It’s a Japanese temple.
We call it Kinkakuji.
Practice
I nice practice interview for the students to practice the grammar in an easy and simple environment.
The students play janken and the winner asks the loser, “Who/What is this?”
The loser reponds, “It/He/She is a Japanese… We call it/her/him…”
The loser signs the winners paper.
For a production activity; allow the students to come up with their own 3 items to tell the class. They can draw a quick picture if there is time (give them 1 minute per pic. This isn’t art class :p )
Sorry forgot to add the answers:
He/she/it is a Japanese ___. We call him/her/it __.
