Our Story (Japanese page)
Our story started from when Mrs. Soda moved to Mills high school in 2000. (She had taught Japanese at Aragon HS and her class had contacted our classes.) Both students have been keeping in touch with exchanging email and participating in on line project.
Email project is the following
200 students or more
at Mills HS and 320 students, 1st grader, of our school are paired up as epal
and they are emailing each other regularly.
GCC project Participation
is the following
Our two classes, class1-7, class1-8 and Mrs. Soda's two
Japanese classes participated in GCC project in October, 2004. We made them
paired up each class of both schools as GCC partner class on web site. They had
been communicating with making web page about each culture and BBS posting until
May in 2005.
The Goal of our program is to
understand each culture, to make friendship and to learn English/Japanese with
talking teen's real life.
These exchange programs had Mrs. Soda and her students made plans trip to Japan
and they also planed to visit our school. The following is the list of their
