Really enjoyed today's lesson. Content-wise, I didn't get through as much as I had planned, but it was fun and I veered off my plan somewhat!
Today we did greetings - Guten Morgen, guten Tag, guten Abend, gute Nacht and Auf Wiedersehen/tschüs. We also recapped Wie heißt du and ich heiße and the register routine vocab; ich bin hier/nicht hier
They arrived in good spirits and were ready to learn. I introduced team competition, which I think is a wonderful tool in any MFL teacher's toolbox. I introduced a sheet handing out race, for teampoints, I introduced pupils telling me how many teampoints they should have (I gave them the choice; "drei Punkte oder vier?", whilst holding up the appropriate amount of fingers!); this led to "Das ist nicht fair!", as I 'forgot' how many points were awarded and wrote too many on one team's chart on the whiteboard. We played 'Beat the teacher/Repeat if true', where the vocab was on the WB and I pointed at each in turn and said them out loud; pupils have to repeat it if I say the right one and if I say the wrong one, they remain silent and win the point, or I win the point if they make a sound. First to 5 wins. There were lots of opportunities for "Das ist nicht fair", "nein", "ja", which they delighted in!
When I needed someone to explain, they wore the hat, but this happened only once today and the pupils who were struggling last lesson, really pulled it out of the bag today and got stuck in. Maybe yesterday they were a little shellshocked!
I gave myself 5 minutes at the end to talk about my website (www.wylieweb.weebly.com) in English as I needed to explain about scanning QR codes and other technical stuff!
Here is the slideshow I used (Looks a bit weird below, but if you download it, should be OK! Also photo credits in 'notes' section of PowerPoint):
