Web Discussion Forum

You have access to 2 forums:

1. 2006-2007 Palos Verdes East Asia Seminar - Please use this forum to introduce yourselves to fellow classmates and discuss issues raised in this class and your small group assignments.

2. Asia in My Classroom - Please use this forum to discuss a wide variety of issues and to post your film review assignment and comments about East Asia-focused websites. This site is open to all teachers who have participated/are participating in the East Asia seminar at our different locations, so this is a wonderful opportunity to share information and ideas.

This is a guide on how to use the web discussion forum.

New readings for Japanese Literature section

Professor Lynne Miyake has given me a new set of Japanese Literature readings for you. I have broken them items in various parts. One reading is too large to post so it was attached in an email. I will have printout copies for you next weekend.

On the first page of the Part 1 PDF, she has also noted which readings she will focus on the most on so please read these relevant sections. [Edit by="Kami Holman on Jan 26, 2:27:33 PM"][/Edit]
