2015 Grade 6 Cheonjae 2 - 9. How Often Do You Exercise?

[xelainea]

Here are some word clouds I made really quick. I am using the sentences from period 6.
Make your own here: http://www.tagxedo.com

Word Cloud rules for those who need it:

Break students into small groups. Each team is given a word cloud to start with. With their team, they should figure out what the sentence is and write it down on their paper. When they’re finished, they can try to figure out the next one. The team with the most correct sentences is the winner.

Here's a reading/writing activity.  Print the pdf file and cut the boxes with names apart from each other (they're on the first four pages).  There should be twelve boxes.  I taped them on the walls around the room.  The students will read these to find the answers to  questions.  You can either give them the question papers from the pdf or show the questions on a screen with the ppt and have them write their answers in their notebooks depending on your paper/printing situation.  Assign each student a number, 1 to 4, and they will answer the questions for that number.  This is to cut down on copying and crowding. Of course if a student finishes much quicker than the others you can always assign them another number.  The last page of the pdf is the answer sheet.  I didn't put the answers on the ppt because I figured some one would accidentally prematurely reveal them to the class (most likely me).

EDIT: There was a mistake on the pdf, so I corrected it and reuploaded it.

I found that a good warm up was inviting the students to ask questions to the teacher, "How often do you----?". Then all the students had to write an answer to the question. If it matched mine, then they would get a point. Telepathy game with no prep.

Standard Kimchi elimination game - Have all students stand up at their desks (or make a u shape around the class). Start at one end and have students read one, two or three words. If they get kimchi they are out and should sit down. This game never fails to disappoint so thanks to the creator.

The Word Cloud Game was a huge hit with my 6th graders. They loved that they had to work together to make sentences. I used 5 out of the 10 cards that were provided and printed a sixth and a seventh in case of a tie.

I was also a stickler for punctuation as many of my sixth graders still forget to add question marks and periods.

Cheers!

Key expressions review PPT

Some materials for this lesson:
-Place your bets: very popular, students examine a slide to decide if it is correct or there is a flaw or error.  They then wager points based on how sure they are. Full instructions included.
-Stations game: also a student favorite.  Students rotate around the room, solving puzzles etc and filling in their worksheets.
-Nick walks his dog: this looks like a word search but it is actually a sentence maze. Fun.  I have a maze only handout or one with reading comprehension questions.  The PPT explains nicely, I think.
-English Cup warm-up: Unscramble words in round 1, sentences in round 2 on a soccer theme.

EDIT: I found a small but critical error in the Nick maze activity, but it is an easy fix.  The second sentence in the paragraph should read: He brushes his teeth most mornings after breakfast, but  knows he should brush more often.

It should NOT read "...but he knows..."

My apologies.
ALL REMOVED

I just made this story as motivation to begin the chapter.  Homer Simpsonis urged by Lenny and Carl to exercise and eat better.

I go around the room letting each student take turns reading a slide aloud. REMOVED

This is the same tab book made by socalchillin. I copied it so that the whole book fits on three pages so that I didn't have to cut and rearrange the papers so that each student gets the right amount of pages (credit to ncrippen for that idea).

I changed the crossword puzzle cause the answers weren't clear and I made my own secret code page.

I just finished doing this with all my classes so here are some quick tips:

1. Structure the flow of the activity for the students. I had them do it in steps which I wrote out on the whiteboard:
Step 1: Fill in all the answers.
Step 2: Have the teacher check your work. (with two teachers this should be no problem)
Step 3: Color & Cut
Step 4: Have the teacher staple your book.

I've done so many of these types of books and projects over the years and I find that it I guide them like this the work gets done. We don't waste time cutting to no end and have no time to fill out the book which is the educational and review part of this activity.

2. Make an example book for your students without filling in the answers. This way they know how to cut the pages and have some ideas for how to make the book look pretty.   

I hope somebody finds this updated book helpful.

I made a PPT for period 3 to practice, instead of the SPEAK AND READ in the book.

I made an OMOK game for the period 3 game/controlled practice.

For speak and play period 2, I used the book game with a variation to make it 2 person bingo...

Reading Lesson.  PPT with questions.  Wrote this story as the students like comics.

[lelsasser]

I made these cards to help the students with reading practice and sentence structure.

It's not a game, really... but they had a great time making some funny sentences.
 
Use how you wish.

I printed page 1,2 one colour, 3,4 another and 5,6 a third colour so the kids could distinguish.
Enjoy.

I was able to make this into a game that practice reading, writing, and speaking. I think it is also a good way to help familiarize them with the sentence structure for this type of sentence. It worked pretty good! I did the colour for the cards and on the board I showed them the sentence order (e.g. purple (action) + pink (frequency) + blue(a week/year)). The Ss. were put into groups of four. There were three roles in the group (writer, card flipper, and speaker), these would alternative between the Ss. each round. The flipper would flip the cards (which were face down), the writer would write them on a board and then the speaker would stand up and say the sentence. The first team to finish their sentence would get a point.

[lelsasser]

I made a survey-style speaking game for my students. I used it for more low-level students. For higher level, you could maybe give them less of an aid (they can't read out their sentences?) or maybe have a response "That's great" or "You should brush more often"

My intro powerpoint.  Goes over vocabulary and key expressions. Features a "트와이스" cameo.  Some fun cartoon characters talk about their habits for motivation.
