Language Items : Good / OK
Activities : Collecting things together.
1."Good
afternoon! Do you remember a kind of food?" Draw a vertical line on the center of
the board. 1) Put a card of a
dessert on the one side of the board.
2) Put a card of a main dish on the other side. 3) Put the third card on the side you
think correct.
2."This
is spaghetti. Which is it belong
to?" The
students may answer using the words "Right / Left". They may also answer pointing to right
or left side. It is easy for them
to collect things together. If you
find some students want to answer in the front, you may call them and give them
a chance to put the card on the board.
3."Are
these OK? Good?" Show the students a finger sign of
"OK" or "good" when all cards have put on the board
correctly.
4."Let's
finish collecting food." Put
all the cards of food off and erase the center line.
5."Here
are another cards. Can you tell me
which things are making groups?" It is not today's goal to teach the students
all names of 9 items but to teach them the meaning of the words
"Good" and "OK".
6."Take
your scissors. Cut the paper along
the line. You will have nine cards
on your desk." Show
the students how to cut the paper.
Let the students take and pass the paper backward.
7."Collect
the things together."
It must be difficult for the students to understand the meaning of these
words. So move to the students and
show them what to do. Check the
students who has done correctly.
8."Put
your scissors into the desk. Will
you tell me your way to collect?" Draw one vertical line on the board again. Ask the students "Is it
good?" or "Who does say to need two lines?". Some students will try to divide in two
groups. However, they could know
in three is correct.
9."These
are dinosaurs. These are
animals. And these are
transports." After
teaching the students one category, ask them if they find another category.
10."We
can divide the cards in the other way." There will be some students who find two categories to
divide the cards. You may call
them to the front and let them move the cards. Say "Good!" to the students when
they have done well.
11.
"These are things in the air.
These are things in the water.
And these are things on the land."
12."Let's
finish today's lesson. The train
is going. The airplane is
leaving. And I must be going now. Good-bye."
