sushi and somali

I've spent the last two weeks teaching my

Somali students English through Japanese culture.

We've done many fun activities with Japanese language,
music, clothes, festivals etc... but today was a lesson about food.
After teaching them how to use chopsticks, the students tried various Japanese foods and enjoyed (or not) the new tastes and smells! I wasn't sure how the students would react to this style of instruction, but I think it's gone pretty well. They are so curious to learn about a new culture (and they forget that they are actually learning English too!)

I love this one because it shows they WERE paying attention to the many photos around the room ---which show the notorious peace sign being used in every picture!
