Hello!
How are you? Today, I'll tell you about our 2nd writing assignment (作文2). While I have given all of you the handout for this assignment, I will post it here as another way to help remind you on what you can do for this assignment.
TaskYou have two (2) choices on what to write about. Choose one (1) of them:
1. Write about your favorite place
In this topic, write about your favorite place. While you did this in your practice writing, I would like you to go deeper and farther with it – in it, you can write about where the place is and why it is special to you, and very importantly, what feelings you have about it. Write deeply about those feelings and even give some history about them - especially about the first time you ever saw the place and what impact it had on you at that time.
2. Write about a unique, interesting, or special person
While we have been writing more lately about places, you can also write about a person. In this topic, write about a unique, interesting, or special person you know, like a teacher, best friend, coach, or even a family member like a mother, father, brother or sister - or a famous person you think is unique, interesting, or special, like a singer, musician, actor, athlete, or a writer or artist.

Good luck with this! I hope you can have fun with this, and enjoy writing about a place or a person.

If
the place is a tourist spot, or has some long history to it (such as an
important event in the past that happened there), also show why it brings
tourists, or the reasons why it is so historical.
2. Write about a unique, interesting, or special person
While we have been writing more lately about places, you can also write about a person. In this topic, write about a unique, interesting, or special person you know, like a teacher, best friend, coach, or even a family member like a mother, father, brother or sister - or a famous person you think is unique, interesting, or special, like a singer, musician, actor, athlete, or a writer or artist.
I am gathering writing on this topic into a book called The Small Book of Big People. I started this last year with my students then, and I put examples of their work onto this blog. You can check them out at this link, and also at this link too.
How much to write
I would like you to write as much as you can, because your
work may be published (出版した) on both this blog and
in The Small Book of Big People and Places and Traces books.
I
would like to see around 3-4 paragraphs. (Make the
paragraphs at least a little longer!) But if you can write even a little more –
go for it!
Deadline (締め切り)
It
will be June 21st (6/21), so I want you to bring in a first
draft (下書き) on that day in
your notebooks in pencil. Please
follow the important points I will post on my blog about your final draft! Then
write to the finish in class on 6/21 and turn in your work.
