Japanese classes studying popular culture!

Mr. Blackwelder's 1st year Japanese students are learning about how to describe one day in their life, from sunup to sundown. In February, they will share one day of their lives via video, powerpoint, or poster board to the rest of their classes.
The 3rd year students have been studying about popular culture- from Japanese film, to Jdrama and Jpop! In association with the thematic unit, they will be watching a different music video from MTV Japan each week and discuss features of the lyrics that reflect concepts previously introduced in class.
