My Horrible Vacation\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Fast and Furious: Streets of Korea\u00a0<\/em>by Rebecca Brower (South Korea ETA)<\/p>\n

This week I wanted to share a couple of lessons that I used recently in my elementary school\u00a0classes. As a kid, I\u00a0always enjoyed Mad Lib stories, so I wrote a couple of stories for my classes using key phrases from the lessons in the textbook. These can be used\u00a0as they are, modified for a different level, or used as inspiration to create something different! Here they are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. My Horrible Vacation- I used this story for my fifth\u00a0graders, who were practicing the past tense within a lesson titled\u00a0How Was Your Vacation?<\/em>\u00a0First I went around the room and asked the kids for words to complete the word list, and then had them complete a word find while I filled in the PowerPoint.\u00a0I read it to them in English first, and then Korean. The files include the PowerPoint<\/a>\u00a0and Word Document<\/a>\u00a0with the word list, story, and Korean translation (for ETA’s in Korea).<\/li>\n
  2. Fast and Furious: The Streets of Korea- As the title suggests, this story was based off of\u00a0the\u00a0Fast and Furious\u00a0<\/em>movie series in the United States (a few\u00a0kids knew the movies, and some had heard of Paul Walker). I used it in my sixth\u00a0grade classes, and incorporated key phrases from two different lessons:\u00a0I’m Taller Than You\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Because I Got a New Camera.\u00a0<\/em>First I explained the basic premise of the movies, and then showed them part of the trailer for\u00a0Furious 7<\/em>; up to the point where Paul Walker’s character runs the full length of a bus that’s sliding off of a cliff. After the video we filled in\u00a0word list (one per student) before I plugged them into the PowerPoint. My co-teacher then helped to translate the story. The kids loved the video and had fun with story, and even seemed to like the photo-shopped movie images bearing the\u00a0faces of actors from the famous Korean drama,\u00a0Descendants of the Sun. <\/em>For ETA’s in other countries, images and story location can be tailored\u00a0to fit your placement country. The files include the PowerPoint<\/a>\u00a0and Word Document<\/a>\u00a0with the story and word list.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Good luck, and check back next week for a lesson to help you prepare for October 31st- Halloween is coming!<\/p>\n
