Need extra credit?

Every term I give opportunities to earn some extra credit. Right now, you can choose from the following:

1) If you host a Japanese exchange student and write a one page report about things you learned, including cultural and language matters, you can get 15 points of extra credit.

2) Watch the following Japanese movie. 15 points

David Boyle who resides in Prove has produced a movie, "Big Dream Little
Tokyo," about three years ago and his second Japanese speaking production,
"White on Rice" has been shown in New York and Hollywood and it is coming to
SLC in September. "White on Rice" has received excellent reviews and the boy
actor from Provo who played the main character has been awarded several
awards for his excellent acting.

The story (comedy) goes like this:

A middle aged Japanese man was kicked out of his marriage because he was not
working with not ambitions or direction in his life. So, he comes to Los
Angeles to be a free loader to his sister who is married to a successful
lawyer. The family has a son who plays the piano well. This boy and his
uncle becomes very close friends, and the boy eventually teaches his uncle
the facts of the life: decide his life destiny for himself by himself.
