Exam #1 for Hybrid Classes
(the Dental classes)
Students in hybrid classes will TAKE the exam when they are in the classroom (Week 10 ... OR ... Week 11).
Students that are online will BREAK UP into their discussion groups, GO to their channels, and START a meeting. USING their share function, they will READ the lecture for Week 11 (whether it is Week 10 ... OR ... Week 11). Then they will do the Group Work as described in the lesson ... until the end of the class period.

Exam #1: Making Questions
(Time Limit: 30 minutes)
Students that are in the classroom will (a) LISTEN to the teacher's explanations and instructions and (b) TAKE the exam on paper.
The exam is to see if you can MAKE English questions about events that you WITNESS (that you hear and see). First I will SHOW you about 10-12 minutes of a video in the classroom. AFTER WATCHING the video you will HAVE 30 minutes to WRITE questions.
LET'S GET ready for today's exam. TURN OFF your cellphones. PUT them in your bags and CLOSE the bags. PUT AWAY everything except the things that you NEED for the exam. PUT AWAY your pencil cases, too.
Please TAKE a look at the exam sheet ... WRITE your student number and your name (in Roman letters, of course). LOOK at the directions on the front side.
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(注意:助動詞は 自由 ですけど 同じ動詞は 二度と 使わない様に).
You will 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.
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). Questions like these will get 0 points:
X Who is Mikoto? X Who did Ayame talk to? X What do you think about Sadame? X Which doctor is younger, Ayame or Mikoto? X How about Dr. Sena? X Why did Dr. Noguchi become a doctor?

These are the kinds of questions someone could ask, even if they HAD NEVER WATCHED the video clip.
Now LOOK at the back side of the exam paper. It has a list of characters names. You may LOOK at these names and WRITE down brief notes (in Japanese or English) about the video story as you WATCH the video. DO NOT TURN the paper over or WRITE on the front side ... until the video is FINISHED and the teacher TELLS you to START. Then you will HAVE 30 minutes to WRITE the seven wh- questions. During this time you may LOOK at your notes and the characters' names on the back side.
Now are you ready for the exam? Do you have any questions? It is your last chance to ASK ... so, please ASK the teacher NOW.

Level Check after Exam #1
Now LET'S CHECK your English Conversation skills USING the 1-minute Level Checks. The teacher WILL GIVE you 2-minutes, so that you WILL HAVE enough time to WRITE your answers.
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 to FIND my contact information. |
