Tasks on these pages

 * The aim of the exercises on these pages is for you to carry out certain tasks exploring your 'relationship' with Japanese and Japan. 'Relationship' being how you feel about it, how you interact with it and what you learn about it. Using the discussion tab, you will be required to reflect on these and other things. You will also be able to comment on other people's spaces and their reflections.

Task 1
In the //discussion// tab __on your page__, post a message with the title "**My impressions of Japan**". In this post you are to reflect on what you think of when you think of "Japan".
 * What is the first thing that comes into your head?
 * Also, you must consider and indicate why you think this is the case.

Click the discussion tab on this page to see my reflection. Please feel free to post a reply and comment.

Task 2

 * Use the "[|Creative commons]" website to find images of Japan that you are able to use without fear of copyright issues ( the 3 minute video on the page will explain what "creative commons" is).
 * Choose at least 10 images to use in a presentation which will illustrate what, for you, Japan is in pictures. You may use "photostory" (on your laptop) or go to [|animoto] and create a slideshow there (you will need to register - but it's easy and the results are pretty cool!).
 * Link your creation to your wikispace page and paste in the image which, for you, most represents Japan. You must then explain why you chose this image. Why is it the image which, for you, symbolises Japan.
