(2011 National) Grade 5, Lesson 4 - "What a Nice Day!"

This is a runner and writer game i made for this lesson.
The rules are:
Make groups of about 4.
Each group must pick a runner and a writer.
The runner runs up to the teachers desk where there is a piece of paper with sentences on.
They must read 1 sentence and then run back to tell the writer who must write the sentence down.
I made them swap places so everyone got a go at running and writing. The team who gets all of the sentences correct first wins.

Make sure you remember to print out the sentences onto paper so they can read them off at sheet at the front of the class as well!

A bomb game i made for the review lesson of lesson .
Not my template, so thank you to who made the original one 

If you are responsible for teaching book sections like I am, this should help out with Chapter 4 - Lesson 1.  Let me know if you have questions about how to use!

Lesson 4 - Period 5:  Does anybody dislike teaching Story Time for Grade 5 as much as I do?  I'm having serious issues with this "Who Am I?" story.  I feel like I am beating a dead horse.  My students knew it was a TV in chapter one.  Doing the role-play is really difficult because there is no substance to the story.  It's just, "Hamin's dad watches a baseball game. He shout's, " What a nice play!" Now, can you tell?  Yes, I am "Television!" "    And does it really have any application to the chapter?  The chapter is called "What a nice day!"  talking about things in and around the city on nice day with the common phrase, "What a ______ ______!" 

He says 'what a nice play' in the story but only a man sitting on a sofa sipping tea would say that as if commenting on the weather. 

I would really appreciate ideas that would be applicable and interesting pertaining to this period.  My students always get so bored with story time and lose focus very quickly. 
Need ideas, PLEASE!!!

Here is a speed quiz! Some of the images have been used from previously posted PPTs, thanks!

"Story time PPT" is really great.  students really digged this.  many thanks to the creator.

I've used the picture cards that come with the lesson to play Go Fish. The game is hugely popular with my students and needs no other preparation (apart from tearing the cards from the back of the book.) I first make sure they know the sentences that describes the pictures. If the kids don't know the game yet it might help to do a demo game. They quickly get the hang of it and thoroughly enjoy it. Aside from Go Fish I also play Snap with the cards which they also really love. Try them. They're good games for memorizing words and sentences.

This is my 5th grade materials...
interesting video clips. hope it helps.

short interesting video clip for Lesson 4

This one is made using the Simpsons disappearing dialogue template.  It is relatively easy so I would use it towards the beginning of the lesson.

ppt and worksheet for key expressions for L4

Hey!

Here is a bomb game for lesson 4. It has the Korean sentence that each group has to translate into English.
Hope it helps! :)

A quick prezi to explain two expressions in this chapter's Story Time: "What a nice play!" and "Can you tell?"

Most of my fifth graders knew them already, but they really enjoyed the vids.  :)

Tips:
- You can close the ads that show up on the bottom of the vids, but you have to click a little to the right of the close button (it's off for some reason)

- When you show the painting vid, you might wanna skip the first half a minute or so... also supplement the vid by asking "What is she painting? Can you tell?...Now can you tell?"  They will figure out it's a person, then start asking "Can you tell who?"

Hope someone finds this useful.

I took rhetoric's What a Wonderful World song PPT and made it into a video if you don't want to click through the PPT.  The video is also quite a bit smaller in size.

It's Louis Armstrong's song covered by Innocence Mission.  Images gathered by rhetoric.

thanks to the person who posted the hidden tiles game.  It was very useful today and my students loved it

Here is a Bart Simpson board game for Lesson 4 period 3.
I hope this activity follows the period 3 module for this lesson.

I'm with you on this one. The story time portion is terrible!! I try to make it exciting by taking the expressions in the story and making a fun activity out of it. For this one I'm going to find pictures online or take some pictures around the school and make a ppt and ask the kids, "Can you tell what it is?" I may even have them play pictionary or something. Every storytime is a challenge to come up with something fun for the kids...

Who am I? storytime ppt plus jumbled sentences activity and role-play
sorry the file's so big

My thanks to fairwhitewave for the original ppt.  I added the Korean vocab to all the adjectives.  Good as an opener during the first class.

Thanks t o co-teacher helping to make this pirate game :)

LOVE this game.  It's awesome.  I'm using tomorrow.  The fight aspect is brilliant.  Sadly there were no links to the fights that slides in the original so I made 5 fight links.
