Next week you will HAVE the first of your two exams. You will be SHOWN about 10 minutes of one of the assigned videos and be GIVEN directions like this:

For each of the following question words, write one (ONLY ONE) discussion question about something specific that you saw or heard in the video. Use a different verb in each question.

You will GET about 25 minutes to WRITE seven questions, one of which will BEGIN with each of these Wh- question words: who, what, which, when, where, how, and why. You will NOT be ASKED to divide the questions into 4区 , but you must use the question patterns correctly AND have the verb cluster (m V) in an appropriate tense. You might, therefore, WANT to REVIEW Lesson 7.

Make sure that you MAKE questions that are specific questions about the video story, NOT vague or mechanical questions（曖昧質問又は決まり文句が点数無し）. Use people's names OR describe them in a noun phrase. Only after that can you use pronouns (he, she, they) to refer to them. Questions like these will get 0 points:

These are the kinds of questions someone could ask, even if they HAD NEVER WATCHED the video clip.

Dictionaries will NOT be allowed. TRY NOT to WORRY about tiny spelling mistakes. Native speakers MAKE them all the time. Just SPELL things the way that they SOUND.

BRING your Student ID Card to class and BE PREPARED to TURN OFF your cellphone. (Do you know how?)

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 9.

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 (x4) - 7 (x1).

Each group will CHOOSE it's own scene from the assigned videos. WATCH the scene on your cellphone or tablet with the sound OFF. You will be DISCUSSING what happened, rather than what people said. You will HAVE a fresh image of the events in your head as you TALK about the scene.

TIME yourselves and TRY to KEEP the pace lively ... 3 minutes (English Only) for each sentence and 2 minutes (NO talking at all) for Thought Questions.

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).

At the top of your report WRITE
(message #1) your group's name, "Week 9",
(message #2) the leader's name,
(message #3) Plan A: 3-Minute Routine, and
(message #4) Conversation Starter, then
Level 6-7 groups.

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 Distortion Girl.

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).
