買い物とレシピ / Grocery Shopping and Recipe - Japanese, Intermediate Low

Please Note: Many of the activities on the Pathways Project OER Repository were created by upper-division students at Boise State University and serve as a foundation that our community of practice can build upon and refine. While they are polished, we welcome and encourage collaboration from language instructors to help modify grammar, syntax, and content where needed. Kindly contact pathwaysproject@boisestate.edu with any suggestions and we will update the content in a timely manner.  — The Pathways Project

About the Boise State World Languages Resource Center (WLRC) Language Activity Repository

The activities provided by the Boise State World Languages Resource Center (WLRC) serve as foundational activities which can be adapted by any language and scaled up or down on the proficiency scale. Many of these activities offer an English Version that is “language-agnostic” to provide language instructors from around the country a platform to remix these instructional materials, infusing them with their target language and culture! The activities within the Pathways Project OER Repository seek to help students solidify their interpersonal speaking and interpretive skills through task-based situations or communicative activities. These activities should be facilitated in the target language for approximately 90% (or more), per the recommendation of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages.

How to use the WLRC Repository’s Activities:

1. Use the Activity as is:

Before you begin:

  • Most activities are 30 minutes in duration, unless otherwise specified.
  • Be sure to read through the activity description, and review the list of required materials. You will notice that the activity materials are also highlighted in yellow throughout the activity instructions.

If you have any suggestions about grammar, syntax, and content, please kindly contact pathwaysproject@boisestate.edu.

When you are ready to begin remixing the activity, in order to adapt it for the needs of your language classroom, simply click the blue “Remix This Resource” button at the top of your screen. This will then take you to a screen with a NEW, editable version of this activity. The text provided in purple is a suggestion of what you might say to your students in the target language, and may be altered for different levels and age groups. All activities have “NCSSFL-ACTFL Can-Do” statements, a warm-up, a main activity, and a wrap-up.

Many of the activities include printable cards and other instructional materials such as Google Slideshows. If you would like to make changes to these materials for your language, follow the instructions below:

NCSSFL-ACTFL Can-Do Statements:

  • I can put ingredients together to create a recipe
  • I can understand which ingredients are needed to create a recipe
  • I can explain instructions on a recipe

Materials Needed:

Warm-up

1. Display the "Google Slides" and begin by introducing the Can-Dos for today’s activity.

"こんにちは。今日の Can-Do Statementsは..."

2. Hand out a "Recipe" to each student. Put all the "Ingredients" on the table or floor (except for the dishes such as fried rice, cake, hamburger, etc.). Each student will have to go "shopping" for the ingredients listed on their "Recipe" card. Make sure to hold on to the dishes until the Main Activity.

“皆さんにはこれから買い物をしてもらいます。レシピカードに書いてある材料を探してください。

I will ask you to shop now. Look for the ingredients on the recipe card. 

Main Activity

1. Based on the ingredients the students have, they will try to guess what food they are making. Once they make a few guesses, put the cards with the dishes (fried rice, cake, etc) on the table. Have them pick which food they think the recipe is for and write it down on their recipe card. Then, the students will explain how to make the dish.

“買い物が終わったら、持っている材料で何を作るか予想して(考えて)みてください。今度はカードの中から自分のレシピの料理を探してください。選んだら料理の名前をレシピカードに書いて、その料理の作り方を説明してください。

“When you're done shopping, try to think (think) what to make with the ingredients you have. Now look for a recipe for your recipe on the card. Write and explain how to make that dish. ”

2. Use this model for an example:
        1. Dish: Pizza
            1. 私の料理はペパロニピザです。生地にトマトソースを塗って、チーズとペパロニを乗せたらオーブンで焼きます。
