As you are writing, refer to the notes on page 73. Write on every other line on a page of notebook paper and hand it in at the end of the period. “
Seventh period – Japanese 4 and AP Japanese – room 110
Instructions for students: “Be sure you have your Nakama textbook. Go to page 216. Read the description of the radicals that are ‘enclosing shapes.’ Study the kanji on pages 217-219. Then write out the correct pronunciations, in hiragana, for all the kanji on the 8 sentences at the top of the page on 220 Hand that page in at the end of class. If you still have class time, you may do more work on your culture presentations.”
