Busan Then and Now

2. Let’s chant song (Student book pg. 9)

• Sing the chant together.

3. Student book pg 8

• Review target vocabulary through actions and explanations.

4. Interactive Reading — Student Book

• Read the story aloud, one page at a time. Read slowly and clearly. Pause after each sentence or short phrase.
• pg 16-17: underline the words that speak about the house in the past. Reinforce the idea of the past again using the pictures and explain that the past is not now.
• pg 18-19: circle the words that speak about the train now. The previous prompt focused on the past; now we focus on the present. Explain again that the present is now, today, happening.
• pg 20-21: find when and where in Busan you would like to see. Ask students to share when they choose and where this is in Busan. Ask if they have been to these places before.

5. Picture Walk (Student Book page 16-21)

• Open to page 16. Before reading the text, focus on the illustrations. Go through each page (16-21), one at a time.
• For each picture, ask open-ended questions: “What do you see in this picture?” “Do you know the name of this village?” “What do the houses look like?” “What did they look like in the past?” “Were they as colourful?” “This is the station, what do you take at the station?” “Have you ever ridden this train before?” “This is what trains look like today and this is what they were like in the past — what’s the difference?”

6. Reinforce vocabulary

• pg 16: “The houses are colorful, can you tell me what colors you see?”
• pg 17: “What color were the houses in the past? They were gray. Do you remember what gray means?”
• pg 18: “The train is quiet and smooth. Have you ever been on this train before?”
• pg 19: “The train was loud and shaky in the past. Can you show me what shaky means?” (Show them physically if they don’t understand.)
• Allow them to engage as a whole so they don’t feel pressured to speak.

7. Story Review

• a) “Let’s look at the story again and remember what happened.”
• b) Open the Student Book to page 10 and go through each page until page 21.
• c) For each page, ask key questions related to the pictures and events: “Where did they find the old glass?” “Why was it special?” “Are the ships big or small? Fast or slow?” “Can you tell me the name of this village?” “What colors can you see?” “Where is the train?” “Is it smooth or shaky?”

7. Story reenactment

• Assign characters to different students (give everyone a chance) and physically act out the story. Have lots of enthusiasm and encourage the students to be enthusiastic and have fun.

8. Wrap up

• Wrap up with the Chant on Student book pg. 9.

1. WB pg 5-6 — Story activity

• a) Go to workbook page 5 and look at the sentences. Select the correct response from the students and have them circle it in their books. Read the sentences together and interact enthusiastically to get them to choose the correct option.
• b) Workbook page 6. Use the stickers provided in the book to have the students put the matching past pictures on the present pictures. Encourage individual work; when everyone is complete, go through the answers together. Review each vocabulary word as it is introduced by asking the students where the pictures are and going over the learnt adjectives.

2. Skills (Student book pg. 22)

• a) Open the student book to page 22. There is a sticker activity that focuses on the different seasons in Busan.
• b) First go over the seasons: write the 4 seasons and their months on the board and practice saying them with the students. Ask them if they know the seasons and stress the order of them. Get them to engage by asking what their favourite season is.
• c) Write some activities (skiing, having a picnic, cycling, etc.) on the board and go over them. Get everyone involved and write an activity on the board if a student gives you a new one.
• d) Practice the pronunciation of the seasons, the months and the different activities one more time. You can speed it up or slow it down to make it more fun. Be sure to check for understanding and take your time practicing until all students are comfortable.
• e) Let the students put the stickers in the correct place. Encourage them to try by themselves and then, when everyone is finished, check the answers together.

3. Seasonal Four Corners

• a) Preparation: label each corner of the room with a season — Spring, Summer, Fall/Autumn, Winter. Use pictures if possible (flower, sun, leaf, snowflake).
• b) Teach the season actions. Spring — “Smell the flowers”. Summer — “Swim”. Fall — “Catch the leaves”. Winter — “Shiver”. Practice each one.
• Variations: action only (do the action without saying the season); season only (say the season without doing the action); tricky teacher (say the season but do the wrong action).
• Student leaders: let 2–3 students be the caller. They can call “Winter!” or act like swimming, smelling flowers, etc. This boosts confidence and keeps the game exciting.

4. Wrap up

• a) Review the vocabulary practiced in the game and stickers activity. Ask questions to check for understanding.
• b) Enthusiastically wave them goodbye and say “See you next time!”
