-活動 Activity
老師準備三~四把傘 Teacher prepared 3 to 4 umbrellas.

*老師說: 下雨了, 兩個人撐一把傘。 Teacher says,"It's raining, 2 people in an umbrella."
~~Students run to find and stand under an umbrella, and get the correct number of people based on what Teacher said~~~~
*在雨傘下面的學生說: 下雨了, 我們兩個人撐一把傘。 Ss who are under the same umbrella say together,"It's raining, we two have an umbrella".
*沒有找到傘的學生一起說,下雨了,我們沒有傘, 我們是落湯雞! Ss who can't find an umbrella to get a group, they say together,"It's raining, we don't have an umbrella. We are all wet".

~~This could run 3 times and Teacher changes the number of students when s/he gives an order to the class. Based on the class size, it's fun!~~~


-文化小常識 Cultural Capsule
我們不送傘給朋友 因為 傘和散是諧音(homonyms or homonymic; representing sound of characters)

*在中華的文化裡, 我們不送傘給朋友,因為"傘"的發音跟"散"是一樣,而"散"有分開/分別的意思,不太吉利。
所以,可以借傘給朋友 不要送傘。
In Chinese culture, people don’t give an umbrella to their friends because the pronunciation of(傘)umbrella is the same as散,which also means separate. If people give an umbrella to a friend, it is unlucky since they give a forever goodbye (separation) to a friend. So people can lend an umbrella or borrow it instead of saying, I will give送 you an umbrella.

~~~A handout is given, Ss can see how an umbrella transforms its character. And includes the bilingual text above~~~
