Materials Needed:WhoAreYou attachments: Opt 1 (smoking) / Opt 2 (smoking changed to reading) Detailed Explanation:After you hand out the worksheets, start with the ‘listening practice’ side. ALT makes sentences according to the picture: "Hiroshi is the person playing cards." The ALT makes sentences according to the picture.To save you some thinking, you are more than welcome to use the following sentences:01. The boy laughing is Hiroshi. (Answer: J)02. The girl smoking is Asami. (B)03. The boy and girl playing cards is Takumi & Marie. (H & I)04. The boy not wearing pants (trousers) is Toshiki. (M)05. The girl reading comic books is Maki. (G)06. The boy wearing sunglasses is Daichi. (L)07. The girl putting on makeup is Takasa. ( D)08. The girl drinking Coke-a-cola is Aya. (K)09. The girls listening to music are Saho & Mizuki. (A & C)10. The boy eating lunch is Kenta. (E)11. The girl talking on the phone is Maya. (P) 12. The girl talking to a boy is Mai. (O)13. The boy sleeping on his desk is Takeshi. (F)14. The girls looking at print club are Mayumi & Hiromi.(R & Q) (In case you don't know, 'print club' are those little photo booths, which are usually located next to the video game section at video game centers.) 15. The girl wearing a hat is Chisato. (N)When all sentences have been read, check students answers and move to the writing section. Here, students write sentences using the target grammar. Variations:This game could be done as a warm-up, revision or end of lesson summary. You could alter the sheet for conversation lessons to make it an information-gap exercise. Teaching Suggestions:You may think about going over the terms on the "writing" section to ensure the students know the vocabulary.I suggest having the students do the writing worksheet first, then pair the students up and have them figure out their partner's listening worksheet. Tips/Cautions:#4 from the list above might confuse some of your students. In Japanese, 'pants' actually means 'underwear', so your students could writing either, "The boy not wearing pants is Toshiki," OR "The boy wearing pants is Toshiki." Comments:(Jan 16, 2012) Nicholas said: I just used this activity again. This time for my 1 nensei who are learning present progressive. I had them simply ask me "What is Hiroshi doing?" and I answered "He's sleeping" and they filled in the sheet. Seemed fine. (Dec 13, 2011) englipatrick (mod) said: This activity practices the Reduced Relative Pronoun practice but can easily be changed up to Relative Pronoun practice: The boy who is laughing is Hiroshi. Also, I changed the name of this game from WHO ARE YOU to FUZAKERUNA PRACTICE. The students thought this was hilarious.(Nov 21, 2011) Nicholas said: Thanks for the activity. Just one thing I noticed: Hiroshi (J) is down as laughing, but the katakana above his name reads 'pecha-kucha'. This is the onomatopoeia for chatting or chattering. If you want to make it clear that he's laughing, you should change it to 'フフ' or something. (Nov 17, 2011) englipatrick (mod) said: @Pete, Thanks. I added updated the worksheet and reloaded it.(Nov 17, 2011) Pete said: I also had success with this one recently. I used the non-smoking version, but it was somewhat blurry/pixelated, so I remade it, cleaning it a bit in Photoshop (and also changed the former smoker to "The girl wearing (high heel) boots..". Here's my cleaned up image if anyone wants it, or if the submitter wants to edit the original: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/431411/ALT/who_are_you_nosmoke.gif(Nov 11, 2011) Wauwy said: Great exercise! The students really got into it. Variations: I used the non-smoking worksheet and changed it to 'the girl wearing boots is _____,' because otherwise the kids couldn't figure out who I meant. Also, for the writing part, I let them draw in their own characters doing stuff and use new names if they wanted, which got them much more interested -- at the end I got sentences like 'the girl cooking is ALT-Sensei' and 'the boy eating a lot is Luffy.'(Oct 27, 2011) Nick said: used today, very good! no problems from teachers(Oct 26, 2011) grammar machine said: "I wouldn`t say "The laughing boy is Hiroshi". It`s either, "The boy laughing is Hiroshi" or "The boy that`s laughing is Hiroshi" right?" I would say the third. But, by Oxford's Grammar guide, a single word goes before the noun, a phrase goes after. So, "The laughing boy is Hiroshi" is technically correct, even if it sounds strange. But, that has to do with the sentence structure. Try the grammar in another sentence; "I was sitting next to a crying baby the whole flight." Or think of other 'one-word adjective' examples, Smashing Pumpkins, The Running Man. Usually this grammar uses the phrase rule, which places it after the noun though.(Oct 25, 2011) Huffers said: Used this activity. The students found it to be very amusing, the JTE did not. Consequently, she complained getting me in trouble for using this worksheet stating it's a bad influence and encourages bad behavior. Make sure your JTE is cool before using this one, unlike mine.(Oct 13, 2011) anonymous said: Was just curious, and confirmed the letters from the picture to the answer sheet. I didn't see any answer for the letter 'S'. It'll be easy to change it to writing, since that action is not anywhere else on the answer sheet. Just wanted to mention it if you decide to download and use this cool worksheet.
