Hello!
Another important note: I will collect the best of this writing into a blog collection to be published - so write to the best you can!
How are you? Today I will show you our third writing assignment: expressing an opinion on a timely topic or issue. You can do this on something you feel about to your classmates.
Homework & guidelines
1. We will do this assignment in a unique way.
For homework for next week (7/14), each student will think of some topic ideas for another student to write about.

例えば：
Hanna thinks of some topics - Haruka has to write about one of those topics to Hanna.
Hanna thinks of some topics - Haruka has to write about one of those topics to Hanna.
Haruka thinks of some topics - Hanna has to write about one of those topics to Haruka.
We will do this with every student in the class pairing with another student, and thinking of some topic for each other to write about.
2. In class next week (7/14) - all students will bring in their topics. Then each student will choose one of the topics another student gives him or her. Then in class, all students will write on those topics and be writers - and readers - of other students' opinions about those topics.
Important note: All groups will also peer review their partner groups' writing!

Themes and topics
What themes can you choose from? What topics within them can you write about? What can you write about? Anything is okay!
For example, the picture above is of a refugee boy in an asylum center in Germany - so one theme you could write about is on the issues of Middle Eastern refugees in Europe or elsewhere. Here are some other ideas - but you can think of other ideas of your own:

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