  2. Your Responsibilities as Lesson-Planner • Four Types of JTEs • JTE who gives you no notice, but does the plan him/herself • JTE who talks to you about the plan in advance and does the plan him/herself • JTE who talks to you in advance and tells you to prepare a certain activity/whatever you want • JTE who gives you no notice and wants you to have something ready for next period • You should get a monthly or weekly schedule • But you should also have activities on hand

  3. What Elements Make a Good Activity? • A combination of the four skills, as balanced as possible • Special cases like writing/reading classes • Students should get up and move out of their seats if possible • Note: this is not always possible • You and your JTE interact • Again, not always possible • Use English to accomplish something, like communication or cultural understanding, something with broader context • Students should be doing/speaking more than you are

  4. Types of Activities • Party Games • Brain teasers/riddles/puzzles • Special Language • Holidays • Culture Activities • Comparison of American and Japanese high school • Cursive writing • Adaptations of methods with different content • Four Corners • Read and Run

  5. Types of Activities • Party Games • Brain teasers/riddles/puzzles • Special Language • Holidays • Culture Activities • Comparison of American and Japanese high school • Cursive writing • Adaptations of methods with different content • Four Corners • Read and Run

  6. What To Do When You Have NO Time To Prepare • Keep a physical notebook of activity printouts in your bag always • A flash drive would also work, if your schools have reliable computers and your activities don’t require cutting/pasting/etc. • Reuse activities between schools • Keep sticky notes on the copies noting what homerooms have done which activities • Or make notes on your schedules • Adapt different methods to different contexts • If a class hasn’t done a certain type of activity in awhile

  7. Extra Tips • Get to know your homerooms and names of students • Take notes on the temperaments of your homerooms and how activities were received • Always be modifying and improving your activities and the language you use to explain them • Be observant!
