How Do I Use the Warm-up Survey Activity?

What is the Warm-up Survey ? This is a simple activity that allows students to reYlect on their personal habits, and help them quickly engage with the topic. How do I use this activity? 1. → OPTION: Read through the vocabulary list at the bottom of the page. Check that students understand the meaning of all items. Give examples where necessary. If you are permitted to use L1 Japanese in class, and if you would like to, you can expedite this step by having students access the online vocabulary list. 2. Have the students tick the relevant boxes in their textbooks to respond to Warm-up Survey questions 1 to 5 on the Yirst page of the unit. It might be a good idea

to have a different student read out each of the Yive questions, and make sure that all students understand the question. The teacher can go around the classroom and help students with comprehension. Remember to tell students that the answers they give to the Warm-up Survey … • have no effect on their grades • have no “right” or “wrong” answers- they are simply a way of getting students to think about some things which may seem very natural to them, but may be very different for other people. 3. → OPTION: You can then have students enter their responses into the corresponding Google Form. All of the responses will be merged into graphs and tables, which display in visual form the tendencies of the people in class. Once all students have sent their responses, you can project the Google Forms data on a screen and discuss tendencies with the group. This can be done at the end of the Warm-up Survey activity, before moving on to the Interview activity. However, you might prefer to wait until after the Interview activity is completed to discuss class tendencies with the group, so as not to spoil the fun that students have when they exchange information about their daily habits, during the Interview activity. Time required: 15~20 minutes

OPTION Є WRITING/SPEAKING DATA DESCRIPTION

If you have time, you might choose to have students think about and discuss the Warm-up Survey data collected from the entire class. The best timing for this might be after the Interview activity, to avoid spoiling the fun that students have when they exchange information about their daily habits, during the Interview activity.
