The Spider

**"The Spider"** (下 (ゲ) 蛛 (チュ) , *Gechu*) is the fifty-fifth chapter of the *Fukigen na Mononokean* manga series, written and illustrated by Kiri Wazawa.

## Overview

Ashiya has just been possessed by Sasa, and then ordered to kill Abeno. Before Ashiya could release Sasa, he faces danger but is helped by his father in a rather odd way.

## Plot

Ashiya has been possessed by the demon named Sasa, who was trapped in the shrine. Before Ashiya could open the door of the shrine to release the yokai, Abeno tries to remove the spider with his influence but his hand was immediately seized by Ashiya. Abeno notes that the demon takes control of the mind. Even Fuzzy tries to remove the spider but the possessed Ashiya throws him away. During the struggle, Abeno is knocked down by Bonta. Sasa commands Ashiya to kill Abeno. At first, Ashiya resists and comes to his senses for a moment. Abeno notes that his will is strong since he was able to resist a strong demon. However, Ashiya begins to choke Abeno. Before losing consciousness, Abeno slaps Ashiya telling him to wake up. Ashiya finally regains his consciousness for him to wake with his hands on the neck of an unconscious Abeno. Ashiya, thinking he has killed Abeno, begins to lament just as Sakae comes to comfort him. Ashiya mistakes Sakae for Abeno. Sakae tells him that at this rate he would be killed too. Then Sakae possesses him and uses Ashiya's influence to kill the demon. Abeno watches the scene of Sakae's memory, as it appears to be Sakae who had trapped Sasa in the shrine. Abeno speaks to him before he falls asleep and thanks him for rescuing Ashiya. Abeno apologizes to an unconscious Ashiya for making him kill a demon.

Until the week before I started high school... that's what I believed." It can be assumed that he recently got the ability to see yōkai when he first met Fuzzy.

The Fairest of Them All (album)

The Fairest of Them All is the fifth solo studio album by Dolly Parton, released in February 1970 by RCA Records.

Included is "Down from Dover," a song about the misfortune of a pregnant unwed girl, who waits in vain for the father while being shunned by her parents. The song was controversial for the times and Parton has stated in recent interviews that mentor (and uncredited producer) Porter Wagoner told her that she'd never get played on the radio with story songs like that. The song remains a fan favorite to this day and was re-recorded by Parton for Little Sparrow with an additional verse that was cut from the original. In 2009, Marianne Faithfull recorded the song for her covers album, Easy Come, Easy Go.

Two other story songs, "Robert" and "Daddy Come and Get Me" are distinctive for their themes. The former tells the story of a boy infatuated with a girl, not knowing that they are brother and sister. The story is a true story based on Parton's life. (Her father had several children with other women.) The latter is a haunting tale, (co-written with Dorothy Jo Hope, Parton's aunt) about a woman begging her father to release her from the mental institution that her cheating husband placed her in.

In a CMT interview with Patty Loveless, Parton joked that it was about the funniest cover she had ever made, with the largest collar she could find. She said was trying to look like a fairy tale character. The cover photo was by Bill Goodman, a photographer for The Nashville Banner.

The liner notes for the album are written by longtime Parton assistant, friend, and confidante Judy Ogle.

This album was released on CD for the first time on August 17, 2010, along with 1972's My Favorite Songwriter: Porter Wagoner.

When the game starts and a word is called out, each group has some time (usually around 10 seconds) to practice together the spelling of the word called and make sure every student in the group knows the spelling. Then, a number is called and the student with that number from each group must go to the board and write the word. The objective of this game is in-group collaboration. Each group must consolidate the spelling of the word called so that any student in the group who has to write it will know the correct spelling.

**Example**:

* Two groups of three students are formed. Each player in each group is given a number one to three. The word 'Elephant' is called. Both groups discuss with their members the spelling of the word. Once the preparation time is over, the teacher calls number '2'. The number 2 players in each group must go to the board and write 'Elephant.' The game continues with another word and a different random number called from one to three.

When A Heart Beats

## Songs from Radio Musicola

**When a Heart Beats** is a single by Nik Kershaw from the album Radio Musicola (LP excluded).

## Meaning

Nik Kershaw said in 1985:

When a Heart Beats is all about enjoying everyday life. You’ve got the future and you’ve got the past and there’s a point in between where the two meet… It’s so small that some people argue whether it actually exists. When a Heart Beats is about trying to catch that moment and travel with it instead of waving it goodbye.

— **Nik Kershaw**

Back-and-Forth

**Materials:**

* A list of appropriate words.
* Slips of paper with these words.

**Instructions:**

* Separate students into pairs. One pair starts. One player in the pair holds a slip of paper with a word to his forehead. He or she can't know what word is on the slip. The other player in the pair must then try to make the first player guess by saying something about that word, for instance, its word category. For example, if the first player has the word "beautiful," the second player would say "adjective," and the first player says an adjective. If you want, the rule can be that the first player has to say his exact adjective. In that case, they need more rounds of back-and-forth to get to the precise adjective the player has. For example: P2: "adjective," P1: "nice," P2: "face," P1: "beautiful." Once the back-and-forth is complete, the same pair switches places and attempts another word from the slips. Give them one minute and see how many they can get right. Then, another pair comes up and attempts to get more words right in the same time. This is good practice for word categories and other types of vocabulary.
Buzzword

**Materials:**

* List of prepared sentences (in case of Team Competition)(See below)

**Instructions:**

* *Team Competition*: Separate players into teams. Each round you will read one or more sentences in which a keyword is replaced by the word "buzz" or a variation (such as 'buzzed,' 'buzzer,' 'buzzify'). Students have to then identify what the word "buzz" is replacing in that sentence. You could give just one long sentence (i.e. "My parents are \*buzzing\* me to travel with them - force/forcing) or a set of three small ones (i.e., "I \*buzz\* an elephant in my notebook," "The game ended in a \*buzz\*," and "Leonardo DaVinci made many famous \*buzzings\*"). The team which recognizes the buzz word first gets the point.
* *Scene*: Two students (or more) are give a word they must replace with \*buzz\* or its variations when they roleplay a scene together. Students who are sitting out must then try to guess what that word is. For instance, you can have students roleplay a scene of a police officer pulling over a driver and the buzzword could be "license" or "seatbelt."

**"The Tiger"** (虎 (コ) 入 (イ) , *Koi*) is the fifth episode of the anime Fukigen na Mononokean Tsuzuki and the eighteenth overall of the series.

## Overview

Fuzzy, who was accused of being a thief, was taken to White Sand Prison, the residence of Shihō, one of the top three of the Underworld, alongside Rippō and Gyōsei. Ashiya, who came with Abeno to the Underworld to defend Fuzzy's innocence, was surprised by an unexpected confrontation with Shihō's true identity.

On the other hand, Abeno was aware of the fact that another yōkai was involved in this case. It is another one of the top three, Gyōsei. The human-hating Gyōsei has a strong displeasure in the thought of a human servant of the Mononokean that is connected to the Underworld. Thus, through Gyōsei's schemes, Ashiya and Gyōsei have a confrontation.

Never Have I Ever

**Materials**:

* Questions prepared beforehand (optional) and/or Paddles with "I Have Never" / "I Have" (optional)

**Instructions**:

* *Classic Play*: All player raise a number of fingers on their hand (usually between 3 and 10 depending on how long you want the game to last). One player at a time will say something he or she has never done in her life. Every player who has done it must then lower one of the fingers they have up. The next player then says something he or she has never done and the game continues until a player reaches zero fingers up. (Alternatively, the group can play until everybody has lowered all fingers)

* *Talk Show Style*: One host will make the 'Never Have I ever' statements, which are usually prepared beforehand. Players will then react by showing cards or turning a paddle to read either "I Have" or "I Have Never" depending on their experience.

**Sample Play:**
W-A-R!

**Materials**:

* A deck of cards.
* A list of dares or pranks (optional)
* A list of vocabulary to be practiced (optional)

**Instructions**:

* *In Pairs*: Grab two students to start and hand each of them a stack (at least 12 cards) from the deck. Each student then flips one card face down in front of their stack and says 'W.' They then flip another card face down in front of their stacks and say 'A.' This is repeated once more, while both of them say 'R.' Finally, the fourth card is flipped face up in front of them as they both say 'War!' The 'value' of both cards is compared and the player with the lowest card has to fulfill a dare of some kind. It could be a prank, if this is being played just for fun, or it the winning student can challenge the losing student to create a sentence with some of the recently-learned vocabulary or grammar (in this case it is helpful to have a list of the recently-learned subjects). Once a student loses, replace them with one of the students who was sitting out.
* *With a large group*: In this particular variation, everyone gathers around a table and receives a stack of cards. Everybody does the same motions (flip three cards face down while spelling 'w-a-r' and then flip the fourth card face up while shouting 'war!') but in this scenario, everyone's cards are compared and the lowest card 'loses' the round, while the highest card 'wins.'
Zero

**"Zero"** (零 (レイ) 度 (ド) , *Reido*) is the seventy-second chapter of the *Fukigen na Mononokean* manga series, written and illustrated by Kiri Wazawa.

Word Sneak

**Material**:

* You'll need two to five words in slips of paper prepared per student participating. For a just-for-fun game use random, funny words. If reviewing vocabulary, use previously-learned words.

**Instructions**:

* Before you begin, tell players their words are secret and that they'll need to use those words in conversation as naturally as possible. The objective is to use your words without other players knowing this is your 'word sneak' word, so it has to be included in context. Each player then randomly draws words (two to five, depending on how long you want it to take). They are supposed to have a natural conversation, each trying to use their secret words without seeming strange or random. Set a time limit. The game ends once time is up or if all players have used all their words. After the game ends, players can try to guess each other's words. The player who could use more words without being found out wins.

Letter Relay (Run and Write variation)

**Materials**:

* List of target vocabulary.

**Instructions**:

* Just like Run and Write, each student from each team must run to the board when a word is called out, except that instead of writing the entire word or phrase, they write only one letter and hand the marker off to the second student who then writes the second letter and so on, one letter at a time. You can increase the difficulty or length of the game by changing it to syllables or entire words in a sentence, instead of only letters.
What are you doing?

**Materials**:

* N/A

**Instructions**:

* Have two volunteers start. Player A asks player B: "What are you doing?" Player B has to respond with an action, usually in the continuous, such as "I am brushing my teeth." Player A then (NOT the player who responded) mimes the action that player B said. The player who asks the question is the player who mimes the answer. As player A mimes brushing his teeth (for example), player B asks him/her "What are you doing?" Player B then mimes the answer that player A gives. The game continues back and forth until one person makes a mistake, in which case, that person is out and gets replaced by one of the players who was just watching. In this game, mistakes are: answering with the action you are performing, repeating an action someone has said previously, miming in a way that it's impossible to understand your action, or taking too long to think of something.

**Sample Play**:
Model United Nations

**Materials**:

* A list of countries (or alternatively, small flags to represent the countries you want to use)
* Debating topics of international relevance.

**Instructions**:

* Students are each given a country they must represent in a mock United Nations conference. The table must then discuss a topic of global importance, such as the state of the environment, a war negotiation, international treaties, etc. It's also possible to give each country a goal in the negotiation, such as "incite war," "promote peace," "make financial deals," or such. Additionally, you can give different countries "resources" they can spend, trade, lose or bargain with. The purpose of this activity is to practice speaking but also to practice a back-and-forth interaction with an objective.

The Removal (episode)

## The Removal

**"The Removal"** (脱 (ヌ) 羅 (ラ) , *Nura*) is the eighth episode of the anime Fukigen na Mononokean Tsuzuki and the twenty-first overall of the series.

## Overview

"I want to be a human for a day, I want to join dance together at the Bon Festival"

Ashiya and Zenko bring a wishful yōkai to Abeno to help disguise her as a human so she can join and enjoy the Bon Festival. As soon as he fulfills Keshi's wishes and sends her to the Underworld, Abeno becomes exhausted and collapses.

In truth, Abeno has just finished a work he received from the Executive which he kept from Ashiya. Ashiya, who thinks Abeno did this for his sake, feels responsible and becomes concerned for Abeno.

## Characters in Order of Appearance

* Keshi
* Haruitsuki Abeno
* Hanae Ashiya
* Zenko Fujiwara
* Fuzzy
* Tatsuma Fujiwara
* **Neighborhood Association President**
* **Oisuke**
* Gyōsei (mentioned, flashback)
* Shihō (flashback)
* Mononokean
* Rippō (flashback)
* Yahiko (flashback)

## Anime and Manga Differences

* The anime skipped the first pages of Chapter 44 where Hanae discovered that Haruitsuki came from a job from the Executive before exorcising Keshi. It is unclear in the anime whether Hanae was able to find out about this or not.
* Another skipped part in the anime was when Hanae gets the chance to split the watermelon but fails to do so as he gets tired. It was skipped to Haruitsuki’s turn of splitting the watermelon.
Blank-bubble Cartoon

**Materials**:

* Comic strips with the speech bubbles left blank, as the picture on the right.

**Instructions**:

* Give each student a comic strip (they can all have a copy of the same comic strip or each student can get a different one) with the speech or thought bubbles left blank. Students then write the dialog using their imagination to try and make a cohesive story.
Follow the Leader

**Materials**:

* N/A

**Instructions**:

* Students sit in a circle and one student is selected to wait outside the classroom. While that player waits outside, the other students decide on one of them to be the 'leader.' The leader makes a repetitive motion, such as clapping hands, stomping feet, snapping fingers, etc. that every student in the circle must then repeat in the same rhythm. Whenever the leader decides to change the motion he or she is doing, all other must follow and start repeating the same motion. Once everyone is ready, the student who was outside comes back into the classroom and must stand in the middle of the circle. This student must try to guess who is the leader by looking around the circle and noticing who is the first person to change motion. Usually, the guessing player has three chances, after that, he or she is "out." If the leader is guessed correctly, the guessing student sits in the circle and the leader becomes the new guessing student and waits outside the classroom for the next leader to be decided.
First and Last

**Materials**:

* A List of words (or slips of paper to be drawn) that commonly begin and a list of words that commonly end a sentence.

**Instructions**:

* Separate students into small groups so this can be done as a competition. Each round, give everyone two words. Tell them the first word is supposed to be used by each group to begin a sentence and the second word is supposed to be used to finish the sentence. Each group then creates the rest of the sentence, connecting the two words. At the end of the round each group shares their sentence and the teacher will judge the best, or most accurate one.
Run and Write

**Materials**:

* A list of target vocabulary to practice.

**Instructions**:

* Separate students into teams (usually two teams, each with one half of the class). Each team makes a line. The first student in each line is the starting player. The starting players are closest to the board (though not too close, they still have to run to the board) and they each start with a board marker, preferably of different colors to symbolize each team. The teacher calls out a random word from the list and the starting players have to run to the board and write it. As soon as they're done (or even before) the teacher calls out another word. The starting players run back to the second person in line and give them the marker so they can run to the board and write the next word. This continues until all the words are used. At that point, the teacher checks if the words are spelled correctly and each group gets a point for each word written correctly. The group with the highest score wins.

**Variations**:

* Letter Relay

* Random Sample
Lawyer Up

**Materials**:

* None

**Instructions**:

* Students are divided into pairs. In each pair, one student is the accused and the other is his or her lawyer. Give each pair a situation, usually some kind of crime or strange event that the accused student might be guilty of. For example, they may be given a prompt such as "the police found you with a stolen book in your bag," or "you were dressed as Santa Claus and offering money to strangers." That student will then attempt to explain themselves using very informal language. Their "lawyer" will then attempt to "translate" what their partner said using extremely formal language, as if speaking to a judge, usually starting with the phrase "what my client is trying to say is...". After each pair makes their defense, the rest of the class can judge whether they made a good case or not.
