Hello to all my Writing 1B students,

How are you? Today we will learn about paragraph writing. We will also start our first homework project.

WARMUP
Make some teams. One member will be a reader - the other members will be writersThe reader can keep his computer on - but the writers can't use their computers - only pencil and paper! The reader has to read these sentences: 

1. Tokyo is the biggest city in Japan.

2. English is important for engineering.
3. October is a beautiful month in the Kanto.
4. Shibaura has campuses in Saitama and Tokyo.

The reader has to remember the sentences without looking at the computer screen again! He will dictate the sentences (文章 を書き取り) to the writers.


Which team's reader remembered the most sentences correctly? And which team writers wrote the sentences correctly? The team that gets the most sentences right wins!

LESSON

Let's do some practice exercises in the textbook from pages 10-15.

ACTIVITY 

Talk about your student life at Shibaura with your classmates. Do you like the campus life here? Make some notes about what you and your classmates think. Negative opinions are okay! 

HOMEWORK 

Write a paragraph titled My Student Life at Shibaura.  You need a topic sentence, supporting sentences and a conclusion - a finishing sentence - at the end. Do your paragraph outside of class - and save it in your file. I will check it in class next time!

Good luck! Thank you for your hard work and effort!


See you next class!
