It is time to plan the project and a special event on April.

General discussion

How did students react?

Would you recommend this activity for a future class?
Yes.

Why or why not?

The project is requirement for the conversation class. As for question and answer, I hope it was helpful for Thomas to take an interview in Japanese. I think it was good for other students to practice asking and answering non-prompt questions.
