High School Easter Lessons

[jellomando]

I'm playing the South Park card this week and using my usual lesson format to wrap it up as edutaintional.

Easter:

• Native Speaker gives students a pop quiz on Easter. 10 minutes.
• Native Speaker goes over the pop quiz.  5 minutes.
• Native Speaker demonstrates Easter by playing South Park Video. 20 minutes.
• Students perform Crossword worksheet.  10 minutes.
• Native Speakers goes over Crossword worksheet. 5 minutes.

Notes:

• The kids got most of the religious aspects of Easter although they were confused about the nonreligious aspects, like 'eat raw eggs' and 'rabbits dipped in chocolate.'
• The smart students know to write down the words that the class brainstorms for Easter symbols.  Be sure to mention the words used in the crossword activity at this point.
• There's almost too much work in this lesson so the timing of this class can go wrong if the kids are slow.

The video is EP11-4 Fantastic Easter Special and is online with Korean subtitles through SouthParkTV.net.

The crossword was created from Variety Game's Crossword Maker.

My post is still fresh enough to warrant a gratuitous youtube video to be shared with students and co-teachers...

hey! I'm writing this from an iPhone. Nice lesson plan the video makes me think of Adam and Karin's rabbit.

In case anyone is looking to fill a bit of time, a hastily thrown together Easter powerpoint with the barest of info <well the vernal equinox stuff is a bit random>. My school likes when I share Western culture tidbits. Oh, and I picked a wordsearch to go with it that had vernal equinox as a word so felt like I should attempt to explain it's relevance <same with Eastre>. The moral here is to pay more attention to word searches you download before you print them off! Something to work with though. Cheers all

I can't manage to get this episode with korean subtitles. I've looked on Daum but then it just links back to youtube and has english subtitles. Can anyone help?
