Japanese: Daily Routines Unit
- Zip
Description
This resource provides a wide variety of materials to enable teachers to confidently teach a unit based on describing daily routines. As I teach at the Primary School level I have created the unit for my Year 6 classes. However, depending on learner experience and knowledge the materials could be used at higher levels.
I have adopted a different approach from previous units. I have utilised aspects of ‘The Language Gym’, by Gianfranco Conti and Steve Smith, together with techniques used in ‘Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling’ (TPRS).
Rather than listing a teaching sequence separate from the materials, in this resource, the suggested teaching approaches are found before the materials and resources used, each step of the way. I hope this approach is useful and easy to follow.
You will find
· Learning Intention and Success Criteria sample
· Australian Curriculum integration reference
· Sentence Builder charts for reference by students and demonstration by the teacher.
· An original song, with song chart, a karaoke music file, a demo file of me singing(!), and the original song from Genki English – made available here with permission from Richard Graham. I included the original song just so you could hear the melody ( the original is not about Daily Routines though).
