My Project

These are for students who are currently taking Japanese in high school from 9-12th grade. This is an elective class and students choose to take the class to learn the culture and language. Please help students practice writing the alphabet and Kanji using calligraphy pens and white board markers. These will help students immerse themselves into the culture and have more understanding of the culture in more depth. I will be checking for understanding on students hand writing, I will be providing instant feedback to all students quickly. Japanese language and alphabets are so specific about the lines, so it is important to get the all the lines correctly.
