Busy Thursday!

Good afternoon! I'm worried that you don't have enough to do in class, so I have a long list of things for you to do today!

To Do List, Thursday, June 28

1) Check out the Reddit post Kevin made last week about wearing surgical masks:
http://www.reddit.com/r/japan/comments/vd85d/what_do_you_really_think_about_surgical_masks/
The post has 21 comments, including one from Brazil! Only one of our Essay Writing students posted here (thanks, Daiki!), but you should check out the page to see what people are saying about this topic.

2) Pass in your Opinion Essay. But before passing it in, please check if you ...
  • capitalized the title
  • have good paragraph shape (block style or indent style, but not both)
  • have space between lines (double spaced)
  • put one space after a period, comma or question mark
  • included an introduction and a conclusion
  • summarized your 3 reasons in the conclusion

3) Read the "How to ..." essays by some of your classmates below (scroll down).

4) Do Kevin's handout on sentence combining - The Snowboarder.

5) Do the exercise on the back re. expressions with "get".

6) Read the post of your choice from Japan Probe and write an opinion comment here in the comment box below. There are several interesting posts, but I recommend "Sh*t Gaijin Never Say". However, the humor may be a little difficult, so feel free to choose a different one. Remember to write your name at the end of your post so Kevin can give you a point. - Kevin

7) Finish any 2nd or 3rd drafts of past due essays, or write your Opinion Essay if you haven't finished it. Remember to always include the previous version (blue ink copy) when you turn in a revised essay.

You have a lot of things to do, so please be busy! Kevin will talk to some of you about your writing. Feel free to ask him questions during class time. Ciao!

  2. I saw "Sh*t Gaijin Never Say". I couldn't that all of them, but I saw "Sh*i Gaijin Say", I understood little first one. However I think my English is like that.

  4. "Anonymous Launches Cyber Attack On Japanese Government"
    I think I don't know. But I think only thing that everyone shouldn't commit a crime. But for justice it may need. This matter is difficult.
