Worksheets and other materials:
Worksheet #2

Distribute Worksheet #2 to each student.

Students note in Japanese what they observe about Yu’s eating habits (what she eats for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, etc.) in column 1 in the table of Task #1, Worksheet #2. If there are two different menus for the same meal category, split them into Day 1 and Day 2.


ゆうさんは、〔あさごはん/ひるごはん/ばんごはん〕に 何をたべますか。1のコラムに日本語で書いてください。

Students think about their own eating habits, and note in Japanese examples of what they typically eat for each meal in column 2.


あなたの食生活はどうですか。〔あさごはん/ひるごはん/ばんごはん〕に よく何をたべますか。2のコラムに日本語で書いてください。

Students use the table in Task #1 to complete Task #2.


あなたの食生活にあって、ゆうの食生活にないものは、何ですか。
あなたの食生活にもゆうの食生活にもあるものは、何ですか。
あなたの食生活になくて、ゆうの食生活にあるものは、何ですか。
あなたの食生活にもゆうの食生活にもないものは、何ですか。

As Task #3, students think about distinctive characteristics of their own and Yu’s eating habits, and factors that may affect those characteristics.


ゆうの食生活とあなたの食生活と似ていることは何ですか。
違うことはなんですか。

(1) Task #3 is based on the assumption that not just the names of foods being compared, but eating habits in general (such as healthy eating habits, watching one’s calorie intake, etc.), will be discussed.

(2) Encourage the students to think about the diversity among themselves while they talk about Yu’s eating habits as a way of reminding them that Yu may not be representative of all Japanese.
