- Unit review
We reviewed all the vocabulary and grammar of unit 5, playing a game of pictionary to guess the vocabulary name, then reviewed the use of ‚It’s made of‘, and ‚It’s used for‘. Finally we went over the use of apostrophes to show possession of something. - Unit test

Portfolio: We did possessive apostrophe review via word wall, all 10 in the portfolio.
Moving activity: I had students stand up and touch something made of…, touch something used for… around the classroom, then the students were the teacher and told me and others what to touch. Example: touch something made of plastic, touch something used for reading.
Vocabulary review: In pairs students did a word search/crossword with the vocabulary words. The first pair finished got to pick the video at break and students helped each other find the words
Kahoot: Students were divided into teams and we did a Kahoot to prepare for the test. Each group had a white board and marker and answered drawing the symbols to the corresponding answers. https://create.kahoot.it/details/75240a63-0da1-491c-ba6b-93ef92499f19?drawer=

Mafia: We did one game of Mafia because both classes were mixed today and the students behaved super well!

Portfolio: I had the students think of their favorite item or toy, and write two sentences about it (what’s it used for and what it’s made of) as well as draw it. Then the students read their sentences outlaid and other students guessed the item.
Review: Since we had a mixed class we did a vocabulary review to ensure everyone was up to date on the grammar
SB 62: We listened to the story, and did activities 1-4. Talked about the story and went over words we didn’t know.
WB 62: We did activities 1-3 in partners
Whisper game: As a vocabulary review we played whisper, age where there are two teams lined up to the back of the classroom. I gave each team a vocabulary word which they whispered down the line of their classmates to the final person who ran and hit the corresponding vocabulary photo.
