Sports

Lesson Plan
Flash Cards

Throughout all of my elementary, there was only one English teacher, and she taught 1年生. Before and After classes, I would talk to her about the lessons, and what she wanted the students to learn. After "How are you?", I asked her if there was anything she'd like me to teach, and she thought that Sports would be interesting enough for the students. "Oh, you should show pictures of the Sports you play. I think the students would be very interested."

Class 1

Introduce the vocabulary. After that, I talked about the Sports that I like and play, and showed them photos that I had. I play 4 sports: Bowling, Disc Golf, Running and Kendo. The students thought it was interesting that my school sport was bowling. And they thought my Disc Golf and Running photos were pretty.

The Volleyball game worked out really really well. I took this activity from the Team Teaching Pizza book. (or Englipedia, I don't remember.) The students had a great time smacking the balloon around.

Class 2

I wanted to introduce some grammar, so they make sentences, and talk with each other. I choose "Can you __?" since it was different than "Do you like __?", which I think they already knew. I threw in the Census Game, because that gets great reactions. And so does Fruits Basket. ^_^

The Song

I just continued singing "Hello How are you?" with the students, since they really loved it.

Flash Cards

For the flash cards, I just ripped them off from MES-English since the drawings were all pretty uniformly drawn, and looked alright.

Results

Eh, it worked out well enough. I probably should've added more lessons so the students could continue to practice the grammar, and further internalize it. Especially since these classes were so far apart from each other, constant practice is quite necessary.

But, I couldn't really think of anywhere else to take the lesson.
