In 6th grade we have finally finished our Tutorial Project. Here is my tutorial. Techniques for Memorizing Kanji from YIS Academics on Vimeo. I think the Area of Interation/AoI (Health and Social Education, Community and Service, Human Ingenuity, Environment) that best fits this project is Community and Service because by creating a tutorial I am [...]
