JAMAICA (Introductory Activity)

Introduce Jamaica to your students. Great activity for the start of a lesson. Let them learn about other cultures besides the ones they are already familiar with.

Use the Letsgo to Jamaica powerpoint to introduce students to some information about Jamaica. Information is translated to Japanese for easier understanding by the students. You can explain each slide as you go along.

For example, (14 Parishes, Jamaica is divided into 14 parishes. In Japan we have 47 prefectures. Prefectures is the same as Parishes)

Play the Jamaica Quiz next. Students will choose a number. Do not reveal the point until after you have asked the question and they have answered. Then reveal the point to show what they have gotten. (You may include a comparison explanation)

For example, Japan has several religions such as Buddhism and Christianity. In Jamaica the people in this religion grows their hair very long. Who are they? (You can change the sentence to make it shorter and easier to understand by the stdents)

      The addition of a typhoon style quiz is great and the presentation itself is sleek and simple. Perfect for keeping you as the focus and amplifying your overall lesson.
