Teacher was absent. The following were notes left for substitute teacher


Independent Study Japanese
Three students -- Rachel Barch, Rachel Schachtman, Ryan Watkins
These students are working on their final project, which is an autobiography in Japanese. They should sit at the back row of computers and work on this project for the entire period. They should check their email for my comments about what they have written so far. Their progress should be emailed to me at carolruthsings@gmail.com before leaving at the end of the period.




Japanese 1 -- room 110
Students should read pages 102, 103, and 104 in the textbook. Then they should work in pairs on memorizing the dialogue on page 100. Please tell students that their dialogue performance will take place on Monday. We will resume the film after exams are over.
Ms. Gardiner Funo O’Kain is an aide with one of the students in the class, Jason Doran. She can help you if you have any questions. She may wish to contribute information known to her personally, and I fully support her doing this.
