So far, we have analyzed katakana samples and learned about various usage of katakana. You're expected to make the most of what you have learned through the katakana project.
That being said, you're encouraged to create an original work using katakana in an interesting manner. Avoid using only loanwords (e.g., アルバイト), which are normally spelled in katakana, anyway.
Here are the instructions:
- Choose the type of your literary work (See the previous blog entry for examples). If you want to do 2 different types of literary works, you may create two pieces.
- If you choose to write either senryu or haiku, you need to write at least 3 of each. Read the previous blog entry about haiku and senryu and peruse the rules.
- After you finished your literary work, write the rationale for your katakana usage like this. In other words, you need to explain why you used particular katakana words in your work and what effects you intended to convey.
- Due on Monday, November 19 for both classes.
Just for the heads up on the next task, you will need to comment on your classmates' literacy works (at least 4~5 pieces).
