Thanks for this!

I love the animations!  A bit morbid, but funny 

What do the pictures mean before level 4?  There's the Statue of Liberty and Cheonggyecheon, etc...

I created this template for Storytime for my fifth graders (actually, found a template here in Waygook, but all the crazy stuff is my own imagining). They loved it, so I just switch the images and words for the 6th grade lessons now.

I'll upload Part 4 when the time is right. That one is EPIC! Hahaha!

The photos are just a funny "around the world" sorta thing the octopus is taking Ariel on. From the sea to his spaceship, he has to cross a few countries. Kids SQUEAL at this!! hahaha.

Hope your class enjoys it.

For part 3 of this lesson, students will practice asking and answering the key expressions, "What do you want to do?" and " I want to ___." They'll practice this first as a class with the help of an overhead projector and afterwards in pairs they'll do a gap fill activity. One student will be student A, the other student B. They'll take turns asking, "What do you want to do [on Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/etc.] and fill in the correct answer. Before copying, I'll write Monday-Saturday underneith each picture, differntly for student a and student B's worksheet. 

After reviewing the answers as a class. They'll do a running dictation activity. Each group will have a paper that's away from their group. One by one, a student from each group will walk (not run) and in order read a sentence from the paper, walk back and tell the designated writer of their group what they read. One the student finishes, they'll tag a group member and that student will do the same. The groups will have 5 or so minutes to complete the activity. Afterwards, groups will trade white boards and as a class they'll check each group's answers and the group with the most correct answers will be the winner.

I hope this is helpful!

Here's a Chase the Vocab game. My kids seemed to find it refreshing. Before the game, I reviewed the key sentences/pictures to be used in the game.

I have just used this game and I must say it went down a storm! Really great reponse, and everyone got involved and speaking, even the students who normally can't be bothered! So thanks a million!

It is quite a long game, as I removed a couple of the slides, and brought ina few rule changes for the Extreme Round, and it still took the best part of 30 minutes to get through the vocab intros, and the actual game. However, myself and my co-teacher definately agree that it is worth doing, and it make a nice change from the usual Bomb, Mario games etc.

i done this lesson the other day with my 6th graders and i ran out of things to do and i had to think on my feet but i have 5 more grade 6 classes to teach and i found this video that could useful to fill the gap i dnt know if it has been posted i didnt see it in my travel... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grlKvGREFVs&feature=related

PPT Songs that you can use for this chapter. Very funny because one of them involved one of their favorite TV personalities, Yoo JaeSuk

Here's a ppt for lesson 5 - Story Time

Bomb game for 'What do you want to do?'

Thank you so much for the game! The students definitely love bomb games~~~

The jeopardy game is very fun, my kids all enjoyed it very much when played in teams.  Just make sure you have some way to make sure only one person per team is answering.  I made little shapes on a stick for each team (9) to raise when they knew the answer.  Only the person with the shape is allowed to say anything.  I've never used the black dog ppt but it was available from another site like this for this lesson.

Thank you so much for all the different power points that you've posted. :)

 

Here's a ppt for lesson 5 - Story Time

  Thanx for this. The stories in the book can be so drab that they are painful.  Something like this can make it tolerable.

Two really neat videos from youtube. Good job to the producers and actors!

Angry Birds game for this chapter.

Make sure you don't save it in 07 format or it won't work... as I discovered this morning!!

This game is awesome! But... the ticks don't click to the scores...

I'm not saving it in pptx as you say above. Anyone else have this problem or a solution?

Here's a Chase the Vocab game. My kids seemed to find it refreshing. Before the game, I reviewed the key sentences/pictures to be used in the game.

Just a question on your methodology. Are you having the kids track one activity per slide, or all of them? Are you telling them the number and asking for the activity/sentence or giving the activity and asking for the number. I can see playing this various ways and I'm just wondering what you've tried or what works.  This is a nice concept and a pleasant step outside the bomb game/typhoon box. Good on you mate!

Ah! Sorry! It's such an old template, that I just assumed most people knew what to do with it.

We have our classes comprised of teams, 1-6, as they function better in groups, for the games, and it makes awarding prizes/points easier. Basically, we keep it simple: review the vocab, have the students quickly speak the key word/sentence, then push the "mix" button.

We choose students from various groups, making sure that each group gets a chance at it. Sometimes I write down the answers beforehand, so that I know if they're right/wrong without turning the tile (this requires a little prep on your part), and sometimes I just check and let them see their error/no point awarded. Either way works fine, though I like the former way best.

When we get to maybe only 1 or 2 squares left, it's so obvious, so I have them do Rock, Paper, Scissors with me, whittling down to the last student; that lucky student gets to say the final one/get the final point. (The RPS keeps it from getting TOO dull, if they get bored with the guessing.)

We have a pretty good response with this game, but ultimately, you will know your kids best. This method may not work best, and if so, mayhap I can suggest some alternative ways. ^^ Hope this helps!

Hey! I'm thinking of trying this game tomorrow, and I'm sorry I know you've have to explain it so many times (haha), but I just wondered how you manage to let every team have a chance to answer each round? There are only 3 or 4 cards at times. Sorry if I'm being dense...my kids are just so competitive, they would completely blame me if I were responsible for choosing who got to answer (and get points for) a question that they all knew the answer to!

No, it's okay. You're not dense at all. ^^

Well, for the first couple of slides, I can't let every team have a chance. For the first round, I choose teams randomly, for the first 2 vocab. words; the last one, I ALWAYS do Rock, Paper, Scissors. My kids are competitive, but this allows a sense of fairness. The next slide has 4 new vocabulary words, and, with the last one again being decided by Rock, Paper, Scissors, usually allows me to choose the remaining teams that haven't gone. It may take until the 3rd round, though, if a team is unlucky in RPS.

This is simply how I do it. You could always go around and have each team say their answer/hold up a response. But this will take more time. The way I do it, I have found is most expedient, for my kids.

Also, if it would help? I've made a big deal about choosing the students with the BEST attitude: sitting straight, with good attitude, and quiet. That way, your students won't be able to argue, as it is up to them to exhibit the best attitude. With my students, this got a mixed response, but the students caught on quickly. And they got quiet even quicker. Win-win situation. ^^

Just some ideas, if you can use them in any way. As always, hope this helps. ^^ Good luck!

Jonny Be Good:

Oh, I'm so glad to hear! I had the same reaction with my kids. *^^* Thank goodness to whoever made the original template, it's been my saving grace! *^^*

To anybody who wants to get ALL of their students to talk. Do the CHASE THE VOCAB game. I did it today and they adored this game more than anything we've done in the past. The low level kids were just as engaged as the high level. It is worth it, trust me, and HUGE props to the creator. It's genius, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Here is a fun auction game I used for period 3. Teams are allocated money which they may use to bid and "pay" for the sentences shown on the PPT. However, some of the sentences contain grammatical mistakes which the students must watch out for. The team that wins the most correct sentences, wins the game.

Hey this game looks like it would be fun. I have a question though. When you present a sentence, do you auction off the sentence where the highest bidding team wins that sentence? Also, what happens if the students realize that a sentence is incorrect. Why would they want to bid on it? What do you do in this situation?

I agree with whoever mentioned the 6th graders are getting despondent.  However, they seem eager to play games that allow them to interact with their friends.

This survey game and PPT went over really well. 

1. I told the class we're going to play a survey game, but question 3 "What do you want to do before you die?" can be hard to answer.  The PPT is to give some ideas.  For each slide I had a show of hands for students who actually want to do that thing: I want to get married/ have children/ fly a helicopter/ eat turkey/ go skydiving/ ride in a police car/ swim with dolphins. 

2. After the PPT, I showed the PPT version of the survey.  Of the 3 questions (What do you want to be? What do you want to do after school? before you die?) they must find 9 people to answer ONE question each.  To make it fun, they have to do rock, paper, scissors and only the winner gets to ask the question.  My co-teacher did an example with a student while I typed it into the PPT.  After they complete the survey, they have to write 3 sentences in 3rd person form, "Min Seo wants to go shopping," to practice the 's' at the end of 'wants'.

3. Before starting the survey they have to write their answers on the back.  It's the same 3 questions, but with suggestions and some pictures to help them out.  This took about 2 minutes with me and my co-teacher walking around telling students how to spell words not listed. For example, many students want to be veterinarians.  When they finish filling in the information about themselves, they can start. 

The whole thing took about 25 minutes. 

Update - My co-teacher loved the back of the survey, so I created another version that we'll use to 'make a book'.  Thanks to meche_rache1 for the questions.

super simple review ppt i made from the gifs a previous poster put in a mario game (thank you!!)
