Skim reading assignment sheet A

This homework assignment is designed to help you improve two main language skills: 1. Skim Reading: speed reading news articles for gist (the main idea) and for key information. 2. Identifying, Processing, and Confirming Key Wh Information for clearer comprehension of the most important details
Skim reading
Follow the instructions below. Step 1: Timing yourself, in three minutes or less, skim the news article, highlighting the gist information. Then make brief, clear notes on your Homework Notes A sheet. Example Gist Notes: rice farmers aliens sited Mt. Fuji Step 2: Now, using your gist notes, create a brief sentence in your mind and, when you are satisfied, write it on your Homework Expansion B sheet.
Suggestions for completing task:
Focus on the headline any bold text introductory and concluding paragraphs. Pay close attention to key words such as nouns and main verbs. Dont try to read every word. You can skip particles (a/an & the), auxiliary verbs (is/was etc.), and even prepositions (in, on, at etc.) in order to speed up your reading and help you to focus only on understanding the gist.
Identifying and processing key Wh information

Follow the instructions below. Step 1: In five minutes or less skim read the article again, briefly (dont write sentences) noting down the key words you think are important information on your Homework Notes A sheet. Example: Where-slopes of Mt. Fuji Continue until you have clearly identified the key Wh information from the news article. Step 2: Focus on your key Wh information notes and, in your mind only, expand that key information into full Wh questions, correcting your grammar as you go. Then, once again, in your mind, answer your questions. Do not write anything at this stage. Step 3: When you are satisfied with your key Wh questions and answers, write them down on your Homework Expansion B sheet. Check your work is brief and clear.
Feedback:
Having completed the homework stage of this assignment, note down at the bottom of your worksheet whether or not you found the tasks useful and why. Finally, read the news article at your own pace but dont change your completed assignment. JALT Applied Materials: Classroom Resources Photocopy-Safe Worksheet

Scene 4
Narrator: The Treasure Hunters run into two tengu, creatures in Japan with magical powers and extremely long noses. The only way that our Treasure Hunters can get past them is by surviving a game of Simon Says. Tengu: Simon Says suwatte kudasai. (Simon Says sit down.) (Everyone sits down.) Simon Says tatte kudasai. (Simon Says stand up.) (Everyone stands up.) Suwatte kudasai. (Treasure Hunters 7 & 8 both sit down. The tengu make them disappear through trap doors in the floor. They can be heard yelling as they fall. Treasure Hunters 7 & 8 roll up into balls on the floor to disappear.) Tengu: Simon Says te o agete kudasai. (Simon Says raise your hand.) (Everyone raises hand except Treasure Hunters 5 & 6, who sit down. They also disappear into the floor.) Tengu: Simon Says shizuka ni shite kudasai. Simon Says suwatte kudasai. Simon Says tatte kudasai. (Simon Says be quiet. Simon Says sit down. Simon Says stand up.) (The Treasure Hunters 1, 2, 3, & 4 and the Leader do everything correctly.

Scene 6
Scene 5
Narrator: This is the final battle, when the Treasure Hunters find the four Deadly Ninja guarding the door to the treasure room. (The Treasure Hunters and their leader stand at stage right, and the Ninja stand at stage left. They all grit their teeth at each other and get ready to fight with their weapons. Then, suddenly, the Leader walks out of the crowd of Treasure Hunters, stares into the eyes of the Ninja, and the Ninja start to sing Atama Kata Hiza Ashi (Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes). The Treasure Hunters and their leader start to do the gestures to the song, faster and faster, as the Ninjas sing faster and faster.) (Finally, the Ninjas give up after the fourth time they sing the song. The Leader yells Slow down! and the Treasure Hunters and the Leader sing the song very slowly, stopping just before the end and leaving the ninja frozen, touching their knees.) (The Treasure Hunters exit stage left and enter stage left.)
Narrator: Our heroes walk into the treasure room and find no treasure! Instead, a Princess is sitting there, and they introduce themselves to her and let her choose one of them to marry. (As the narrator is explaining this, the Treasure Hunters and the Leader walk in the room, see the Princess and then line up to introduce themselves to her.) Leader: Hajimemashite. Watashi wa ______ desu. (Nice to meet you. My name is _______.) (Each person introduces him/herself. The Princess gives a thumb up if she likes them and says Hai, and if she doesnt, she gives them a thumb down and says Iie. She gives a thumb up to Treasure Hunters 1 and 6.) Narrator: Our beautiful Princess has chosen two Treasure Hunters that she likes, but she must now make the final decision. Whoever can answer her questions correctly will be the one. Princess: Kyo wa nan yoobi desu ka? (What day is today?) Treasure Hunter 1: Nichi yoobi desu. (Today is Sunday.) Princess: Iie. (No.) (She turns her thumb down at Treasure Hunters 1.) Kyo wa nan yoobi desu ka? Treasure Hunter 6: Moku yoobi desu. (Today is Thursday.) Princess: Hai! (Yes!) (She looks dreamily into the eyes of Treasure Hunters 6.) Kisetsu wa nan desu ka? (What is the season?) Treasure Hunter 6: Fuyu desu. (It is winter.) Ugly Princess: Hai! (Yes!) (The run towards each other, embrace.) Narrator: They fall in love, and live happily ever after.

It is probable that Japans higher divorce rate stems from differences in attitudes towards
Information sheet for teacher
Here are just a few ideas that can be used to stimulate and guide discussion. 1a. Japan is very mountainous, so there is less room for agriculture. Conversely, England is relatively flat (there are, however, quite high mountains in Scotland and Wales). 1b. There was a lot of migration from rural areas to urban areas after WWII in Japan (4 million farmers became urban workers annually in the late 1960s), so rural areas have become depopulated. In the UK, people are actually moving back to the country from the city, some to start their own farms. 2a. There is a custom in Japan that the eldest child must take care of aged parents. 2b. Elderly people in the UK are more independent and live by themselves in their own house or sheltered housing. (Note that because of rising house prices in the UK, there is a new resurgence of people living in extended families). 3a. Marriages in Japan are more the tying of a knot between two families rather than individuals, so there is greater pressure keeping unhappy marriages together. 3b. The legal system in the UK tends to favour women over men in a divorce settlements. 4a. The legacy of the British Empire. Most of the immigrants who came to the UK in the 1950 and 1960s were from former (or soon to become independent) colonies. 4b. The accession in May 2004 of eight former Soviet-block countries to the EU has increased the number of immigrants from Eastern Europe. 4c. There are relatively relaxed immigration laws in the UK. The UK took in 92,000 asylum seekers in 2002, while only 14 were accepted by Japan in the same year.
4d. There are generous social benefits for immigrants in the UK. 4e. A British attitude of tolerance toward different cultures. 4f. The UK is a more attractive destination because English, a global language, is spoken. 5a. The UK has a worse diet than Japan. (Scotland is particularly bad out of the nations in the UK: it has the highest rate or heart disease and the lowest consumption of fresh fruit and vegetables in Europe). 6a. Attitudes towards suicide may differ. Harakiri and kamakaze may still have romantic connotations in Japan. 6b. The economy in the UK is in better condition than Japans. Unemployment and bankrupcies cause people to become depressed and even suicidal. 6c. Counselling services are more extensive in the UK and British people may feel less inhibited to talk about their problems. 7. See overview section 8a. Could British teenagers be more promiscuous than their Japanese peers? 8b. Both countries have pretty poor sex education, but the UK is probably more progressive. (It is interesting to note that Holland, a very liberal country with quite explicit sex education classes, has the lowest rate of teenage births in Europe). 8c. There is not as much stigma attached to being a single mother in the UK. 8d. Japan has a high abortion rate, a significant proportion carried out on young women. The pill is not popular in Japan and condom use is actually declining. 9a. Is Japan more influenced by American culture? 9b. There may be more competitors to McDonalds in the UK, so the overall number of fast-food restaurants could be more than in Japan. 9c. According to the National Diet and Nutrition Survey in 2001, 5% of the UK population is vegetarian. 10a. Many of the large parks in London have a long history, originally being recreation areas for royalty. 10b. The UK has strict conservation planning laws that make it more difficult to build on parkland. The construction industry in Japan is very powerful (in fiscal 2003, construction investment accounted for 10.7 of Japans GDP and it employed 10% of the nations total work force) meaning that green space may be more vulnerable to development in Japan. 10c. Tokyos higher population density (5517 per square kilometer compared to 4573 in London) dictates that there is less space for parks (or is it the other way round?).

The rubber chicken and the fowl call

Read this story:
The accused, Kai Tamaki, lives in Edmonton, Alberta. He is a 21-year-old college student. On January 10th, Kai went to a hockey game at Rexall Place, a hockey arena in Edmonton. Edmontons hockey team is the Oilers. Kai took his seat high up in the stands with the other hockey fans. The complainant, Hanna Sato, was also at the game. The Oilers were playing against their archrival, the Calgary Flames. Oiler fans do not like the Flames. Late in the third period of the game, the score was tied at one. Finally, with one minute to go, Ryan Smyth, an Oiler star player, shot the puck and it went off one of his teammates skates and into the Flames net. The Oilers and their fans went wild. However, the referee waved off the goal because it was kicked in. In hockey, if the puck bounces off a skate, the goal can count, but you cannot score a goal by deliberately kicking the puck into the net. The crowd at the game thought that the referee was wrong and that the goal was good. People threw things toward the ice to show their anger. Kai threw a rubber chicken toward the ice. Unfortunately, Kais rubber chicken did not land on the ice. Hanna Sato, the complainant, had been standing near some steps when she fell and broke her leg. One of the issues at the trial is whether the rubber chicken thrown by Kai hit Hanna on the head, causing her to fall and break her leg. After Hanna got hurt, a security guard said, Who threw that chicken? Kai panicked and started to run away. The security guard caught Kai and called the police. Kai was taken to the police station and charged with assault for hurting Hanna Sato with the rubber chicken.
Answer these questions:

a. Who is the accused? b. Who is the complainant? c. Where did the incident take place? d. What teams were playing? e. Why didnt the goal count? f. Why was the crowd unhappy? g. What did Kai throw? h. What happened to Hanna? i. What happened to Kai?

Letting the cat out of the bag

Origin
A Greek voting system whereby members dropped a bean into a jar. A white bean showed approval; black disapproval. Only officials knew how many black beans but occasionally someone would spill the beans for all to see. A 15th century custom to mark feast days (celebration days) on the calendar in red. Up is usually associated with good and cloud nine is probably as high as someones spirits could go. Comes from a Malayan word amoq, describing tribesmen who perhaps using opium worked themselves into frenzies. Alludes to cowboys having a good time shooting up a town and threatening to spill blood (kill people) if anyone stopped them. The original meaning was to fall to the earth in battle. Slaughtered pigs were suspended from a frame called a bucket. Any muscular twitch after death caused the pig to kick against it. Feeling so high with excitement (e.g., delight at victory) one imagines jumping over the moon. Norse mythology telling of a fierce warrior who, throwing down weapons and armor, went berserk and plunged into battle wearing only a bearskin coat. Instructions: Match each idiom with the correct origin and mental image by drawing lines between them. Some mental images will match more than one idiom.
Idiom
a red letter day go berserk paint the town red over the moon spill the beans kick the bucket run amuck on cloud nine bite the dust
Mental image

to die
