Sub plans for 2009.02.20
Friday, an 8-period Day

Dear Sub,
Thank you very much for taking my classes today. The flu has attacked me. The plans for today are written below.
My cell phone is 773-833-7823, if you need to call me to ask a question.
Yoroshiku onegai shimasu (“regards and I am much obliged to you” in Japanese)



Independent Study Japanese
Three students --
Working together, these students should use their readers, Nihon to no Deai . They should write out answers, complete sentences in Japanese, to the questions on page 59. This will help them review for the vocabulary test on Monday. They may consult the Yookoso textbook, if they wish, and they may use their dictionaries. They should hand the answers in at the end of the class.



Japanese 1
Please hand out computer paper you will find on the desk. Students should, in the Japanese writing system, write out the story of Tiger and Bird that we’ve been practicing. There should be 16 sentences in the story, on the top half of the paper. They may consult each other and consult their worksheets as they do this. Then they should create some kind of illustration appropriate to the story on the bottom of the page and hand the whole thing in at the end of the period.




Japanese 3
Please write the following on the board:
“A Japanese student will come to visit you from March 2nd through March 11th, next month. Your job is to write an email, introducing yourself and inviting your future guest to do a different thing each day. You must use the plain affirmative and plain negative forms, as we have been learning them in this lesson, but you must use all the correct relational particles. Be sure to use as much of the vocabulary from 3 Kimono Ch. 6 as possible, and double-space what you write. Hand the paper in at the end of this period.


Japanese 2
Working in pairs, students must write out the practice dialogue on page 69 of 2 Kimono text, making the choices that interest them. [This is in chapter 5.] As they write it out, they must add the special expressions at the bottom of page 72 where they are appropriate. Use each special expression at least once. Then they must practice their dialogue together. They will have to perform it on Monday, in class, memorized.





AP Japanese and Japanese 4 class
Working in pairs (one AP student with one Japanese 4 student), students should use their readers, Nihon to no Deai . They should write out answers which are complete sentences in Japanese, to the questions on page59. This will help them review for the vocabulary test on Monday. They may consult the Yookoso textbook, if they wish, and they may use their dictionaries. They should hand the answers in at the end of the class.
