5th Grade : Are you good at skating?
5th grade students have just had their second class on the topic `Who is your hero?`. In this topic they are studying how to introduce someone who they admire while using the phrase `He/She is good at ~`.
After our usual greetings the teachers demonstrated the greeting game. They each pretended to be a famous person and used the phrase `I am good at ~.`, that the students had studied in the last class, to give hints. The other person had to guess who they were.
"Guess who?"
"Hint, please!"
"I am good at skating. I got 2 gold medals at the PyeongChang Olympics."
"Are you Takagi Nana?"
"Yes, I am!"
After watching the demonstration it was time for everyone else to try.
"I'm good at skating. I got gold, silver and bronze medals at the PyeongChang Olympics."
"Are you Takagi Miho?"
"Yes, I am!"
The students pretended to be many different famous people and characters.
"I am good at climbing. I am thick eyebrows."
"Are you Imoto-san?"
"Yes, I am!"
"I am good at table tennis. I am from Sendai."
"Are you Fukuhara Ai?"
"Yes, I am!"
After the greeting game Ms. Emily introduced her hero.
"This is my hero. She is Ester Ledecka. She is good at snowboarding. She got a gold medal. She can ski, too. She doesn't have skis. Her friend gave her skis at the olympics. She got a gold medal in skiing too!"
After this the teachers modelled asking each other `Are you good at~?` questions. We practiced the questions with the students and they asked each other questions in pairs. The students found it hard to say "Yes, I am." to the questions so we decided to do an another activity where they had to pretend to be someone else.
The students had to pretended to be one of the characters and their partner had to ask questions in order to guess who they were.
"Are you good at cooking?"
"Yes, I am."
"Are you good at dancing?"
"No, I'm not."
"Are you Nemo?"
"Yes, I am!"
The students found some of the answers very funny.
"It says Anpanman is good at swimming even though water makes him weak!!"
Everyone decided it would be interesting for the students to create their own version in the future.
Good job everyone!
