Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
- Use birthday-related vocabulary in Chinese to create a shopping list or invitation card
- Present a group project orally in Chinese to the class
- Demonstrate listening comprehension of a song, teacher instructions, and peer presentations in Chinese
- Write a short reflection in Chinese describing something learned, a comment, or a question
Teaching tips
- Use the flyswatter vocabulary game as a review before the main activity, since it's built into the lesson as the designated review step
- Let each group choose between the shopping-list and invitation-card options rather than assigning one, since the plan explicitly frames these as parallel choices
- Provide the visual word bank and sentence starters up front for differentiation, then remove them only for advanced students who are directed to write independently
- Use the bilingual exit ticket format as a quick formative assessment at the end of class
Skills covered
- Chinese language
- World languages
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
Do all four student groups complete the same activity, or do different groups do different activities?
Pairs of groups do the same activity — the plan splits the class into four groups, with two groups doing the shopping-list option and two doing the invitation-card option.
