東京理科大学 A英3: 1st writing assignment・作文1

Hello!



How are you? Today I will introduce our 1st writing assignment (作文1) - writing about memories (思い出こと). 

While I have given all of you the handout about this assignment, I am also posting this here to help remind you about what you can write about - with a few extra notes for you. 

I am gathering writing on this topic into two books called The Small Book of Big People - a collection of student writing about important people from the past (過去) , and Places & Traces - a collection of student writing on special places and other things that people also remember from the past. The best of your writing on this topic could go into one of these books, so write to the best you can! 

How much to write 
I would like you to write as much as you can, because your work may be published on both this blog and in The Small Book of Big People and Places & Traces books. 

I would like to see at least 2-3 paragraphs' worth of writing, but if you can write more than that - I would like to see you try

*SPECIAL NOTE: Please check your textbooks on pp. 22-23 on how to organize your first drafts - it can help your writing! 

Deadline (締め切り
It will be May 21st (5/21), so I want you to work on your first draft (下書き) today in class in your notebooks. I will then show you how to review your work, and your classmates' work, in class and you can change things about the draft as you need to. Then you can write to the finish outside of class and turn in your work on 5/21

Task
What are your special memories? What things do you remember about your schools, families, friends, and/or trips that were special to you? 

If the picture at the top, plus these pictures below, can help you with your writing - use them! As you look at them, what memories might you have of the same places and situations? 

If you have other kinds of memories, or pictures of your own to use, of course you can use them! 




Good luck! See you next week!
