作文3/3rd writing assignment

Hello! 



How are you? Today I will show you our third writing assignment - expressing an opinion on something you feel about to your classmates.  This will be due next week (7/13).

Guidelines
We will do this assignment in a unique way - we will have different groups in our class, like this: 

例えば:

Each group will think of some topic ideas for another group to write about. Each group will be writers - and readers - of other groups' ideas.  

例えば:Group 1 thinks of some topics - Group 2 has to write about those topics to Group 1.
例えば:Group 2 thinks of some topics - Group 3 has to write about those topics to Group 2.
例えば:Group 3 thinks of some topics - Group 4 has to write about those topics to Group 3.
例えば:Group 4 thinks of some topics - Group 5 has to write about those topics to Group 4.
例えば:Group 5 thinks of some topics - Group 6 has to write about those topics to Group 5.
例えば:Group 6 thinks of some topics - Group 7 has to write about those topics to Group 6.
例えば:Group 7 thinks of some topics - Group 8 has to write about those topics to Group 7.
例えば:Group 8 thinks of some topics - Group 9 has to write about those topics to Group 8.
So then we come to a full circle:
So then we come to a full circle:
例えば:Group 9 thinks of some topics - Group 1 has to write about those topics to Group 9.

Important note: All groups will also peer review their partner groups' writing!  

Topics 
What topics can you choose from? What can you write about? Anything is okay! Here are some ideas - but you can think of other ideas of your own: 

Things that can be improved about Daito Bunka (classes, buildings, lunches, programs, etc.)
The latest fashions and what you think are good - or bad
The latest music and what you think is good - or bad
News or political topics (Britain's vote to leave the EU, the refugee situation in the Middle East or Europe, the future of Japan, etc.)
Social issues (ethnic minorities in Japan, LGBTQ people, hikikomori, etc.) 

Important note: I will collect the best of this writing into a blog collection to be published - so write to the best you can! 

So good luck! See you next time!
