Explanation on World Language Week

World Language week started today!!!!!

During the period you are taking Japanese, all language classes during that period gather together to play some games and have fun. During Culture Bowl and Film festival you can get cash prizes!!!

3/20 Culture Bowl in the cafeteria(Japanese 2, 3 and AP)

Participating in those activities will count as your daily grade, so if you don't show up on those days, even if it's excused by your parents, you are not going to get points for that day.

Remember that this is the last week of the term, so hang in there! Come to class and let's have fun together!!!!!

For Culture Bowl and Scavenger Hunt, please refer to the packet I gave to you guys before.

Extra credit for Term 4

There are lots of extra credit opportunities for Term 4, so I would recommend everyone check the blog once a week so that you don't forget.

1) Attend World Language Night next Thursday (3/29) from 7 to 9:30 p.m. 30 points

2) Attend BYU Language Fair during Spring Break on Friday (4/13). This one I would love as many students as possible to attend because it's the most fun activity. We are having a big competition on that day with lots of schools all over Utah. In the past AFHS has won all the categories, so I hope we can win this year as well. 30 points.
http://languagefair.byu.edu/

3) Attend Nihon matsuri (Japan's festival) in Salt Lake on April 28th (Sat)
http://www.nihonmatsuri.com/
You will have to write a half page report with at least 3 pictures you took from the festival.
45 points

4) If you do one extra day of your 24 hour speaking assignment, you will get 40 points of extra credit.

If you do all of them, you can get up to 115 points, plus the points you get being the helper of the day writing the dates correctly.

Videos

Japanese classes next year

For some of you seems pretty early to think about classes for next year, but some schools are already registering. My schedule changed slightly.

A1 Japanese 1 at the junior high
A2 prep time
A3 Japanese AP
A4 Japanese 1

B1 Japanese 2
B2 prep time
B3 Japanese 2 IVC (Class broadcasted to Lehi and PGHS)
B4 Japanese 3

For the past 3 years, Japanese 3 and AP class have been combined, but I could finally this year got this class to become a separated one, so those that I talked to you individually, please take Japanese AP instead of Japanese 3. If I don't have at least 14 students, Japanese 3 and AP will be combined again that means no more full-time contract for me.

Thanks!!!
