1. Get the Japan Times (JT) on the morning of Saturday, April 19, 2008 at a newsstand of a train station near your house. Note that the JT is a morning paper and that you cannot buy it in the afternoon. If you should forget to get the JT, go to the JT and buy a copy of the news paper. See here and this map for info about where the JT is. You should call their Sales department first BEFORE you go there.
2. Use the JT and finish Handout, pp. 3-4 (Homework #1).
3. Read Handouts (pp. 5-6 and 9-10) and prepare for the next class.
4. Start thinking about the topic of your first presentation. Your presentation date comes a lot faster than you think!
