Mr. Blackwelder's (Blackwelder sensei) Japanese 3-4 classes have just completed
a performance assessment that included 1) how to introduce yourself on the
phone, 2) giving a formal invitation in Japanese that includes a date, place,
time, and event type, and 3) effectively and politely declining or accepting a
formal invitation. For many skits, students used the excuse of sickness to get
out of unwanted invitations, including a description of at least three common
symptoms. Excellent performances all around!
