TO THE LEADER In leading the group, you have the following jobs: 1. Before you actually begin the course, be sure that all members of the group read the Introduction to this Manual. See to it that the Guide (if you have one) is supplied with a copy of the Guide's Manual, and that he reads the Introduction in it. 2. Before each meeting of the group, look over all the material that you are going to cover in that meeting, and be sure you know exactly in what order everything is to be done. If possible, tell the Guide too, so that he can look over the material which he is to present. If you have no Guide, be sure that the phonograph 1. Index finger raised. . . . 2. Hand raised, palm outward.. and the records are ready and in working condition. 3. During the meeting, keep order, and keep things moving. Whenever you have to call on different members of the group to recite, change the order in which you call on them, so that no one can guess in advance what he will be asked to do. Be sure that every member of the Group speaks loudly and clearly at all times. Your Guide may not know any English. In that case, you will have to communicate with him by hand signals. These are explained to him in Japanese in the Guide's Manual. They will enable you to tell him when to begin reading, when to speak slower, faster, or louder, and when to repeat. Here they are: 3. Palm down, hand moved slightly from side to side. 4. Palm up, hand moved quickly up and down. 5. Hand touching your ear. 6. Beckoning with index finger.. BEGIN STOP .SLOWER .FASTER .LOUDER REPEAT Remember that you are learning the language too. Do everything the other students are asked to do. If you fall behind, you can no longer function efficiently as Leader. viii |
