Which translator did I use? Dunno. I just used the first translator that came up when I googled "translate english to japanese" (or some such).<br /><br />This collection was a HUGE writing workshop celebration for me. This student not only felt comfortable (and committed to) writing in both Japanese and English, but she also read her favorite poem in Japanese and English to the whole class. I am proud of a workshop that honors ALL writers (especially in our diverse community of learners)!!Mary Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078793537148794310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-49086708478299329362009-05-16T06:17:00.000-04:002009-05-16T06:17:00.000-04:00Beautiful!

I am wondering if you had any native speakers to check the translation, or how you knew how good they were. More details please!Andromeda Jazmonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12355192738014962965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-45270717487786641032009-05-15T17:30:00.000-04:002009-05-15T17:30:00.000-04:00These are beautiful.
