Hello!
How are you? Here are the topics,
deadline, & guidelines for our mid-term short writing assignments (中間作文) .
Originally, the syllabus had a plan for us to prepare short mid-term presentations. But because of the changes we have had to make to the schedule, I believe doing the writing project at the mid-term may be easier and better for the class all around. (We will do the presentations as our final project near the end of the semester.)

Topics
Here are your choice of topics. They're based on what we've done
so far in class. You can choose one (1) of these:
- Facts or other interesting phenomena about DNA
- Genetic origins of the Japanese people
- How children learn/acquire language
- Genetic facts and other characteristics of twins
Deadlines (締め切り)
It will be on December 1st (12/1), so
you have over one (1) month to prepare them. Please be ready to
hand in on the deadline day.
Guidelines
1. Prepare a summary (要約) on the topic you want to write about in pen or pencil in your notebooks. The summary will be due on November 10th (11/10). I will review the summaries.
*Go to this link on another blog of mine for a review of what should go into a summary. The link is a post about summaries and outlines - for now, only look at the part about summaries! I hope this can help you in your summary writing.

2.
After I review the summaries, you can begin writing a rough draft (下書き) of your paper in pen or pencil in your
notebooks. The rough draft will be due on November
17th (11/17).
3.
After I review the rough drafts, you will begin working on a final draft, which
will be typed up on word and printed out. I will show you a format that you
will use when writing your final drafts.
4.
Finalize your typed drafts outside of class and be ready to hand in
on December 1st!
Good luck with these! I’ll look forward to seeing your great work!
