Plan, Do, See ...
See What Happens

I have EXPLAINED and DEMONSTRATED (1) the 3-Minute Routine and (2) how to USE Thought Questions to CONNECT sentences into a smooth, hopefully interesting conversation. You have TAKEN several Flash Quizzes, which TEST your ability to CREATE (declarative) sentences and questions. Now that you KNOW the Plan, all that you NEED to Do is KEEP PRACTICING. Let's See what HAPPENS.

SET today's Flash Quiz with about 5 minutes of lead time,
then WATCH a video clip for 2-3 minutes.


After the Flash Quiz ... GO to your channels on Teams. One person will OPEN a new meeting. The others will JOIN that meeting. Then WRITE your first message: Your group's name ... and ... Week 6.

CHOOSE your Leader. Then WRITE your second message: the Leader's name.

Finally WRITE the plan in two messages:
(third message) Plan A: 3-Minute Routine and
(fourth message) Conversation Starter, then Level 6 - 7 Pairs.

Let's CONTINUE with other scenes. I'll CALL OUT the times.


If there is time, HAVE the Group Leaders TAKE CHARGE of the timing and directions.

Time for You to Practice

During the Group Work Leaders should MAKE SURE that all students that are online KEEP their microphones ON (so that they can SPEAK) AND their cameras ON (so that they can SEE each other).

Group X2@Week 6
Leader: Hanako
Plan A: 3-Minute Routine
Conversation Starter,
then Level 6-7 pairs
 
(()): Somplace ... [8]
about 40-42 min
((R)): Kobayashi was talking to Hanako in Hanako's ...
(()): ((Who else was there?))
(()): They were alone.
Now LET's GO to your channels on Teams to ENJOY some English practice in your discussion groups.
You NEED to CHOOSE a leader.

At the top of your report WRITE
(message #1) your group's name, "Week 6",
(message #2) the leader's name,
(message #3) Plan A: 3-Minute Routine, and
(message #4) Conversation Starter, then
Level 6-7 pairs
.

Follow the 3-Minute Routine explained in Lesson 1 for each sentence (and question, perhaps). The sentences should be about scenes from Someplace in This Universe and/or Shodo Girls.

If you HAVE any questions about what you are supposed to be DOING, first DISCUSS the problem with your group, then ... if you are still in doubt, DO what you or your group THINK is right, (RAISE your hand if you're in the classroom) and SHOW it to the teacher (the PDS Cycle).

These lessons are DESIGNED to HELP Japanese students
to LEARN to SPEAK English as a foreign language. They could
be REVERSE ENGINEERED to help English speakers learn to
speak Japanese as a foreign language.

I would be thrilled to SHARE my ideas about teaching foreign
languages with other teachers. You can CLICK the link above
