〔Weeks 7: プロジェクト〕　グループでアメリカの小学校生活や学校の決まりにどんなものがあるか、また、その目的（意義）について調べる. その後、地域の補習校で掲載してもらうためのウェブページ（Wiki)を作る. アメリカに来たばかりの日本人生徒と親 に向け、日本の小学校生活と関連付けながら解説する.

In a group, create a web page on Wiki that explains American elementary school students' life for Hoshuukou in the area, so that newly arriving Japanese families can learn about American school systems and smoothly start their life in the U.S.

1) The instructor will create a Wiki page (Wikispaces.com )  for the class and invite all students to be members.

2) The instructor will divide the class into groups of three according to each student's expertise.

3) Your Wiki page should include descriptions about a typical American elementary school students' life. (e.g., what they do at school and after school, rules that students are expected to follow, and reasons why these rules exist) 4)  The Wiki page should also include as much audio, visual, and text materials as possible to effectively introduce the American school system.

5) For visual materials, you must get permission from those whom you videotape or take pictures of for putting on your Wiki page.

6) Your wiki page will be evaluated using this rubric.

7) Note that the Wiki page you created for this lesson will be part of the final project.
