Geography Project

Japan Geography Project, Nakama Chapter 5:

Students have already chosen the city or geographical area that interests them.  Each student will produce a poster (8 ½ by 14 inches).  On the poster the students will include 4 color pictures of the area and 16 sentences about the area.  Those sentences, in English, will explain what part of Japan the area is in, its population, its famous products (agricultural, industrial, food-related), its famous tourist sites, etc.  The poster must be neat, attractive, and colorful.  Students who think their handwriting is not clear may type the sentences and paste them on the poster.

Each student will also make an oral presentation in English about the chosen area, showing the poster and explaining why the area is important.  Be sure to explain why the area was chosen!

Bibliography---be sure to list your sources: websites, books, magazine/newspaper articles, etc.

Warm-up   2017.04.10    Monday  　

“Traveling” verbs:

いきます                goes

きます                     comes

かえります            returns-home

You often need to tell us what the destination is when you speak/write a “traveling” verb.  Where will you go?  Where will you come to?  Where will you return-home to?  In that case, use the relational particle  に 　(or　へ )  in order to indicate your destination.

Ｅｘａｍｐｌｅｓ：

あした　（Tomorrow）わたし　は　こうこう　に　きます。Tomorrow I will come to the high school.

ロシアじん　は　モスクワ　へ　かえります。The Russian will return home to Moscow.

せんせい　は　よく　日本（にほん）に　いきます。Sensei often goes to Japan.

あきた　しんかんせん (The Akita Shinkansen-bullet-train)　は　あきた　し(city)　に　かえります。 The Akita Shinkansen returns home to Akita City.


し　Suffix = City　　　　けん　Suffix=Prefecture(Something like a state in the U.S.

あきた　し　Is Akita City　　　　あきた　けん　Is Akita Prefecture

Look at the map of the Shinkansen routes that Sensei has handed to you.  Then write 5 sentences indicating where various Shinkansen go or return-home to (bad English grammar…sorry).


On board, sentence pattern for sentences with "traveling" verbs:

Subject　は　Destination  に（Or へ）”Traveling" verb.


Proverb:

芸は身を助ける　　　げい　は　み　を　たすける

Arts/skills save lives.    Art will save your life.
