Improving Activities

I am going to review two of the "typical Japanese junior high school"communicative activities presented in ETM 3.
The activities I am going to improve are the matching game and the questionnarie.

First, we had better use the macching game with any clear sense of perpose.
For example, when children have to decide a camping schedule which is a school event, they look for a person who has same ideas using the game.
But, we have to change easily if children use and do like this.

Second, the questionaarrie is too simple.
So, we must add more activities to it.
For instance, after this activity, a teacher asks, " Which baseball team does Ken like?" (Ken is a class mate.)
If Hirosi answers the question, he asks, " What color does Kumi like?"
Then, a person who answers a question makes questions.
Students have to talk and conversation with a lot of classmates to answer.
In this way, they can ask and answer well.
