Cats

1. What did you learn about cats from this video? Make a short presentation for the class about cats.
2. A regular English question in Japanese university entrance exams is: "If you were an animal, which animal would you be"? Because it is easy to copy an example answer from a textbook, most students choose to be a bird, but I think choosing your real animal is both more interesting and good English practice.  So please make a presentation for class, about the animal you would like to be.

Culture

1. Please watch the video and make a short presentation about it for class. Do you think it is a good explanation of Kabuki? Would you change it? If so how? 
2. Kabuki is part of Japanese culture, for class, I would like you to make a short presentation about a different part of Japanese culture or another country's culture.
