Your teacher has EXPLAINED the 4区 structures of Japanese sentences AND English Questions. I HOPE you UNDERSTAND those two 4区 patterns now. If you DO, then it is time to PRACTICE them. If you DO NOT, then perhaps you will COME to UNDERSTAND them as you PRACTICE with the other students in your group.

Yes, you can LEARN by PRACTICING with other students. If you do not HAVE any confidence about the patterns as you TRY to USE them, 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 your work to the teacher (the PDS Cycle).

Today we will USE Plan B and Plan A AND (Haruna's) Steps 3 and 4: sentences that are CONNECTED by questions. Plan B3 (Write Japanese sentences, then speak English) for the sentences in the Conversation AND Plan A4 (Ask English questions, then write them) for the Linking Questions.

At the beginning of your Group Meeting you must WRITE the Four-Message Heading at the top of the Chat Box. In the second message you WRITE the Group Leader's name.

If you are online, be sure to turn your camera and your microphone ON, so that you can DISCUSS the choice of leader with the other students. Do NOT WRITE any group discussions in the Chat Box. TALK to each other with your microphones (and cameras) ON. The Chat Box is for your Heading, your Conversation Starters, and your Conversations about assigned videos ONLY.

Conversations START with a sentence (a Conversation Starter) and CONTINUE with connected sentences. Before the conversation BEGINS each student in the group will DECIDE how they would LIKE to START the conversation. They will DECIDE in Japanese and WRITE a 4区和文 (Japanese) Conversation Starter about a scene in one of the assigned video stories ... NO discussion（勝手に　ばらばらの和文を　出す）. Each student WRITES one (ONLY ONE) 4区和文 .

AFTER these three or four sentences have been WRITTEN in the Teams Chat Box, it is time to DISCUSS them and DECIDE which one will PRODUCE the best (longest, most interesting) conversation. TALK to each other with your microphones (and cameras) ON.

PUT「O」in front of the best sentence and「X」in front of the others. The sentence with the「O」is the first sentence in your group's conversation ... your Conversation Starter. It should clearly IDENTIFY an interesting scene in the story. The student whose sentence won the「O」SAYS the sentence in English, then everyone in the group should REPEAT it. The Japanese sentence should, of course, have been DIVIDED into 4区 (see the examples below).

After REPEATING the Conversation Starter, CONTINUE the conversation. All subsequent sentences must be CONNECTED to sentences that have APPEARED in the conversation before them. There should be NO more discussion, especially in Japanese--NO more 「O」or「X」s--just a natural conversation, written in Japanese, BUT spoken in English.
