Topic/Skills: Giving Directions Purpose: To practice giving and listening to directions Gist: Each group of students get a large map with a toy car and directions. A chosen driver will drive his toy car around while listening to other students give directions to an unknown place. Download Information: This download has many components because the map was intended to be poster sized. You must print the individual parts, and glue/tape them together. All the directions that accompany this download is for you to adjust. All my handouts were written to reflect the places and streets that I labeled on my map. Please adjust according to your own map!
Have you explored the JET Website closely? They’ve compiled a booklet with idea lessons, too. Check it out! Ideas for Elementary, Junior, and High Schools: Teaching Materials Collection These are some of the activities and handouts I’ve used in my classes. You may freely download and adjust them as you like. I did not include the lesson plans, as my personal notes may confuse you. Most of the directions for the handouts are self-explanatory. I made these on an Apple, but used Microsoft Word; the format may be distorted if you download them on a Windows operating system.
These were designed for classrooms with no access to technological supplements. One thing I kept in mind when I designed these was to have practice that would connect back to anything that could appear on exams. Exam scores are a huge, if not entire part of student grades. I think that although lessons may involve creative non-traditional practice, it’ll be a disservice to not connect your teaching to some test preparation. My JTE also helped me write the Japanese parts so I assure you that those parts are probably correct. You may download these lessons directly from my free server, filesnack.com. |
