Hello!
How are you? The picture above is of Buddhist prayer flags. There are many unique small communities around the world based on ethnic identity, or religion, or language, who live in different places.
The Ainu in Hokkaido are an example of this kind of a community.
Homework/activity
Research about a unique community in a different country and design and present a poster or Power Point show about it. The community can be based on religion (宗教), ethnic identity (エスニシティー), language (言語) , or another unique point you find. Here are some examples of unique communities around the world for you to choose from:

Here are some examples of unique communities around the world for you to choose from:
the Irish travelers (Ireland)
the Bretons (northeastern France)
the Basques (southwestern France & northeastern Spain)
Jews of the Jewish Autonomous Oblast (Siberia, Russia)
French-Canadians (Quebec, Canada, and other parts of eastern Canada and the northeastern U.S.)
the Lumbees (North Carolina, the U.S.)
the Sikhs (India)
the Falashas (Ethiopia, Eritrea, Israel)
- or - another community you can find out about.
You can use Internet articles and download pictures too from English, Japanese and other sources. But you must write in English on the posters or in your Power Point slides, and present in English.
As a sample of the kind of research you can do, check out this article here about the Swedish-speaking Finns.
Here's an example of a poster you can design (this one is A3 size - but you can go smaller too!)
Have fun with this - and good luck! Please remember - we will do these presentations on November 28th. But get to work now! Next week I want to see your ideas, notes, and other information you can gather up about your topic.
See you next class!
