5th Lesson

Attendance.

Review rooms of the house from last class.

l   What do you do in the living room?

l   You sleep/You are sleeping.

Review prepositions/class objects.

Pass out papers.

Discuss map of Taiwan, and how to spell the names of every county.  You don’t need to speak Chinese to do this.  You can just point to the map or say the numbers.  One thing to keep in mind is variant spellings such as “Taipei” and “Taibei.”  If your command of Taiwanese geography is shaky I would suggest doing a map of Asia or the world instead.

Taoyuan	Yunlin	Nantou
Hsinchu	Jia Yi	Taipei/Taibei
Miaoli	Tainan	Ilan
Taichung	Kaohsiung	Hualien
Changhua	Pingdong/Pingtung	Taidong/Taitung

While doing map be sure to ask students “How to spell _____?”

Using the question “Where can you see _____?” have students tell you where the 101 building, the National Palace Museum, and other places are.

SBS pg. 11 Recite once.

SBS pg. 12 Recite twice (prepositions).

SBS pg. 13 Read together and answer questions together if time.

Flashcards: Occupations

l   What is he/she?

l   What does he/she do?

l   Play “Flashcard Dash.”  Have students stand in the back of the class.  Place a few of the flashcards on the front desks.  Teacher calls out the name of an occupation and students race to touch the cards first.  Those who are fastest can sit down.  In my experience it’s better not to play this game for long longer than 5 minutes.
