Lesson 2
Grade 7 - Grade 12
Basic Listening
• Flashlight Find
Mount the vocabulary illustrations on the walls, chalkboard, win dows, etc. Have a student stand in the center of the classroom with a flashlight.
Say one of the vocabulary words and the student must find the illustration for the vo cabulary word you said using the light of the
flashlight. This activity may also be conducted in team form. In this case, have two flashlights available. Have a player from each team
stand in the center of the classroom. When you say the vocabulary word, each player must attempt to find the correct illustra tion with the
light of his/her flashlight. The first player to correctly identify the il lustration for the vocabulary word you said wins the round. Repeat until
all players have played.
Basic Speaking
• The Disappearing Illustrations
Mount five or six illustrations on the chalkboard, vertically. Point to the il lustration at the top and the students should name it. Con tinue in
this way until the students have named all of the illustra tions from top to bottom. Then, remove the last illustra tion and re peat this process
- the students should say all of the vocabulary words, including the name for the "missing" illustra tion. Then, re move another illustration
from the chalkboard and the stu dents should repeat this process. Continue in this way un til the students are say ing all of the vocabulary
words from a blank chalkboard or until the stu dents cannot remember the "missing illus trations."
• What's The Date
Before the activity begins, collect an old calendar or calendars of differ ent years. Say the name of a month to a student. The stu dent should
then say a date within that month. Look on the calen dar to see which day the date rep resents. If the date represents a day between
Monday and Friday, the stu dents should identify a vocab ulary illustration you show or he/she should repeat a sentence you said at the
beginning of the round. However, if the date named by the student is a Saturday or Sun day, the student may "pass" to another player.
Repeat until many stu dents have responded.
• Illustration Build-Up
Mount the vocabulary illustrations on the chalkboard. Point to two of the illus trations. The students should then say the vocabulary words
for those two illustrations. Then, point to another illustra tion. The students should repeat the first two vocabulary words and then say the
vocabulary word for the third illustration you pointed to. Con tinue in this way until the students lose the se quence of words. This activity
may be repeated a number of times (changing the sequence of illustrations for each round of the ac tivity).
• Illustration Outline
Mount the vocabulary illustrations on the chalkboard. Draw a chalk out line around the sides of each illustration. Review the illustrations
with the students. When an outline has been cre ated for each illustration, remove the illustrations from the chalkboard (being certain to
recall their original locations on the chalkboard). Number each of the outlines on the chalkboard. Then, say the number of one of the out -
lines and call upon a stu dent to recall the vocabulary word for the illus tration that goes with that outline. Re peat this process until all of the
vocabulary words have been said by the students in this way.
