Students
write a travel diary in Japanese based on the travel itinerary they developed.
Encourage students to use the information they have and their imaginations to
make the diary "real." Original illustrations or photographs taken from the Internet
or magazines can be included in the diary. |
|
Suggest
to the students that they keep their travel plan and imaginary travel diary until
the day when they actually do go to Japan, and then compare it to what they actually
experience. Suggest that it may be interesting to show their work to their host
family. Explain how comparing the images we create from pictures, travel guides,
first hand accounts and other sources with actual experiences can be the first
step toward studying and understanding other cultures throughout their lives. |
