DETAILED EXPLANATION:

  • I would demonstrate the activity first by writing a kanji character on the blackboard that the students are sure not to know. Then ask, "Can you read read this kanji?" or "Can you say this kanji?"
  • Next hand out the prints. There is an A version and B version for one half of the class and the other.
  • Students ask the other half of the class for the kanji's pronounciation not written on the worksheet by practicing "Can you read/say this kanji?" many, many times.
  • When finished getting all of the answers, students ask the JTE for the meaning of each kanji.
  • If there is time left, ask any volunteers if they can write any of the kanji. "Can you write...?"

TIPS/CAUTIONS:

  • If you can come up with any variations or improvements, please write them in the comment section.
  • I would print both pages of each version (Version A / Version B) on one A4 size paper using both sides.
