Your party invitation cards are on the white board.

Amira, Mark, Idan, JB will read their party invitations in front of class.
Please use your laptop to video record your presentation. I will watch it later.
Use only Japanese to give information.
When someone says “もういちど　いってください” you need to repeat what you have said.
When everyone in class took notes, you will ask questions in English.
Title of the party
When: Date and Time
Where:
What: to do, to eat, to drink etc.

Students
should take notes in English
Say “もういちど　いってください” when you want the speaker to repeat.
Answer the questions only when your name is called. You do not shout your answer, please.

When there is still time, worksheet is on the board. Some students (Joseph and Aner ?)
have it already.

Complete the sentences in the worksheet using verb.ましょう。
Then present your suggestions in the task above to people in your class.
If someone agrees with your suggestion, s/he should reply
いいですね、〜はたのしいです（おもしろいです、おいしいですetc. use appropriate adjective)
verb〜ましょう!
For example, いいですね、えいがはおもしろいです。みましょう！
and sign in the space next to each sentence.
If the person disagrees, s/he should reply using the pattern in the worksheet.
For example,　いいえ、えいがはつまらないです。シーディーをききましょう。

Now you know adjectives in Japanese.
Let’s write the dialogue using adjectives and find a partner to act it out.

◯◯さん、subject は adjectiveですか？
いいえ、adjective/negative form of adjective　ですよ。
いっしょに subjectをしましょう!
いいですね。subjectをしましょう！

For example
トム：ジョンさん、やきゅうはむずかしいですか？ Hi John, is baseball diffficult ?
ジョン：いいえ、むずかしくないですよ。たのしいですよ。No it is not difficult. It’s fun.
いっしょに、やきゅうをしましょう！ Let’s play baseball !
トム：いいですね。やきゅうをしましょう！ Sounds good. Let’s play baseball.

After the dialogue
Write short paragraph about things you do and don’t do much. Use verbs and adjectives in Japanese.

にちようび、やきゅうをします。I play baseball on Sunday.やきゅうはたのしいです。Baseball is fun.
やきゅうのあとで、アイスクリームをたべます。After baseball, I eat ice cream.
アイスクリームはおいしいです。Ice cream is delicious.
スキーをしません。I don’t ski. スキーはむずかしいです。Skiing is difficult.
