JAPANESE 1 – Fifth period

In pairs, students displayed their menus and answered questions about food and drink.

This was the menu assignment: With a partner, design your own menu on a full-sized separate piece of paper. What do you like? What do you dislike? Your restaurant serves only foods you like. You’ll have (at least 3) categories, like food　たべもの, drinks　のみもの, dessertsデザート, etc., with at least 5 choices within each category. Give your restaurant a Japanese name and make your menu beautiful. Don’t forget prices in 円（えん）or ¥ (this is the international symbol). Plan for an exchange rate of 100 ¥ = $1 U.S.

Students worked on a relational-particle practice sheet before class ended yesterday.
Didn't have time to cover this today -- postpone to next week
