私達対ゼカンドラ Us Against Zekandra
Gabriel Guzman
My project is a children's story reflecting my experiences with COVID-19. In my story, I intended not only to encourage people (even beyond children!) to play their part in fighting the virus (staying at home, wearing masks, etc.), but also to reassure those stressing about this trying time that we have a chance in beating this virus. In the process of making my story, I enjoyed drawing the pictures in the story the most, and I felt most proud of my use of the Japanese I've learned in the past couple of years in my story.

Japanese manga vs. american comics
By Dylan Uribe
My project is about the visual novel form of storytelling, and how different an author from the US may approach a story compared to someone from Japan. My project features key large differences between the two, such as distribution and printing. It also includes minor differences that can be found that are genre specific.My goal with this project was to help show how unique some versions are, and that it's worthwhile to read a story that has similar ideas, because the execution will differ.
COVID Haiku
Alexis Barrera
My project is about life under COVID-19 in Japan. I combined both making a meme and writing a haiku. I chose a shiba because when I think of Japan I think of this type of dog. I think this was because of the assignment Roe Sensei had us do when there was a substitute teacher a few months back. This is related to COVID-19 by the shiba wearing a mask. Even though they are not in lock-down, the Japanese government is actually giving masks to their citizens due to having a mask shortage. These are helping everyone stay protected when being outside.
