This is a PowerPoint going over the terms "Must" and "Must Not" with several examples and photos.
It is paired with a double-sided worksheet for writing practice.
The images were all generated with AI, which is why they might seem a little off. But it adds an interesting layer of silliness to help keep the kids engaged.
I expected to introduce the grammar concept using this activity, but the JTE introduced it using the textbook the day before so this ended up being a review session for all 4 of my Junior High 2nd year classes and it worked very well for review.
PPT
Most of the PPT ends up being "Translate the English phrase to Japanese" and "Look at this image, using Must or Must Not (しなければなりません・してはいけない) what would you say in Japanese? Now, what is that in English?". I would call seat numbers to answer if there were few volunteers/people shouting out the answer.
"You must not drink toilet water" is my personal favourite example.
The last two images have no answers given in the ppt.
For the kid talking during a test, I had a volunteer come up with a sentence using either Must or Must Not and another volunteer come up with one using the opposite.
The last image of the shark in the classroom we had them discuss amongst themselves and come up with any example they wanted, then did a presentation time from groups we noticed had good examples or who volunteered to give theirs.
Worksheet
The worksheet contains no Japanese explanations, most of my JTE's use Japanese explanations in their worksheets so a completely English print was a new challenge. It seemed to be fine for most students.
The first section of the worksheet is just adding Must/Must Not to given sentences. I had random students write their answers on the board as they went through the worksheet and then went over the answers with the class confirming vocabulary in the sentences. "Seatbelt", "hallway", and "late" seemed to be sticking points for many students.
Then, if they hadn't already, they continued on to make their own example sentences. There was no time to present these or go over other parts of the worksheet in the class and we collected the worksheets at the end. Most students could finish the entire worksheet.
The matching section on the back has some more complicated vocab (raise hand, bring food, before, after) and it would have been nice to go over that with the class as well, but we prioritized writing their own example sentences over the reading comprehension.
Where were you 15 minutes ago lol. I just made one too. But I will incorporate this as well.
This is a really good powerpoint and worksheet, and you're right it keeps it interesting and drives the point. But as an artist myself, wow do I really have disdain for AI "art" that steals styles from existing artists. I imagine students who are in art club and spend hours daily drawing similar pictures feel the same. Usually if it's for creating realistic backgrounds, or more 3D, I let them get away with it, but these have distintinctive anime styles that won't go amiss. That being said, I'm not abashing you for using AI art, but I would refrain from telling your students that it is. As well as be aware of the implications it gives to creatives and possibly the ethical discussion around it if ever students ask about it.
