1. Please read Ch. 5- 7 (pages 59-97) of Kira-Kira by Cynthia Kadohata.
2. Please post your response to the following question on this forum (250 words minimum):
Reflect on the quote “Lynn said that sometimes in life you had to make hard choices” (Ch. 3 p. 26). Why does Katie say this? When in your life have you had to make a difficult decision?
3. Complete the venn diagram contrasting Katie’s father with Uncle Katsuhisa that we began in class and send via email to me (yiling.wang@ivylabs.org).
4. Translate the last paragraph on p.61 beginning “Everything started to change the winter I was ten and a half...” into Chinese.
5. Read “Japanese Americans in the 1950s” handout attached to this email.
6. From now on, please keep a vocabulary journal including all the words that you did not understand from the book. Reviewing the journal everyday will help build your vocabulary quickly!
