*I think this lesson would be at the beginning of this rather long unit. I would
use this lesson as an introductory lesson before beginning to read A Samurais
Tale.
Class activities (what you/students will do)
Activity 1: I will briefly talk about
Japan and their language of Japanese.
I will ask if any students know any
Japanese terms. I will show a short
clip on modern Japan called Journey
between Tradition and Modern Life
which I have put in my resources at
the end. (15 minutes)
(30 minutes)
Closure/reminders
Remember to keep this list handy when we are reading A Samurais Tale
because we will see all of these words throughout this unit.
Assessment (how you will know students met the objectives - include rubrics)
For activity 1: Students will be assessed on their group participation and
presentation, as well as the script they wrote. I will check the script for the
use of terms as well as grammar use. I will also check that the presentation
worksheet is filled out with accurate summaries.
Accommodations/differentiation
Students have a choice of scene, so if students finish really early, they can add
more to it or practice for presenting. Students can write about the setting of
their scene if they finish early too. If other students are taking more time, these
students have something to do. If groups are still struggling with an idea after a
few minutes, I will provide a list of examples or topics to choose from.
Reflection/evaluation (after lesson is taught)
I havent taught this lesson, but I enjoyed planning out different ideas.
