card to the students. It wasn't on purpose, they are excited to be the mother and don't pay attention to the card (they were doing things like fanning themselves with it).

During the second class, some students in the front claimed they could see what was on the card, even though I glued to another piece of paper to avoid that.

We solved all of this by putting the card on a clip board and telling the students to keep it close to their body.

In conclusion, I am happy with how the lesson turned out. The students think it is exciting and they are speaking!

Enjoy!
