Lesson Report MEL-5 August 25, 2026

 Hello, Class! This is Towako from MEL School.

How are you?

Yesterday, you practiced understanding English in meaningful chunks, reproducing key sentences, and using new expressions in communication. In ELST, you also discussed why it can sometimes be difficult to appreciate the great past achievements. Sharing your ideas with a partner helped you connect the reading topic with your own thoughts.

In Bridge Work, you learned expressions with have got and have got to. The goal was not simply to understand their meanings, but to listen, reproduce, and use them naturally in conversation.

At the end of the lesson, you met with the Advanced Class to discuss the Time Capsule project. It was a good opportunity to share information and finish it together.

See you on Thursday!

<Lesson review>

ELST｜Reading A2.2 #4

You practiced the reading individually and wrote down the key sentences. After putting slashes between meaningful chunks, you read the sentences aloud and practiced repeating them with a partner.

You also recorded unfamiliar words in your My 練習帳 so that you can review and use them later.

Finally, you discussed this question with a partner:

Why is it hard to appreciate today?

This activity encouraged you to think beyond the text and express your own ideas in English.

Bridge Work 3｜Chapter 28 Unit 2

(p. 46) Vocabulary in Use  

#1. 感情に関することば

       #2. 環境問題に関することば 

You reviewed vocabulary related to emotions by reading the sentences aloud.

You then learned words and expressions related to environmental issues. You listened, repeated, and completed the sentences. Reading in chunks helps you understand the meaning without translating every word separately.

(p. 44) Grammar and Communication 3｜have got and have got to

With your textbooks closed, you listened to the sentences, repeated them, and typed what you heard in the chat box. You then opened the textbook to check the sentences and read them aloud.

In Exercise 3, you completed the questions individually, checked the sentences together, and practiced using the expressions through pair role-play.

• have got expresses possession or a situation.

• have got to expresses something that is necessary.

Through listening, reproduction, and role-play, you practiced using both expressions as part of real communication.

Lesson Review

You reflected on today’s learning and reviewed the expressions and skills you practiced.

Time Capsule Meeting with the Advanced Class

The Advanced Class Student joined us for a meeting about the Time Capsule project and shared the information needed for the next stage of the project.

Lesson Report Advanced August 24, 2026

Hello, Class! This is Towako from MEL School.

How was your summer break?

It was great to hear about your summer experiences through your two-minute presentations. You also practiced listening actively by taking notes and sharing which presentations interested or impressed you the most.

We also returned to our regular Advanced Class work—sharing your Psychology essays and practicing relative pronouns through listening, writing, and speaking.

It was a great start after the summer break!

See you next time!

Summer Break Presentation

You prepared a brief presentation about your summer break and used photos to help your classmates understand your experience.

While listening to each presentation, you took notes and thought about what interested you.

Afterward, you shared which presentation impressed you the most and explained why.

The goal was not only to speak, but also to listen with interest and respond to other people's ideas.

Q Skills for Success Reading and Writing -1

Unit 8 Psychology — What are you afraid of these days?

Unit Assignment

We reviewed the writing task and shared the essays you had posted on Google Classroom.

You wrote about a common fear using what you learned throughout the unit, including facts and supporting ideas.

Sharing your writing with the class gave you another opportunity to see how different people approach the same topic.

Bridge Work -3

Chapter 34 Unit 1 Ron has a bike he bought last year.

(p. 135) Vocabulary in Use

#1. 仕事や雇用に関することば

We studied vocabulary related to jobs and employment.

You practiced the pronunciation of the new words, completed the text individually, and checked how the words were used in context.

Relative Pronouns (pp. 130-131)

We continued practicing relative pronouns.

First, you listened to sentences, caught the meaning, reproduced them orally, and typed them in the chat room.

Then, you wrote sentences using relative pronouns and practiced repeating them with a partner.

The goal is to move beyond simply understanding the grammar rule and become able to produce these sentence patterns naturally and quickly.

Great work today! 🌟

Advanced August 8, 2026

 Hello, Class! This is Towako from MEL School.

How are you doing?

This week, you completed the Unit Assignment for our Psychology unit.

Writing is more than putting sentences together. It starts with organizing your ideas, supporting them with facts, and explaining your reasoning clearly.

I was also impressed by the discussion after class about the Time Capsule project. It was great to see everyone thinking seriously about how to make your videos more engaging for an audience.

See you next week!

Q Skills for Success Reading and Writing -1

Unit 8 Psychology

What are you afraid of these days?

Writing Skill: Contrasting Ideas with however

We reviewed how to connect two contrasting ideas using however.

This expression is useful for showing balance in your writing and presenting different perspectives clearly.

You practiced combining sentences to make your writing smoother and more logical.

---

Unit Assignment

Write one or more paragraphs about a common fear.

Before writing, you brainstormed common fears and discussed with a partner whether they were reasonable or unreasonable.

Then, you chose one topic, researched facts about it, and planned your paragraph before writing.

Finally, you checked your work using the Self-Assessment and completed your first draft.

This process—brainstorming, planning, researching, writing, and revising—is exactly how effective academic writing is developed.

---

Time Capsule Discussion

After class, we met with the MEL-5 students to discuss the editing of the Time Capsule videos.

You exchanged ideas about how to organize the videos, communicate your message clearly, and make them interesting for viewers.

Creating a good video requires the same skills as writing: organizing information, considering your audience, and communicating your ideas effectively.

Lesson Report MEL-3 August 8, 2026

Hello, Class! This is Towako from MEL School.

How are you doing?

This week, you continued practicing one of the most important MEL-3 skills: understanding English and explaining it in your own words.

You also imagined scenes before reading and practiced answering questions from memory. These activities help you build the habit of thinking in English instead of translating word by word.

Have a great summer vacation!

「読む」だけでなく、場面をイメージしながら内容を理解することを意識しましたね。
