前期・期末作文/final writing assignment

Hello!


How are you? Today I would like to introduce your topic for our final writing assignment (期末作文): writing about people in difficult situations, such as refugees (難民). I will show the steps you will take for this writing. 


1. Scenario
Look at the boy in the picture above. He is a refugee and he and his family are going to Japan. Where could he come from? What is he feeling? What do you think he imagines about his future life in Japan? What do you think he knows about life in Japan? 

Now do the same with these two following pictures. Who are the people in the pictures? What are they doing? Where are they going? Where might they be coming from? What are they feeling? Talk about these.



2. Final writing assignment 1st draft
Now - choose one (1) picture and write about it in class - imagine that you are a person in one of these pictures. You are going to Japan to start a new life.

Think about questions like these for your writing:

Where do you come from?
Why are you leaving your country?
What is your image about life in Japan?
What do you expect when you come to Japan?
What are some of your hopes, dreams and wishes for the future?

3. Final writing assignment final draft
Now - you will type your final writing assignment on a Word document, print it out, and bring it to our final class next week (7/22). 

See you next time!
