2006 Lesson 1 It's different from Korea

The focus of this lesson is different cultures.  I will be using my family as the main example.

Part 1 Copy a short dialogue- <Make it in powerpoint and save it to the ipod as a jpeg file.  Make it big so they can copy it.>
Part 2 Picture Presentation of my family
Part 3 Game- "Ask a Question and/or Tell Me a Difference Pong"

PART 1
Dialogue 3/4th passage

    Last month, I went back to America.  First, I went to Florida to go to Disney World! 
Second, I went to my home in Delaware.  I was very happy to see my house.  It is very big. 
But when it snows I must shovel a lot. 
    My family might look strange.  My parents adopted my sister Jill and I. 
Later they had my sister Jenna.  We might look different, but we love each other very much.

5/6th grade passage

    Last month, I went back to America for a vacation.  But first I went to Florida to see my parent's new house and to go to Disney world.  After my trip to Florida, I went to my home in Delaware.  My house has a big yard and it has many rooms.  When it snows, I must shovel a lot.
    My family might look strange.  My mother and father are both white.  My sister Jill and I are both Korean and my sister Jenna is white.  Although we might not look like a family from far away, we are and we love each other very much.

PART 2
Picture presentation.  Focus on differences.  Say things like,

My house has 5 bedrooms and it is has a yard.  Is your house the same or different?
My parents are white are your parent's white? 
I am adopted are you adopted?
My cousins Steve and Heather are also adopted.  Do you know anyone that is adopted? Me.
It snows alot in my hometown. Does it snow a lot in your hometown?
etc.  I wouldn't get them to repeat everything.  I just want them to get into the habit of speaking.
