4th Grade : Let's research the most popular color!
4th grade students have started studying Let's Try!1 Unit 4 "I like blue." In this unit they will be designing t-shirts for our school character, Anerjiro. In order to design their t-shirts they used this lesson to research the top 3 popular colors in their class.
We started class with our usual greetings and questions.
"Look at the sky. How is the weather today?"
"It's sunny!"
"That's right. It's sunnny!"
After our greetings we had `Teacher Talk`. The students had to listen to the teachers talking, try and catch some of the words and think about what they were saying.
"I like yellow. Do you like yellow?"
"Yes, I do! I like suzume odori. Do you like suzume odori?"
"No, I don't. I like soccer."
"Oh!"
After the chant, we reviewed the English words for colors.
Then we did the chant from Let's Try!1 Unit 4 "I like blue."
Next, the teachers did a demonstration for the main activity of the lesson.
"Do you like yellow?"
"Yes, I do!"
After the demonstration the teachers asked the students what was different about the two teachers ways of asking questions. Ms. Emily asked Ms. Keiko "Do you like~?" questions about all the colors in turn until Ms. Keiko said "Yes". However, Ms. Keiko thought about what color Ms. Emily might like before asking questions. Everyone decided that thinking about the person and then asking questions was the best way.
Next, it was the students turn to interview everyone in their class.
"Do you like purple?"
"Yes, I do!"
Nice smile!
"Do you like green?"
"No, I don't."
Good eye contact!
Half-way through the activity the teachers asked some of the students to give a good demonstration. They did great greetings after finishing questioning each other.
"Thank you! See you!"
After watching the good demonstration the teachers did a bad demonstration to further emphasise their point.
"Wait!"
It's important to properly greet!
The students continued the activity while thinking about the demonstrations.
Great smile!
Nice eye contact!
At the end of the activity we tried to find the student who talked to the most people. The student who talked to the most people told us their results. Each class had different results which was very interesting!
Class 1:
1. Blue
2. Yellow
3. White
Class 2:
1. Blue
2. Green
3. Red
Class 3:
1. Yellow
2. Purple and Black (draw)
In the next class the students will use these results in order to design t-shirts. We are looking forward to seeing their designs.
Good job everyone!
