...and this is exactly how their journal entry should look!

Sing (to the tune of ABCDEFG...) with hand motions, "beside, under, in, on-on..." start out slow, and get faster. they like to see if they can do it super-fast. and you get points if you can do it fast, but they'll laugh if you mess it up.

Watch the video, talk about Who, what, and where?
Listen & Repeat (this'll be a fast one)

Greeting: Did you bring...
Throw the ball and ask the students questions,
"How are you?" "What's your name?" "How's the weather?"
...for students who are advanced, throw a toughy in there...

Sing there are 7 days in the week to the tune of Oh my darlin' Clementine there.

Review "Look" as a directional verb, "look at...the window" versus as a describing mechanism, "you look...happy." (use powerpoint)

Textbook, p 23 students should be writing the DATE on every paper possible, now. in the book, in their journals, EVERYTHING.

PLAY memory card game; (materials: cards 1 side Sun-Sat in eng & hangeul + a few more words...on the other side, CAPITAL and lower-case A-L letters velcro works well for this)
First, go through and chant CAPITAL A-L
Each group can choose one card from the capital group and one from the lower-case group. they must all chant together, twice, before I turn the card over.
...very fun, once the kids start getting near misses, they get really wound up.
the winners of the game get to leave class a few second before everyone else.
