"Go Green! with Furoshiki" Project Day 2



The second day of “Go Green! with Furoshiki” project (February 22nd, 2016). We spent last 20 minutes of JA4 class for this project after thoroughly (!?) reviewing for the upcoming first test in JA4. First, as a warm-up, we went over what we did in the last time using the same 100% polyester furoshiki. I was pleased to see that almost all students remembered how to make the shopping bag.
“Go Green! with Furoshiki”(風呂敷でエコに暮らそう)プロジェクト第二回(2016年二月二十二日)。この日は、明後日に迫る今学期最初のテストのためみっちり復習した後、授業終了前の20分間で練習。手慣らしにポリエステル100%の風呂敷で前回のおさらい。ほとんどの学生が手提げかばんの作り方を覚えていてくれていて嬉しい。










Then, finally, I distributed a 100% cotton furoshiki to each student. Of course, they were so delighted! そして遂に学生たちの手元に綿100%のMY風呂敷が手渡され、クラスは興奮状態!






Using their OWN furoshiki, we made the same shopping bag. This time, it seemed that students became more skillful and faster to handle furoshiki. I am so happy to see them engaging in this project!  MY風呂敷を使って、先ほどと同じ手提げかばんを作らせると・・・。今回は今までで最も素早く手際もよく完成。こんなに嬉々と学生たちを没頭させる風呂敷、想像以上の楽しさ。
