Using the American flag to trigger the English word and using the Japanese flag to trigger the Japanese word is really working in the classroom. To my surprise, after just 2 classes, students in both the English class and Japanese class were able to tell verbally tell me the parts of the plant. Now we are planting Brassica seeds and using the words tsuchi (soil), mizu (water), nikkou (sunlight), and kuuki (air) to help students learn what plants need and how to say them. Next week, we will be observing and documenting the growth of the Brassica seeds.
