Introduction Beep 3 Teacher’s Resource Book offers information and tips to help you get the most from all the teacher’s materials. It also contains additional photocopiable resources to help encourage and support the children’s learning. There are nine different sections, with graded sections to ensure that all levels of the class advance. Weaker students will gain from the extra material and stronger students will have further resources to stimulate their learning. Using the sections Beep optional worksheets can be photocopied according to the needs of individual children or the class as a whole. There are suggestions on when each activity should be done in the Teacher’s Book to assure that the content and vocabulary have been covered in the lesson. There are nine sections. • • • • • • • • •

Tips • Get enough photocopies of the worksheets in advance with a couple of spare copies just in case. • Keep a copy for yourself to mark on any comments about how the children found the activity. • Reinforcement worksheets are useful for children struggling with the level of the Student’s Book and who appreciate the chance to revise the grammar and vocabulary covered. They can be given as a homework activity. • Extension worksheets can be used for fast finishers, for a more advanced study of the level, or given as a homework activity.

Sections Arts and Crafts The Arts and Crafts section of Beep 3 Teacher’s Resource Book includes one template per unit to photocopy and do as a full-class activity. The activities are easy to do, with step by step illustrations provided in Beep 3 Teacher’s Book. These activities are an ideal way for the children to practise what they have learnt in a more relaxed, creative atmosphere. DVD Beep 3 DVD is an entertaining teaching resource divided into various sections for each unit. We recommend you take full advantage of this resource to liven up classes, bring the characters to life and create further interest in the Student’s Book. The Animated story for each unit allows the teacher and the children to work with the story in an alternative and fun way. The Real Kids section contains short conversations featuring native British children in a natural setting using vocabulary and content from the unit. This is an excellent opportunity for the children to see native-speaking children talking in their own language. This type of communication, in which other cultural and social elements come into play, is probably the easiest way to create interest in learning English furthermore when, as in this case, they are listening to children their own age. There are two photocopiable worksheets for each unit: one for the animated story and one for the Real Kids. The full script, for Real Kids, and answer keys are provided at the end of the section. Note: Both the Animated story and the Real Kids section can be played with subtitles for reading practice. Depending on the level and confidence of your class you may like to play short excerpts

from the DVDs, once without the subtitles (this is especially challenging for the stronger students), then with subtitles for better understanding and finally again without the subtitles. The last time can be particularly satisfying for children as they become familiar with the sounds of English, helped by the visual references of the DVD.

Language

The Reader worksheets are designed to be used with Beep 3 Reader. The Reader worksheets fully exploit the section, making the most out of the children’s enjoyment of the story. Teaching tips and answers are provided at the end of the section.

The Language section includes three worksheets for each unit: Reinforcement, for children below the level of the class, Consolidation, for children at the level of the class, and Extension, for children above the level of the class. The worksheets are similar, but the level of difficulty varies. Answer keys for all the worksheets are provided at the end of the section. Newcomers The Newcomers section provides topic based worksheets that are designed to be used by children joining the class at different times of the year. They provide basic vocabulary activities that will help the integration of children who are new to the class. Answer keys for all the worksheets are provided at the end of the section.

The Cut-out section provides extra copies of the Student Cut-outs. These can be used for children who have lost, misplaced or damaged their Cut-outs, or simply as a sample for the teacher. Reader

Reading and Writing The Reading and Writing section consists of worksheets based on the activity types found in the Young Learner Exams, but using the vocabulary found in every unit of the Student’s Book. Answer keys for all the worksheets are provided at the end of the section.

Phonics The Phonics section provides one worksheet per unit. These are designed to be used after lesson 7, alongside the Tongue Twister and Beep poster. Level 3 works on consonant and vowel sounds, which are sometimes difficult for children to pronounce. As they work through the Phonics worksheets, the phonemes and graphemes are repeated throughout, allowing the children to become familiar with them. Phonics is a very useful tool to focus on pronunciation and spelling difficulties. An early exposure to the sounds of English should prevent greater difficulties with understanding and pronunciation at a later stage. Answer keys for all the worksheets are provided at the end of the section.

The Beep i-solutions pack includes two CD-ROMs : • Beep i-book • Activity Generator Tips and more information on these solutions can be found on page 5. Other resources Flashcards Flashcards are an excellent classroom tool to help introduce, reinforce and review vocabulary. Beep comes with a pack of 71 full colour flashcards illustrating key vocabulary. Instructions for using the flashcards are given in the teaching notes for each lesson. Each picture flashcard has a corresponding word card which can be used to help develop children’s reading skills, to assist in writing activities and to use in matching activities. The Beep flashcards can also be used in a variety of games which are explained in the Teacher’s Book. Children learn best when they enjoy what they are doing and games provide a way to engage children’s interest and enthusiasm. Games offer valuable opportunities to use the language for real purposes and provide enjoyable occasions for repeating and reinforcing the language, supporting retention and recall. Games which incorporate active methods using physical response are ideal for assimilating language. The children also have their own key vocabulary cut-outs which can be used in class or at home. There are games and activity ideas in the Teacher’s Book. The children can make envelopes or use food bags to store their cut-outs.

side is used to introduce the Beep story which allows the teacher and the children to focus on pronunciation and phonics. The Teacher’s Book gives full instructions of when and how to use the posters. Tips • Put two nails or drawing pins on the wall or in the wood of the blackboard and hang up the poster using two bulldog clips to avoid damage and the mess of Blu-Tack or adhesive tape. The poster is easily displayed and reversed. • Hang the posters at the height of the children so that they can easily see them and participate with the activities. Story cards Storytelling is very much part of the primary curriculum and Beep provides an entertaining story in each unit. Apart from a poster and cut-outs to aid with the storytelling, there is also a pack of 64 full colour story cards – 8 per story. On one side, the story cards have an enlarged version of the illustrations for each story in the Student’s Book and the text for that part of the story on the reverse.

Interactive activities The interactive activities from Beep CD-ROM have been included in the Teacher’s i-book.

The interactive board games in the review units can be used to revise the term core contents with the whole class. Roll the interactive dice and move the counter to the corresponding square. Ask the children to answer the question. Alternatively, you can form groups and ask each group to answer taking turns. The use of the clock tool from the IWB specific tools is also a good way to make the revision more challenging for the children and it also allows them to stop and think before they answer.
