This week's lesson is about PANTOMIME and at the end of the class, everyone will have a chance to "act out" with pantomime our science vocabulary words to get a few classmates to guess what the word is.
1) We will start class with the 1st chapter from a book all about the Apollo 11 mission.
2a) (optional) I was hoping to introduce PANTOMIME with showing this super funny 30 sec commercial:
2b) We will briefly talk about pantomime and then get up
and play a game called "Red Ball Thank You" - in this game we start with a red ball while we stand in a big circle. When passing the imaginary red ball, we must first make eye contact with who you want to pass the ball to, say their name along with the color of the ball. The person receiving the ball will say, "Red ball thank you."
After we play that a little bit, we'll switch to another game called
3) "Sparkle Ball" where they will all have a chance to practice spelling our 8 vocabulary words.
This is with an actual ball and with each pass of the real ball, the next letter of the word is said.
4) We'll have a seat and have a more in depth lesson on PANTOMIME to get ready for...
...Lastly,
the big finale, we will break into three groups of about 8 students each as we
jump back up to each get, folded up on small paper, one of the vocabulary words.
5) We will use PANTOMIME to get the rest of the small group to figure out/guess what each word is.
