じゅうがついつか(10/5) の アクティビティ(activity)

Welcome to げんきに日本語（にほんご） (Learn Japanese with full spirit !).
Today, we are going to learn how to type Japanese on a computer and make a blog post. Please do Activities 1-4 below.

 (If you do not finish all of the activities in class, the remaining activities must be completed for homework due the next day.) 

1. Read about the blog activity (5 min.)

• Please read "ブログかつどう(Blog Activities)," which explains the purpose of this blog activity.

2. Create your blog (15 min.)

• Please read “How to Create Your Blog Account” and create your own blog. Try to come up with a unique blog title. Avoid an ordinary title such as "My Japanese Blog."

• Once you have created your blog, click on "View blog" located in the top left-hand corner, and then send your blog's URL (e.g., example.blogspot.com) to your instructor's gmail address:
• みぞぐち せんせい：mizoguchisensei@gmail.com
•  つだせんせい：asamicolumbia@gmail.com
• まつい せんせい：kyoko.loetscher@gmail.com
• おかもと せんせい：mukuokamoto@gmail.com

3. Type up your first composition or さくぶん１,  and post it on your blog. (30 min.)

• If you do not want to use your real name, you may use a pseudonym. If you have questions or technical problems, we encourage you to help each other. Instructions for how to change the language setting to Japanese on Apple computers can be found on today's handout, "How to type Japanese words in Hiragana and Katakana."
• After writing your self-introduction, form a group of 2-3 students and peer edit your self-introduction. (e.g., Is the hiragana typed correctly? Is it grammatical?) 
• To make the font size bigger, press the “Apple/command” key and the “+” key together (For PC users, press the “Control” key instead of the “Apple/command” key).

• After everyone in your group has read and corrected each other’s self-introductions, click on “Publish,” which will allow your post to be published on your blog.

4. Make a New Post in English (10 min.)

• Write in English about why you chose to study Japanese, 
what you are excited about, and/or what you have found challenging after the first four weeks of Japanese class.
