Later in this unit, you will write an expository informational essay about a cultural custom or tradition. By now, you should have a topic in mind. In 3–5 sentences, state your topic and explain why you chose to write about it. Indicate how you plan to gather information about the topic. As part of this assignment, respond to at least one other student's discussion post.
My topic is the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. I chose this topic because I am interested in learning more about the cultural significance of the tea ceremony and the rituals that are involved. I plan to gather information about the topic by researching online sources, such as articles and videos, as well as by talking to people who have experience with the tea ceremony.
