When Ninjas Attack: A Survival Guide for Defending Yourself Against the Silent Assassins

By Phoebe Bronstein and Keith Riegert

4. 15-20 minutes to read their packages, discuss, decide on key points and get ready to present:

 WRITE ON BOARD:

C.     How are you going to make your presentation interesting and memorable?
5. Present first 2/3rd of groups.

7. Teach Japanese vocabulary (if time) – Overhead handout of terms.

8. Show last 3rd of presentations.

9. Watch 20 minutes of “The Deadliest Warrior”

http://www.spike.com/full-episodes/9gja1a/deadliest-warrior-spartan-vs-ninja-season-1-ep-103

Show 11-23 and the last 10 minutes (the battle)

10. Students write 5-10 things they remember about ninjas from class. 

Bell Activity.  Are you as silent as a ninja. Bells that we can stick on a few kids and see if they can move around without ringing the bells.
