Homework for May 13th


You guys did a great job today!

This week please research your topic and bring the information to class. First try researching on the Internet, then try the school library, your city library and city hall. You also might be able to use interviews and/or surveys to get information.

In the comments, please tell me what topic you chose for our reports.

See you!

  1. Hi, Matt! I'm Sayaka Kasuya.

    I've decided to research about my city's crime rate for my presentation topic.
    I want to know what kind of crime rate is the highest, and think the solution for it.
    I also want to research what kind of effort does my home city is doing toward reducing the crime, if it's possible.

    If necessary, I might use the phone to ask the city about further information, but probably I mainly use the Internet or the library in this research.

    I'm looking forward to seeing you in the next class! See you!

  2. Hi Matt! This is Satsuki Sato.
    Are you having a nice weekend? I do!

    I chose "World's famous city planners" as my topic for the report. First, I will research about 3 to 5 famous city planners in the major countries such as China, the U.S., France, and so on. Then I'll research about their accomplishments on making better cities.

    I can't wait for your next class!
    See you then!!

  9. Hi, Matt! This is Shota.
    Last class, I said that I was going to do the report on the comparison of the 3 places I've lived before, but there wasn't enough information so I think my topic will be "The safest and the most dangerous cities in America in 2009".
    Maybe my topic will change again according to the amount of information I can get.Please forgive me.
    See you next class!

  12. Hi,Matt!
    This is Akira.
    Sorry for being late again...
    I was so busy with my club.
    I went to Shirako in Chiba and stayed there for three days (Friday~Sunday) to enter a competition of tennis.
    However,the result wasn't good...

    OK,so let me talk about what I'm trying to search.
    I'll search what kinds of crimes often happen in my hometown,and how can we prevent or decrease them.
    I think I can find a good data!

    See you tomorrow!
