Questions from the teacher:
これは だれ ですか。(Showing a sheet)
おにいさんは なんにん いますか。
じゃあ、〜さんの かぞくは なんにんかぞく ですか。

Introduction (5 min.)
- The teacher will pretend to be a Deai friend, and introduce his/her family with generic terms.


(Holding Kojiro's family photo sheet: YK-P05)
"こんにちは。ぼくは こうじろう です。これは ちち です。はは です。あに です。そして、いもうと です。"
- The students will guess the differences between "honorific-polite" and "generic" terms to address the same family members.
- The students will compare and discuss the two terms with English terms, "dad" and "father."

Drills (5 min.)
- Repeat and memorize "generic" terms.

Listening (5 min.)
- The teacher will pretend to be a Deai friend and describe his/her family. The students, looking at Worksheet #2 completed on the previous day, will guess who is being talked about. The student may do the teacher's role by taking turns.


Teacher : わたしは あねが ふたり います。
Student : ゆうじんさん ですか。
Teacher : はい、そうです。
