Lesson Material

Since I am going to Japan to be an English Teacher, I need to think of material to bring with me about my home culture and language! Here are some things I'm thinking about bringing with me, because they are helpful when I taught in Shimane for a month. Please post new ideas as a comment! Here are the ideas I have so far...
