My Year in Japanese 2- Final Installment

Topic 13

 

Along with introducing the remaining classes not covered in the previous My Year in Japanese 2 installment, you will need to describe the rules of your remaining classes and improve on what was said the previous time. Look over the feedback on Jupiter grades and see what comments were left and listen to what you said previously. Add on more than what you said previously.

 

Use a variety of grammar that was covered in topic 13:

 

～てもいいです。～てはいけません

Part of topic 13 was to explain rules using the てもいいです。and the てはいけません。Use these grammar patterns to explain what the rules are in each of the classes.

 

～てください。～ないでください。

If a student were to take these classes next year, what type of advice would you give this student? 

Example:

Please study everyday. Please do homework. 

 

Other grammar patterns:

Adjの

Qualitative nounなの

Noun1かNoun2Verb phrase

Noun 1もNoun 2もVerb phrase

Question 1それともQuestion 2

 

The second part of this project will be to narrate an activity that you attended this past year and give details:

 

Who: Who went to this event? Did you go by youself?

What: What is this event that you went to? What kind of event was it? What was there? Was there food? What kind of food?

Where: Where did this event take place?

When: When did this event take place?

Why: Give reasons for either why you did something or why you liked or disliked something. 

How: How did you get to this event? Or did it take place at your home? 

 

You need to have multiple slides to narrate this event. The first slide should be the setting and the rest should make some type of chronological sense. What happened first? What happened next? Make sure to make use of transition words.

 

Make sure that when you have completed the recording that it has been shared with your period group.
