Death Note with the 三年生

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

A couple of days ago one of the teachers at my school suggested we let the students write their own script for a scene from the popular manga Death Note. These are three of the best (so far, only one class has done this activity) You might have a hard time reading, so click to open in a new window.

New School - Tokeminami Junior High School

Sunday, November 25th, 2007

Too late! I should have written about this ages ago. Its not really the new school for me any more now that I have been here since school started again after the summer break. Its quite a new school, but the trip in the morning is horrible. Its almost a full hour to get to school, and there is only one train I can take in the morning, and then another 20 minute walk.

The students are / have been great and I am looking forward to the time I have left. The teachers here are really nice and seem to get along with the students well too. The English level is also fairly high. Makes my job easier :)

I love tabletennis.

Ok, this is a diary entry written by one of my students. I’m wondering if this student actually worked this out all by themselves or used a translator. I’m thinking the latter. Here it is:

I Love Tabletennis

It is finally the entirety. I cancel it in a typhoon yesterday… All and time to spend on 1st. I love clube. A breakthrough safe as for the paire of me and Matuda! After all I took my ease and I ate it and thought it to love true club activities in all and time to spend! It was good that practice with all one week again because I was win!

Now I kind of understand what they are trying to say, but how in the world would you end up with a sentence structure like that? Still, its not the funniest diary I’ve marked so far. One of my favourites - “I’m a cannon, its a tennis racquet” - for a diary entry.
