Names: Who's Who?
Body Stories is a drama series about the human body. The English dialogs may be difficult for students to understand. Anyone, however, can UNDERSTAND a lot of what HAPPENS simply by WATCHING carefully, even with the sound off. We can SEE what people are doing. We can HEAR (if we don't turn off the sound) their tone of voice and TELL if they are happy, in love, angry, or sad. Do NOT FOCUS on the details of the dialog at first. CONCENTRATE on the story. And to do that, you NEED to KNOW who the characters are--MATCH the names with the faces.
Holly Jones is a singer in a rock band. The other members are Dave, Sally, and Alex. Alex's girlfriend Monica hangs out with them. Holly shares an apartment (British: flat) with Rachael.
Saijo no Meii AND Unsung Cinderella were TV hospital dramas (based on mangas). The Japanese dialogs are easy for students to understand. Mikoto Saijo is a new hot-shot surgeon at Heisei Central Hospital, just back from America. Kurumi Aihara is a new pharmacist, who is training at Yorosu Hospital. Midori Aoi is her mentor.
Exam #2: Extended Answers
Today you will HAVE your second of three exams. It will be an in-class exam. There is no online option. When the exam begins you will be PRESENTED with 6 questions and be GIVEN directions like this:
You will GET 30 minutes to ANSWER the two questions ... with extended answers. You will NOT be ASKED to divide noun phrases OR sentences into 4区 .
We will NOT WATCH any videos today, prior to the exam. You should have PREPARED for the exam by REVIEWING Saijo no Meii episode 1, Holly Jones and influenza, and Unsung Cinderella episode 5. Try to REMEMBER people's names AND FILL your head with as much information about the stories as possible, so that you will HAVE lots of concrete, interesting information to ADD to your two short answers.
I'll GIVE you some time to REFRESH your memory about the names and events in these three stories. You can USE Plan A--Speak English, then write English--and (Haruna's) Steps 2 and 3--a noun phrase describing one of the people in the story => the name => a sentence about something they did.

| 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. |
