Instead of a test Murakami-sensei gave us a nice surprise. We all went to the library and selected a book in Japanese to try and translate into English to improve our reading skills and to show us how to deal with difficult kanji. I ended up choosing Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K. Rowling. Although the book is a bit higher than my current  Japanese reading level, because I have read it before, it  makes it an interesting challenge. My goal is to have translated the entire book to English before I leave Japan. (or at least buy it and take it back for practice) This is a great independent practice technique and I'm really glad she showed us.
