ニ．Then, go to the lexilogos site.  Type a 3 sentence description, in the Japanese writing system, of your room at home, telling what a visitor might find in it  あります.  Leave spaces between words and relational particles.  Skip lines.  Write your name in the upper right hand corner of the page in BOTH English and katakana and include your class number.  Type other foreign words in katakana.  [Example: sofa  ソファ]  Start each sentence on a new line, at the left.  Copy what you have written and paste it into the Word document.  Do this even if you know how to add Japanese to Word – it’s a good backup system to know about.

三．Using http://jisho.org/  ,  look up the following words, each one with 2 kanji characters.  Write what each word means, and then what each individual kanji means.  Some words have the same kanji.   がくせい、だいがく、せんせい

四．If you can print out at the lab, hand in your work at the end of class.  Otherwise, email it to yourself as an attachment, finish it, print out at home, and bring to school for our next class。
