There will be interactive class activities for informal assessments. Pair activities/assignments are designed to develop each student's 21st century skills such as collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking. If you are a home school student who is looking for a formal assignment grades, I will be happy to work with you (but I need to know what is expected). ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Any required experience or knowledge learners need? ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: It is recommended that you already know at least half of hiragana and have taken Beginner Japanese Language and Culture 06 (Twice a Week, 4 wks long) prior to taking this one.
