Demonstrating Comprehension

There are many ways students can demonstrate comprehension in the Eigo Noto lessons. They don't have to respond in English to show they understand.
Some ways you can know students understand:

Students point to pictures in a textbook when you call out the English word or phrase
Students respond in Japanese
Students respond with body language or gestures
Play Karuta with cards in pictures or Japanese
