impressive: The students get stars next to their names for great answers and participating in class. I explained impressive as something that deserves a star, it makes you say, "Wow! Good job!" When students draw ideas and words from previous Units or lessons, that's impressive. A word that is unlimited in terms of how often I can use it.
get busy: Since they already know "busy," that was half the battle. If you aren't doing your work, teacher tells you to "get busy" and start doing your work. Considering we do work in workbooks at least 3 times a day, this phrase is going to be used quite often now that they understand it.
Tell me and I'll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I'll understand.
What's the deal?
Word of the Day and Phrase of the Day is for my ESL class of 18 19 Taiwanese five to seven-year-olds. Most of them happen to be brilliant, so they need/love new things they can learn out of the textbook.
My goal for the WOD and POD is to introduce something that I can use during class at least a few times everyday for an indefinite time period. I'm not all about giving them a big word that most English speakers don't even know just because it's a cool sounding word. Many of the Words and Phrases are related and can be used in contrast to each other.
Suggestions are greatly appreciated, as it is actually a lot harder to meet the above description than I had originally anticipated. Here they are along with how I explain them:
