Students at an elementary school in Indiana learn about Japanese school
lunches, bentoo and kyuushoku. The teacher provides magazines, books,
and access to software and/or the internet for students to research bentoo
and kyuushoku. A guest native Japanese speaker comes in to speak about
typical lunches. Students compare the Japanese school lunch with their
own and find out about their nutritional values. They create models of
Japanese school lunches out of paper, clay, styrofoam, etc. and present
them to the class using “-desu” expressions. They learn that, among
many choices, onigiri is very popular. Then they come to an agreement
on one or two typical Japanese lunch menus and try to make them.
They learn that it is not good manners to leave anything on the plate.
They reinforce the usage of ritual expressions such as “Itadakimasu” and
“Gochisoosama.” They also learn songs like “Onaka no heru uta” and
“Bentoo.”
