JAPANESE 3 -- First period
This class does not meet on Block Two days.
JAPANESE 2 -- Sixth period
We went over yesterday’s test. Results were much better. There appear to be two reasons if people did not do well:
1. lack of understanding of concepts of different conjugations of types of adjectives (put “great” on board in all 4 forms)
すごい です、
すごくない です、
すごかった です (NEVER でした)、
すごくなかった です(NEVER でした)。
2. lack of explicit vocabulary study Everything was on blog last night, and I told you it was there, so if you made lots of mistakes, it means you made no effort
Handout from Nakama for practicing sentences about weather.
Homework is to do page 27 in workbook, writing material in rectangle in English on a separate piece of paper, and filling in the map with the proper symbols
Your weather project posters will be due on Monday

JAPANESE 4 and AP – Seventh period
Jerome M. and Amy Z. gave their oral presentations on Japanese holidays, flower-viewing and becoming-an-adult-day.
The following week, Mike S. and Anton H. will present. The week before Christmas break Connie Y. and Lalita A. will speak. The week after Christmas break, the speakers will be Elizabeth A. and Tommy Y.
Re-iterating AP speaking assignment:
日本との出会い:第三、四課
APの祭り(まつり)の 発表(はっぴょう)
1. 好きな 日本 の まつり を 選びなさい(えらびなさい)。
2. まつり の 名前 を 先生 に 教えなさい(おしえなさい)。
3. インターネット や 本 や ざっし で 調べなさい(しらべなさい)。
4. カード で みじかい ノート を 書きなさい。
5. あたらしい ことば の リスト を 作って みな に 出しなさい(だしなさい)。
6. ノート を 見ながら、みな に まつり の こと を 話なさい。
長さ: 五つ の 段落(だんらく)、三分
Practice your speech so that you can speak comfortably and clearly and with a natural rhythm. Before speaking, you must hand out a list of unfamiliar vocabulary so that everyone can understand your speech. This assignment will be graded as an oral performance, not as a written project. The other students will take notes as you speak and will contribute to the evaluation. You will hand in the (legible) notes (information items, not sentences) to Sensei at the end of your speech. You will see a rubric for speeches/presentations on the other side of this page. Thinking about these criteria will be useful when getting ready to talk about the matsuri you have chosen.

3.A.ラジオ を 使う(つかう)。 B.きれいな 音楽 を 聞く。

On a separate piece of paper that you will hand in, combine each A - B pair above into one sentence. Make necessary adjustments to verb tenses. Translate each resulting A – B complex or compound sentence into English. Use the following items and patterns:
一.A 時 B: WHEN (a specific point in time) A, B

三.A から (ので) B: A THEREFORE (SO) B
四.A けれども (が)B: A HOWEVER (BUT) B

The result will be a total of 20 sentences in Japanese and 20 sentences in English.

AP people should be getting ready for kanji test on 2 Nakama chapter 2.
We will work soon on independent dialogue between guide and tourist being shown around a location.
