JAPANESE 3 -- First period

Handout about ラーメン屋 in Tokyo. Class watched film footage and slides about ramen in Tokyo from the New York Times website. (If only one could have a part-time job there!)



Homework from last week was:
Come in prepared to tell me about your own real or imagined バイト
どこ　で、何よう日、何時から何時まで、どうやって　かよって　いる、何　で　行く、どの　ぐらい　かかる、じきゅう、食じ　つき？、
No writing yet, but if you can’t answer when I call on you, I’ll know you didn’t do it.
(Yesterday, Pranee P., Jamie H., D.J. M, Xindi S., Sofia F. and Sally C. explained their part-time jobs. Today, Raymond A, Melisa C., Karen Y., Susana S., Esmeralda T., and Alisa A. talked about theirs.)

Your homework is to write out, in sentences, all the required information about your part-time job. You may use either polite or plain forms, but you must be consistent. Then you must write out the same information for Jacob the werewolf. But do not copy the sentences below; write your own original sentences.

Part-time or temporary job for vampire 吸血鬼 （きゅうけつき）or werewolf　狼　男　（おおかみ　おとこ）! We chose the werewolf.

狼　男 の　名前（なまえ）　は　ジェコブ　です。
アルバイト　は　にく屋　の　アルバイト　です。
肉屋　の　なまえ　は　パウライナ・マーケット　です。
時きゅう　は　千円　です。
狼男　は　どやって　にく屋　に　行きます　か。
ランニング　を　します。それとも　はしって　行きます。
食じ　つき　です　か。　狼男　は　にく　が　大好き　です。
にく屋　で　ぶたにく　が　食べられます。
狼男　は　毎日（まいにち）アルバイト　を　します。
日曜日から土曜日　まで　はたらいて　います。
ごぜん七時からごご八時まで　はたらきます。たいへん　です　ね。

Famous Japanese Writers (Japan Through Japanese Eyes)
Japanese Literature in Translation

Project:

3-page typewritten paper (10 pt. or 12 pt. type, 1 inch margins) regarding the literary work student has chosen (and cleared with instructor)

Due Date: March 19, 2010. No extensions will be granted

Content:
Each student will write a 750 word paper of reader response (NOT a “book report”) regarding the work read, with references to his or her own ideas, life, and reading. Students may also write about what, if anything, seems Japanese from the point of view of Americans. Students should note what is surprising, and what is expected or unexpected in style or characters or story-line.
This is not a research paper about the life of the author. It is not a paper of literary analysis.
Students must be sure to use correct English grammar and correct spelling. Text must be divided appropriately into paragraphs. No more than four short quotations from the text are acceptable.
Students must consult with teacher and receive approval for their chosen books, which must be by a Japanese author. Here is a partial list of acceptable authors below.

Mori Ogai, Natsume Soseki, Murasaki Shikibu, Dazai Osamu, Abe Kôbo, Ariyoshi Sawako, Chikamatsu [Monzaemon], Enchi Fumiko, Endo Shusaku, Mishima Yukio, Ishikawa Jun, Kawabata Yasunari, Kinoshita Junji, [Kobayashi] Issa, [Matsuo] Bashô, [Masaoka] Shiki, Sei Shonagon, Oe Kenzaburô, Tanizaki Junichiro, Yosano Akiko, Zeami [Motokiyo], Osaragi Jirô
