Kelly here. :) One of the things I will have to do right away when I start classes with students is a self-introduction, combined with some information and discussion about America in general. I think I'd like to do a little quiz/discussion about ideas and stereotypes we have about Japan and the ones they have about us. Can you please help me with this?? I would love responses from anyone at all but especially ones from kids of all ages!!!

I will share the responses I get in Japan once I begin classes at the end of August. I bet you'll get as big a hoot out of their answers as they're sure to get from yours. :)

Fill in the blanks or answer as many questions as you'd like. Use the numbers in your answer so I know which question(s) you're answering. Thanks so, so much!!
