Tamotsu Sensei will try a two week lesson at a JHS for third year students. The lesson flow will be task-presentation-practice-task style. The content will be either Program 2 or 3 of Sunshine. Tamotsu Sensei will need to think of the following: 1) The objectives for this lesson style; 2) The types of tasks he will do to accomplish these objectives; 3) Pre and post tests he will conduct to evaluate the extent to which students were accomplishing these objectives.
