こんしゅうまつのブログのしゅくだい：しめきり (due) 11/7 げつようび

こんしゅうまつの　しゅくだいです。

日本のうちは、どんなうちですか？

アメリカのと　ちがいますか（different）？

日本のうちについて、インターネットで　べんきょうしてください。

そして、ブログに　ポストしてください。

１）Learn about Japanese houses by

         - checking relavant websites

         - reading your textbook p176-177

         - watching the following video

２）Compare American houses and Japanese ones and find similarities and differences

        Think "WHY" (i.e. Typical Japanese houses have at least one rice cooker. "WHY?"). 

３）Post a blog entry about American houses (rooms) for the Japanese audience. Introduce things in your house/ room, and if possible/ necessary explain why.

４）Use various adjectives, verbs and grammar structures.

You could use both にほんご and えいご if you like. Make sure that you introduce unique features of American houses for them.

こんにちは。来週のムービーナイトは「図書館戦争（としょかんせんそう：Library War)」です。

 In a slightly different timeline than ours, the explosion of information and misinformation came to be considered a direct threat to society. In a daring decision, it was decided to create a new government agency dedicated solely to information management. Some thirty years later, in 2019, the government still monitors and controls information, suppressing anything they find undesirable, but standing against their abuses of power are the libraries, with their special agents called ‘the book soldiers.’
