The
example given illustrates how the activity is conducted. Here, Mizushima Yu is
the Deai student selected. If possible within time limits, repeat the procedure,
selecting a different Deai student each time. (Try to choose a Deai student who
seems interesting to your class, for whom they feel some affinity.)

childhood with their own.

Worksheet #2 as a model.)

from the list of Japanese words to fill in the worksheet. For more advanced students,
have them read the Japanese text and write appropriate sentences to fill in the
