Hey All,

I've got a new lesson which I've put a lot thought into and which should hopefully be interesting to the students. The lesson covers common accidents.

Presentation: Students learn phrases related to common accidents: slipped and fell, fell off a ladder, fell off my bike, got electrocuted, etc. They also learn some phrases we can say to prevent accidents: be careful, don't run, etc.

Practice: Students play battleship using the template which includes the target vocabulary.

Production: Students complete "Unlucky Obama" drawing activity. Students read about various accidents that occurred when Obama visited Korea. Students should draw a picture corresponding with each sentence in the story.

All materials are attached, including the lesson plan. I think the kids will really enjoy this one!

I did this lesson last week. Overall it went quite well, and I think the students enjoyed the activities. The Battleship game really got the students speaking a lot. My students, however, were completely unfamiliar with Battleship at first. I ended up drawing out the grids on the board and playing with my co-teacher a few rounds. The PPT alone didn't seem to be enough explanation for them, so I'd highly recommend playing a few rounds with your co-teacher on the whiteboard so that the students can understand the game well.

The lesson looks fantastic. Very applicable to real life situations, thanks Cliff :)!

Was a hit with the students. My quietest students have been happily participating :)

Changed the Obama activity to the game Telephone, so we would still be using the target language and it worked well as well!

Cheers Cliff !
