Got these resources from an old link and updated. Except for the Wheel of fortune, I just blocked out the slides that were relevant to old book. I didn't want to mess with the wheel links. But I used it today and it was a great game. Students played in teams and once they had some money they could buy a vowel.

Human Zero Game - as a class they read the sentence on the screen twice then I counted down from 5 and said 'up' they have to choose from 0 to 4 to stand, if their number standing matches the number that pops up on screen they get 100 points.

I made a simple game to go with the writing portion. Students choose one of the sentences to write, then they walk in the classroom. The group with the most students gets a point.

Various things including a language presentation for this chapter. PPT has word stress, sentence stress and a review table at the end.

The plan at present is to run through the Listen and Speak, the PPT and play a card game using the cards from the back of the book (rules below) in the second lesson, and then do the wordsearch and make posters in the fifth lesson.

Okay, so I made a few worksheets surrounding this ^^ I was a science teacher in the states so I'm really excited for this chapter!

Period 1: worksheet 1: basic new words.
Period 2: worksheet 2: how long until it dissolves?
Students guess how long they think the items will be in the ocean. After they are finished, you tell them how long they will really be in the ocean. The science isn't 100% foolproof for these but it is fairly close and my students love this kind of stuff ^^

Period 3 (or 4): worksheet 4: The tragedy of the commons
The masterpeice of this whole lesson. NOTE: THIS WILL TAKE TIME. but...it's WORTH IT!
you will need paper clips and each "team" will need one worksheet. teams of four works very well. I typed how to play in the notes for that slide...but brief lowdown:
each team choose one student (who can only use one hand) to be their fishing boat. Mass of paper clips is thrown on the ground in the middle of the students (keep some with you). when you start "fishing season' the "fishing boats" try and pick up as many fish as they can. each fish is 20$ profit.
taxes for each boat are $150 ea. and buying a new boat is $200. each "fishing season lasts 15 seconds. then they can count how many fish they have, subtract the tax, and buy boats if they want. They will buy more "boats"...trust me....they get money crazy. You throw about 50% of what is left on the floor, onto the floor as the fish "reproduce". fishing season starts again.

basically...they students get money crazy. buy more boats. fish more. so less fish reproduce. teams go bankrupt. fish population collapses, and an important lesson is taught.
I advise printing enough for one class. seeing what prices or how many paperclips need to be tweaked, and changing it to fit!

Worksheet #3-- Use or not. i will be making a ppt. to wrap the lesson up about garbage and animals and overharvesting etc. ^^ I'll upload it when I'm done!

So i made a ppt that talks about garbage, recycling, etc. Again, crazy science teacher does overkill haha

It's a little long, feel free to cut it shorter, and My coteacher is going to explain some of the more difficult ideas. You can make this easier or more difficult , up to you! I included a lot of pictures for them too :)

thank you for this! it saved me today - I was trying to come up with a good idea and failed, class is in 15 so this is perfect :)

I did this activity for review. This activity requires some prep and the help of your co-teacher so things go smoothly and quicker.

Objective: Complete all 8 tasks/challenges and get the 8 stamps. First two teams to finish all 8 tasks get a reward, but this is not necessary.

-Make groups, preferably 4 students per group
-Each group gets 8 "clue" cards (2 per student)
-I prepared 4 corners in the room, one corner for each clue
---We can turn off the lights : This is for charades, I printed out the cards from the charades ppt, put them in a "mystery hat", had the students draw a card without looking and then play charades with their group. Once the group guesses the correct answer they can come to you (you or your co-teacher) tell you the answer and they get a stamp.
---We can recycle bottles. I printed out the sentences, rolled them up and put them in plastic water bottles. I suggest you tape them closed, if they unfold inside the bottle, it might be difficult to get them out. Put them all in a basket in one corner of the room. Students have to grab a bottle, take out the rolled up piece of paper, complete the sentence, show you and get a stamp.
---We can recycle paper: Printed out the little paragraphs, folded them, and put them in a box with a little bit of paper scraps in, just to mix it up a bit. The students have to fix the errors then go to you and read the sentences correctly.
----We can save water: This is a speaking activity. For this, I used the picture cards for chapter 12 in the back of the book, then asked the students "What can we do for the Earth?", showed them a card and had them answer accordingly.

By "you" I meant you or your co-teacher

As this chapter is about recycling and saving the earth, I tried to reuse as much as I could. I have a small basket full of scrap paper which came in super handy for this activity. Also, I brought some plastic bottles from home.
My students had a lot of fun, nobody complained, no one argued, it was great.
If you have any questions please PM me, I'll get back to you quicker that way.

Key Expression PPT that I made for this chapter.

It covers all the textbook key expressions for lesson 12 and the animations are set so that you can use it to quiz the students (show the picture, let them guess the expression before showing it).

Enjoy~

Whaaattttt...Ted ed now has animated videos with Korean subtitles available??

Science just became easiieerr

So these 2 videos are about penguins and sea turtles and talk about how our interference has cut survival rates.

penguins:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGhknFzrnXg
talks about global warming and overfishing a little

sea turtles:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-KmQ6pGxg4
doesn't get into specifics about how exactly our involvement has hurt their existence, but still fun to watch.

Thanks for the ideas Smackle! I was looking for an interesting and thematic extra activity for a stations lesson this unit and your sentences in bottles/paper scraps idea went down a treat. We cut up sentences written on various coloured strips and hid them in amongst the recyclables. The students had a blast rifling through snack boxes full of shredded old school newsletter and rattling around plastic bottles trying to read the words within and patched up a lot of their word order problems at the same time. I slapped in "We should recycle water." as one of the sentences, which led the students to ask me about the topic of water recycling, hehehe. (Hat tip to Donovan.)

We also did Charades as one of our three stations (the third was a word search), but with each station clocking in somewhat longer at 10-12 minutes, we used a slightly larger pool of sentences which is attached below.

This activity is pretty popular with my students, they always say it's hard but they still get excited once they start.

So I have 20 students in my class. Everyone receives something that starts with "You should...", then they have to find their group with the similar solutions. For example "You should save water" and "You should save energy" go together but "You should get a tutor" doesn't.
Once they find their group- give them a scrambled sentence of what the ACTUAL problem (oh no! the earth is very sick) (oh no I can't find everland (kids had big problems with this one, I would suggest hinting the second half is land)

have them write the unscrambled sentence and all the solutions (for extra hardness, make all members of the group write it!)
it takes maybe 20 minutes, but I'm planning on doing it one more time because I'm mean.

Oh also! You may need to define certain words for me that was fail, tutor, play less, and I also redefined bear just in case. Use your judgment!

I advise printing enough for one class. seeing what prices or how many paperclips need to be tweaked, and changing it to fit!

Having now run this with a few classes as a bonus lesson, I'll throw down some feedback on how it went and recommended tweaks.

Three classes drove the species to extinction. I'd keep "finding" a few extra fish hiding under the desks in the corner, but we couldn't keep that up season after season and had to wrap up. In one class, a few students shrugged and said "We can eat hamburgers." In future I'd consider framing the activity such that the teams "live" on small islands. They'd have to "eat" four fish every round before selling the rest. If they don't have four fish to eat, they are too hungry and it triggers game over the same as bankruptcy. This also removes the need for a contrived "can't sell your last boat" rule.
Use paper cups to represent the boats. It makes it easy to keep tabs on who has how many boats, and it ensure the students only have one hand free when fishing. Plus, the students just love amassing their fleet of cups.
Use counters. Your school has tonnes of these for Go (Baduk) and the students cannot break them.
Add a subtotal column between "Tax" and "Buy/sell a boat?"
Plan a solid debrief at the end. We drew a parellel between fish and trees, oil/energy which elicited the chapter's target language "We should save X."

Overall though, I'd say it went well, and the students took away some lessons and used the target language at the end. Thanks again Inge.

Kimchi reading game.

2 reading games for a pair activity - coin flick and reading race (I photo copied these back to back to be used in one class as the reading race doesn't take very long)

telepathy writing game (thanks zorq for the update with this PPT)

Writing Game.
I ~~stole~~

it from another thread. Made it better

and used expressions/sentences from this book.
I will use three teams. One player from each team comes to the board. The first one to write the correct answer gets a point. (Spelling, punctuation, and being legible are required)

Motivation about living waste free. Once you open the video URL, click on "cc" at the bottom bar of the youtube window for subtitles. The video is full of fast and difficult English unfortunately, but teaching the words beforehand might help and maybe just pause and explain.

I added the video file too, but there are no subtitles.
