When I taught this unit to my Beginner Japanese 11 classes, they struggled with remembering to use the modifier “こと” if they were using a verb instead of a noun. Integrating it with the hobby vocabulary they were learning was a way to address this.
Feedback for Lily:
- Intro by using hobbies- ask students about theirs (good)
- Confused meanings of like and able to (understandable given the subject description/lack of time)
- Has the structure down (ie placement of nominalized verbs and verbs)
- Had students practice using English hobbies (good considering time constraint – any many are similar anyway)
