Our Core Value: Respect

"Respect yourself and others will respect you." – Confucius

Respect is super important in our classroom, just like it is in a movie crew! When everyone respects each other, we create a safe and fun place to learn and share ideas. This means listening to your classmates, valuing different opinions, and being kind to everyone.

Just as every monster in Monsters, Inc. plays a vital role, every student here is important, and we value what each of you brings to our class. Let's make sure we show respect in every interaction!

First Term Topics:

• Film and drama.

Our Class Agenda

1. Introduce Yourself! 2. Your student CV. 3. Classroom rules. 4. ClassDojo Adventure. 5. English Expectations.

Lights, Camera, Introduce Yourself and CV!

Just like actors introduce themselves to the director, it's your turn to shine! Tell us your name, your favorite thing to do outside of school, and one movie you watched recently that you really enjoyed (or even one you didn't!).

This is your chance to show us your personality and share a little bit about what makes you unique. Don't be shy – every monster has their own special scare, and every student has their own unique story!

Remember, there are no wrong answers, just awesome introductions!

Classroom Communication Rules!

Why do we need rules? Rules are like guidelines that help us all work together smoothly and safely. They create a fair environment where everyone feels comfortable and can learn without distractions. Imagine a game without rules – it would be chaos! How do rules help communication? When we all follow the same rules, we understand what's expected. This makes it easier to talk to each other, share ideas, and work on projects without misunderstandings. It's like having a clear script for our class!

Remember, there are no wrong answers, just awesome introductions!

ClassDojo: Our Star Tracking System!

Welcome to ClassDojo, our amazing tool for celebrating your awesomeness! You'll earn points for things like:

• Participating in class discussions

• Helping your classmates

• Showing respect

• Completing your homework

• Being a fantastic team player!

Your Personal Expectations: What's Your Blockbuster Goal?

Just like filmmakers have goals for their movies (like winning an award or making people laugh), what are your goals for our English class this term?

Think about:

What do you hope to learn? Maybe you want to learn new vocabulary, speak more confidently, or understand English movies better.

What do you want to achieve? Do you want to get a good grade, make new friends, or write a fantastic story?

What are you excited about? Perhaps you're looking forward to our film projects or reading English stories.

Sharing your expectations helps me understand how to best help you succeed and make this class an exciting adventure for everyone!

“She loves singing along to movie soundtracks.”

“They don’t like watching horror films.”

Comparing with adverbs.

We use comparative adverbs to say how actions are different between two people or things.📝 How to form comparative adverbs

• Short adverbs (1 syllable) → add -er
• fast → faster
• hard → harder
• Long adverbs (2+ syllables) → use more / less
• carefully → more carefully
• quickly → less quickly

✅ Examples

• Tom runs faster than Jim. 🏃‍♂️

• She speaks more clearly than her sister. 🗣️

• This boy works harder than the others. 💪

• My dog listens less patiently than your dog. 🐶

🔎 Superlative adverbsWe also use the most / the least / -est for 3+ people or things.

• She sings the most beautifully in the class. 🎶

• He works the hardest of all.

Teacher's tip:

👉

• Adjectives compare nouns: Tom is taller than Jim.

Although

Meaning: even if / despite the fact that We use it to show that something happens in spite of another thing. ✅ Structure: Although + subject + verb, main clause ✅ Examples: -Although it was raining, we went to the park. -Although she is young, she is very responsible. 👉 “Although” can go at the beginning or in the middle of the sentence. We went to the park although it was raining.

Though

Meaning: same as although, but it’s more informal. We often use it at the end of a sentence in spoken English. ✅ Examples: -Though it was late, they kept studying. -The movie was long. I liked it, though.

While

Meaning: can mean “although” or “but,” when showing contrast. (Not only for time!) ✅ Examples: -While I like pizza, I prefer pasta. -While English is easy for me, math is difficult. 👉 “While” shows that both ideas are true, but they contrast.

Activity
