Procedure (40-47 minutes)
Tell Ss they will be discussing in groups the reading on slide 1. I will proceed to read the question aloud and then ask if it needs to be read again. Next I will put everyone in breakout rooms to discuss for 2 minutes. I will bring everyone back and
Move onto slide two where I will direct everyone to the link in the chat for the powerpoint. Locate their slide with their name on it and spend 3 minutes working individually. Show the correct word to definition on the slide for everyone to see. Form: #1 Ask, is traditional an adjective or noun? #4 What would you call this?- give ex. of "Coming of Age" book or movie Pronunciation: show slide of emphasis and lead the class in repeating back to me the pronunciation.
Provide Link to Google Form #1. Instruct for Ss to read as fast as they can because they will only have 2 min to read and answer the question at the bottom to choose the best title. Make partners and have them direct message the other person to check their answer. Give demo of what this will look like by sharing screen and writing a message to a student saying " I answered answer B, what did you say?" after 30 sec of chatting via direct message I will give the correct answer to the class
Tell Ss they will be reading the article again but this time they should take more time reading. If they come upon words they don't know just try and move past them. Also while reading keep in mind the 6 questions at the end. Students will get 7 min to read the article and answer the questions. After completing the form they will be put in breakout rooms to discuss their answers. This will take place for 3 min. OC: go over the answers 1.T 2. they go to temple/wear kimonos 3. all of the above 4. because it represents the freedom to come and go from the house 5.Yes 6.No
