What we did in the last class

In the last class, we leaned citation again. Citation have many kinds so we have to use them up to the purpose. I was bit confused but I want to memorize the use because I know it's important to use citation correctly especially in academic reports. 

I am planning to write a report about death penalty in Japan. Although few countries have death penalty today, Japan is sticking to it and most Japanese people are for. Personally, I am against death penalty so I wonder why people in Japan prefer it. Is there any religious back ground? I want to know that by comparing penalties in Asian country with  Western ones. Also I'm gonna research the history and changes of penalty in Japan. Through academic report, I want to learn not only English skills, but many things and get some knowledge how to argue my opinion. 

To write my report smoothly, I'm gonna do freewriting like the video. As the video said, I'm pretty sure an essay with five W(who,what,when,why and where)is much more understandable and persuasive, so I want make it clear in my essay.
