Warm-Up:
Begin by introducing the Can-Do Statements for today’s activity. Have the students watch the Video that details ordering food at a Japanese café.
今日の活動のためのCan-Doステートメントを紹介することから始めます。日本のカフェでの食事の注文について詳しく説明しているビデオを生徒に見てもらいます。
Use the Google Slide to review the phrases you would use/hear at a restaurant.
Googleスライドを使用して、レストランで使用/聞くフレーズを確認します。
Try to use context clues from these slides and the video to help the students understand how restaurants and ordering food in Japanese work, but a little English is okay if it helps students understand.
これらのスライドとビデオからのコンテキストの手がかりを使用して、学生が日本語でレストランや食べ物を注文する方法を理解できるようにしてください。ただし、学生が理解するのに役立つのであれば、少し英語でもかまいません。
Main Activity:
Next is O’s Lunch! First, talk about the menu, the food, and the prices with the students. Ask them what they might order, what they might consider expensive or cheap, delicious, or weird.
次はO’s Lunchです！まず、メニュー、食べ物、値段について生徒たちと話し合います。何を注文するのか、何を高価または安価、おいしい、または奇妙だと考えるのかを尋ねます。
Second, act out a restaurant scenario. The Facilitator will be the waiter, and the students will be the customers. Make sure to invite them “into” the restaurant, ask how many people they are, and take down their orders for both drinks and meals.
次に、レストランのシナリオを実行します。ファシリテーターがウェイターになり、学生が顧客になります。必ずレストランに「招待」し、人数を尋ね、飲み物と食事の両方の注文を取り下げてください。
If the activity is going quickly because of ambitious or few students, challenge students by having them act out the scenario again but one of the students will become the server. Only do this if time and students’ ability allow. Use your best judgment.
野心的な生徒や生徒が少ないためにアクティビティが急速に進んでいる場合は、シナリオをもう一度実行してもらうことで生徒に挑戦しますが、生徒の1人がサーバーになります。時間と生徒の能力が許す場合にのみこれを行ってください。あなたの最善の判断を使用してください。
Third, have the students order again, but this time they have a friend with them who does not speak Japanese.
- 家族と友達は日本語を話せません。みんなのために注文してください。
Give the students a scenario for them to add to their order
- 例えば：友達はトマトが好きです。
Wrap-Up:
Ask them the farewell question, “What is your favorite food?”
- 「一番好きな食べ物は何？」
End of activity:
- Read Can-Do statements once more and have students evaluate
their confidence.
(Use thumbs up/thumbs down or download our student cards.) - Encourage students to be honest in their self-evaluation.
- Pay attention, and try to use feedback for future acivities!
NCSSFL-ACTFL Can-Do Statements:
