Title: Japanese Lesson Plan: Say Hi to Haibun Fun
Body: From http://edsitement.neh.gov/view_lesson_plan.asp?id=588 This cross-curricular lesson is designed to introduce students in language arts or social studies classes to elements of the Japanese writing style and the Japanese cultural concepts incorporated by the haibun. Students consider that each moment recorded in their journal can become elevated to a work of art because of the insights gained. By reading examples of classical Haibun written by Basho and contemporary Haibun by Jane Riechhold and others, students will observe these elements and concepts in the text. After studying elements of the Japanese writing style and cultural concepts, students will compose original haibun. View the lesson plan at http://edsitement.neh.gov/view_lesson_plan.asp?id=588 .

Title: “Go Fish” with Principal Parts in Latin
Body: A Latinteach user suggests the following activity: If there was ever a good time for "go fish," principal parts is it. TONS of principal parts turn up in chapters 20-22 of 'ecce Romani' and so I have each student make a set of flash cards, one principal part per card and play "go fish". A student must as a classmate, "habesne [principal part]." It is up to the discretion of the classmate being asked if it was pronounced correctly. If the student has the principal part and it was pronounced correctly, they must hand over the card. If the person being asked does not have the card, or if it is incorrectly pronounced, the student replies, "minime! i piscatum." Chochola, J. [Latinteach] principal parts "go fish".

Title: Idea for Practicing Relative Clauses in German
Body: A German college teacher gives the following idea for practicing relative clauses: I do a "Tabu" type of game. The students are given cards with items in English written on them that they have to purchase in a store in a German-speaking country, where the salesclerk (oddly) speaks no English at all. The items on the shopping list are of course items for which they don't know the German: safety pin, clothes hanger, tweezer; if you want extra laughs you can include diarrhea medicine and such. Of course you have to stress that they use phrases like "Es ist ein Ding, mit [dem] man...." I usually write on the board "Es ist ein Ding/Instrument/ eine Maschine", etc. This works well if you can separate the class into two teams. Babilon, S. Re: [AATG-L] relative clause exercise?.
