Hello!
How are you? Today I will show you our 3rd writing assignment (作文3) - comparing and contrasting (比較対照している) different important people, discoveries, or inventions in science and technology.
As an example - look at the picture above. It is Pierre and Marie Curie, the famous husband-and-wife physicist and chemist. Both of them won Nobel Prizes, with Marie Curie winning two prizes - one in physics and another in chemistry.
She is the only woman to ever win two Nobel prizes, and the only person to ever win in two different sciences. Is it possible that she might have achieved more than her husband? Or is it possible that her husband might still have been greater, because he made it possible for her to do research at a time when it was very difficult for women to work in the sciences? What do you think?
While I have already given you the handout about the assignment, I will post it here as well as another way to help remind you about it, and what you can do for it.
Task
Good luck with this! I hope you can have fun with this, and enjoy writing comparisons and contrasts about people, discoveries, or inventions in science and technology.
See you next time!

Task
You have a choice between two (2) different topics. Choose one (1) of these:
1. Compare and contrast (比較対照して) two (2) different important people in science or technology to each other. Compare the two people you admire and respect, and who are important to you and how you think about science and are interested in it. But which person do you think might have had the overall greater impact? Think about this and make this the basis of your comparison and contrast.

I will gather your writing on this topic into The Small Book of Big
People book I have talked about before in class.
2. Compare and contrast two (2) different important related scientific or technological discoveries or inventions in their impact to each other. Compare two important discoveries or inventions in science or technology within the same or similar field, especially those that may have gotten you interested in science and technology. Which discovery or invention do you think might have had the overall greater impact? Think about this and make this the basis of your comparison and contrast.

I will gather your writing on this topic into another book called The Stories of Science.
How much to 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 and Stories of Science books.
I would like to see maybe 3-4 paragraphs' worth of
writing - the more, the better. You can write more than this if you can - and I encourage you to do so!
Deadline (締め切り)
It will be at the beginning of the class on July 9th (7/9), so I want you to bring in
a first draft (下書き)
on that day in your notebooks in pencil. I will then show some more guidelines in class with language and other points of comparison and contrast, changing things about the draft as you need to,
then write to the finish and turn in your work on 7/9.
Good luck with this! I hope you can have fun with this, and enjoy writing comparisons and contrasts about people, discoveries, or inventions in science and technology.
See you next time!
