Korean Job Discussion Forums

I have so many more resources on my site, available. Most, great for summer camp when you need open ended, creative, versatile stuff. I'll just highlight a few things of recent note for any interested teachers.

Teachers folder: Conversation ppts. - Two questions a slide and students use them to ask and answer each other. They must ask follow up questions. Model with the teacher or a good student first. Great, no handout needed lesson(s). I'll be putting up more on Movies/Music, Travel and Home shortly.

Sports example: http://www.esnips.com/doc/6b0ced64-131b-4fe7-96a6-853d5990ce6e/Sports-Talk

-- Nice pair passed lessons and handout set
-- Many many handy flash materials to help with instruction. Maps (directions) / full screen clock, etc....

Videos: More Shaun the Sheep, Picasso, The Message (great one for teaching, students draw on their hands and send out messages).

Karaoke Videos - Billy collins poetry with subtitles -- cool stuff, simple too
Pink - Dear Mr. President
James Blunt - No bravery

Korean karaoke - Amerie ( a few songs) , don't start (Boa).

Karaoke -- lots here. Take your pick. Great for students. New is Amerie / Itsy bitsy teeny weenie bikini / I saw the sign / Also, cool phonetic song, English Words with a Cloze exercise.

I'll be adding an alphabetized list of all the hundreds of karaoke songs shortly. so people will know what is there without having to scroll.

Powerpoint Games - Scrabble and Bookworm added. Transl8it has become super popular (students translate text messaging into standard english).
-- Qedoc program. Download and install and then students can access hundreds of tests of English and games through the internet. Huge database. What's nice is they aren't all just ESL/EFL but they can test themselves against all sorts of other areas at the appropriate grade, in English.

I'll update with some new fling the Teacher games shortly also.

Presentations. I've been working here lots and lots . Many fine presentations, on education, best photos of all time, sports http://www.esnips.com/doc/4d7e26f4-6ae2-45b9-bbc4-e1d8caf23692/Sports-and-Athletic-Qualities
So many others. I like the Make a Photo presentation. Look at many in the Inspirational presentations package I zipped.

Booknook -- The place I've spent the majority of my nights. So many great folktales and books I've now made available. Some beautiful ones, I'm proud of. Just finished Jack and the Beanstalk.....Some in ppt. some in flash, some in karaoke. Lots of Korean folktales. My fav. is The Grain of Millet. Some great interactive flash stories where students enter info. and then produce a story. They can then print the story afterwards to share....

Example here -- http://www.esnips.com/doc/2761836b-3899-4e81-966b-edc194b00344/The-Three-Country-Critters

Lots more but this is just a quick rundown of what is presently on the top of my head...Don't forget the professional development folder - just uploaded a fascinating talk about creativity and education!

Lots more posted up recently.

In the teaching folder, a unit plan , probably good for summer camp, for Shrek 3, the movie. As well as other movie related things.

Also a folder of comic materials. Nice template there showing how to make a comic book simply for students. Plus other templates. Also look at the Archie ppt I put together, song, characters and voiced reading of the comics....

http://www.esnips.com/doc/9738c5b1-fa72-4bff-87d4-20cf7f570a64/Archie-Comics

Also in one of my video folders, lots of comics in flash. Easy to follow and read. Look at this innovative one for teaching basic verbs. The road runner....

http://www.esnips.com/doc/3831ea0f-53ef-4373-8b08-4375da942e57/Road-Runner-grammar-2

Also many new videos, interactive ones. Many with lesson plans to download alongside. I like this one in particular for teaching the habitual tense....routine.

http://www.esnips.com/doc/d70c5a04-d501-4862-a64a-3d986d80bf89/Total-Physical-Response-Video

Lots and lots in my karaoke folder. Interesting karaoke story from Teenage Diaries, self produced by a 16 year old who has Tourettes. So funny. Also many books, flash that students can use to create their own stories. See the Dr. Seuss story maker for an example. I also painstakingly have gathered a ton of mp3s of Korean folktales. You might use them in class but if just for yourself, they are worth listening to.

http://www.esnips.com/doc/bbeadf6a-7d20-4c0a-9347-3b93ecd717b7/Korean-Folk-tales

Lots more, more audio books with voice that reads, Amazing Stories. Quizzes and comprehension questions in the presentation. The final results of the Top 7 wonders of Canada video is posted. I will also post shortly into my karaoke folder a step by step screen cast of how to make a karaoke song file and use it. Should be much easier for others than my booklet.

I'll shortly have a community up, to discuss materials and resources for the Korean English classroom. Then I'll quit shouting out about the resources here and it'll be there where I'll post of materials and how to use, extend etc.....

Cheers,

DD

I'm in the midst (and it will be awhile) of changing things up with my site. The batcave is still there but will be radically changed in the next few months. I'll make it more user friendly and integrated with my new teacher community.

You'll find direct access to all the folders in the meantime if there is any interruption at the batcave, by going to my new home, www.eflclassroom.com or more directly at my home page there,

The powerpoint folders, games and presentations, are now by invitation only to those belonging to eflclassroom 2.0 My sincere attempt to get more teachers involved in their own professional development and also introduced to this dynamic network technology.

I've recently reformatted many powerpoints and now have great sets by which to teach all types of vocabulary and grammar. I'll be exploring more ways to develop basic and introductory teacher friendly materials, including my ongoing series of interactive powerpoints based on themes and conversation. So far, I have a basic interview, travel, sports, preferences. Money, art/movies/film, Family, If are almost there and others in the works. Each is conversational, with a prompt and an activity at the end to extend - survey or presentation in most cases....

Take a look at eflclassroom when you have a moment and I intend to have many Korean teachers joining in the future but for the moment, taking it easy and letting it have a life of its own...

Cheers,

DD
