6th Grade : I saw ghosts!
6th grade students have been practicing talking about things they did and saw during summer vacation. Since they have talked about their summer vacation so much, in this last class we talked about the previous weekend.
This was our last full class on this topic. We will also practice this a few times during Tomilish Time in the future.
First we did our usual greeting game. We practiced using all the English we have studied so far. The teachers did a demonstration first.
"I can swim very well. Can you swim?"
"No, I can't."
"But, you can play basketball."
"Oh! That's right!"
The students did their best to continue the conversations with their friends using English for as long as possible.
"What do you study on Tuesday?"
"When is your birthday?"
Next, we practiced our original chant. Until now we've always used the same vocabulary but now the students are very used to the chant so we changed the words.
What did you do?
I went to my grandparents' house.
I ate rice.
I saw ghosts!
It was cold.
Thank you!
After the chant, the teachers demonstrated a conversation using today's new phrase, "I saw...", and talking about the weekend.
"What did you do at the weekend?"
"I went to a taiko shop. I saw a big taiko drum. It was great!"
The students have studied a lot of different phrases to talk about their past experiences.
Wow! That's a lot of flashcards! Don't worry. The flashcards are only to give the students ideas.
The students practiced the conversation in pairs first to give them confidence.
Nice eye contact!
Then, it was time to talk to their classmates.
Clear voices!
Nice smile!
Good job!
Lastly, the teachers picked some students to show a good demonstration.
Both students have great gestures and reactions! Well done!
Talking about our past experiences (summer vacation and the weekend) was very difficult for everyone but they did a great job!
