3. These “Emory Advertisements” were created as one of Sakubun (composition) assignments. Name recognition of Emory in Japan is not very high in Japan, but Emory is known as a great school which offers excellent education. In Japanese 102, students worked in a group to create their “Emory Advertisement” after they examined various posters by Japanese universities. They chose visual images first to convey their image of Emory and enhanced the image with their own writing.

4. Do you know “Kami-shibai”? This word literally means “paper-theater/drama”.  It is a traditional style of storytelling in which drawings are shuffled with narration. Some students in JPN102 created a digital version of Kami-shibai. Their story and drawings are original. Enjoy Kami-shibai in this digital era!
