Hello!
How are you? Today, I'll tell you about our 1st writing assignment (作文1). While I gave all of you the handout about the assignment, I will post about it on here as another way to remind you, with a little extra information.
Topic
Write about a unique, interesting, or special person. You can write a one-sided argument about a unique or interesting person of your choice. Research and write about anyone - a scientist, for example; or even someone who is not from science, such as a singer, musician, actor, athlete, writer or artist.
How much to write
How much do you 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 book.
Deadline (締め切り)
Our deadline is May 26th (5/26), so you have two weeks. I want you to bring in a first draft (下書き) next week (5/19) in your notebooks in pencil. I will then review your work, then you can write to the finish and turn in your work.
Good luck with this! I hope you can have fun with this, and enjoy writing about a person or a place.

I
will gather your writing on this topic into a book of student writing about
people called The Small Book of Big People. I started this a few
years ago with students I had
at another university.
So here's some extra information: Check their writing out at this link, and at this link too. These are student writings on other kinds of topics, but they are good examples of the kinds of things students can do. I hope they can give you some confidence that you too can write as well as they can. I believe you can!

I
would like to see all of you go for at least 2-3 paragraphs' worth
of writing – even more is better, if you can try for it.
