Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Measurable Outcomes may be collected by survey, anecdotal responses, pre-test/post-test, observations; Describe proposed end user change in Behavior, Attitude, Skills, Knowledge, Condition and/or Status.

  • We will interview children leaving the sessions who should be able to speak several phrases in Japanese;
  • list several interesting facts about Japan;
  • write their name in Japanese (older kids);
  • and talk about several unique Japanese foods they tasted.
Measurable Outcome(s)
  • The Children loved these sessions.  They learned to count to five, say hello & hi, by and goodbye (more formal and casual) in Japanese.
  •  The Children enjoyed learning to use chopsticks which were then used in a cotton ball moving relay.  The original craft with chopsticks didn't turn out as planned.  We had a lot of younger children present and had to simplify the project. 
  • Kids also enjoyed sampling different foods and snacks from Japan - this was covered by our "Friends" group.
