There is an example of work below, (with a photo of Cesar Milan) and the outline and rubric are accessible by the elearning site.

Looking forward to seeing / hearing / reading your interesting dating expectations!

le 22 octobre

Bonjour!

First, we will watch the video from Friday and then we will analyse our first chanson.

Then, we will speed date. You have a form to fill out that will be completed for a listening mark of 26.

Here are some examples - choose one - if you do not have your profile.


Bonjour! Je m'appelle Fonzi et je suis content de te rencontrer! Je cherche une fille intelligent et qui aime lire. Moi, j'adore lire et écrire les romans (stories). J'adore le genre science-fiction. Je veux vendre un de mes romans. Je peux parler trois langues très bien. J'aime faire des maths, et j'aime apprendre. J'ai des amis partout parce que je mets (put) mes romans sur l'internet. Les autres personnes peuvent lire mes romans.


Bonjour! Qui es-tu?  Je m'appelle Sonia. Je veux chuchoter parce que je ne veux pas être entendue. J'aime garder des secrets et je ne veux pas avoir beaucoup des amis. Je n'aime pas être dehors (outside) et je ne suis pas très ouverte. Je ne suis pas très active mais j'ai une grande imagination.  Quand arrives-tu à l'école? Qui veux-tu rencontrer encore? Si tu peux me rencontrer, nous allons rencontrer à un restaurant secret.


Bonjour! Je m'appelle Natalie. J'aime faire des activités dehors. J'aime être dans le soleil et jouer aux sports. J'adore le baseball, le volleyball et le golf. Je joue au hockey avec mes amis parce que c'est amusant. J'ai des gros muscles, et je suis mince. J'écoute la musique dubstep et drum et bass. Je veux rencontrer un garçon qui est gentil.

le 19 octobre

Bonjour classe!

I hope that you've had a good week and that you are in the lab, enjoying class.

I want to let you know that your assignment is now due MERCREDI le 24 octobre. 

Please watch this before starting your work at the elearning site here

WATCH THIS FIRST!    - I hope you brought your headphones!

There are reinforcement games on the elearning website. Please play them to know VOULOIR and POUVOIR perfectly for next week!

le 18 octobre

Bonjour classe!

 Today, you will be discovering or reviewing the verbs VOULOIR and POUVOIR.

You will begin by watching a few videos. The boys you will watch, Peter and Jacob, make an error conjugating VOULOIR. Can you find it?
Please don't write anything yet, you will receive a note shortly.

Here is the verb VOULOIR - to want

Here is the verb POUVOIR - to be able to or to can

Here is Peter and Jacob's video

What was the mistake???

Now read through these few slides aloud with a partner. There are examples of how the verbs are used.

Notice that vouloir and pouvoir follow similar patterns. Can you identify the pattern? Hint: it involves ils and elles.

How does this generate more ideas for your project?  Maybe our friend Augusto wants to whisper sweet nothings to his future belle fille? 
Je veux chuchoter les mots doux à une belle fille. 
Let's try to use vouloir or pouvoir plus an infinitive in your work.

Now, please have one student open their elearning account to access the next task.

Bonjour tout le monde!

 Hope you all are doing well.  Here is an example of work to see what is expected for the first project.
With a partner, read through the example, and answer the following questions.

1. What do the colours represent? (vert, violet, jaune, rouge)
2. Does this meet all written requirements listed in the assignment?
3. How does this person challenge themselves by taking their project to the next level (what additional work to they add?)


Academics, tomorrow you will learn vouloir (to want) and pouvoir (to be able to). Attempt to use them if you feel comfortable. They are in the example.

Applieds, you can use this example as a template. Fill in the underlined work with your own ideas.

Salut les filles!  Enchantez! Je m'appelle Augusto, et je suis un grand garçon romantique. J'aime écouter de la musique jazz et mes amis et moi aimons écrire de la poésie (poetry). Nous sommes créatifs. J'ai des cheveux bruns et des beaux yeux bruns. Ma famille et moi avons un chien. Il s'appelle Rico Suave. J'aime marcher avec Rico. Je veux rencontrer une bonne fille intéressante et gentille. Je cherche une fille qui a une belle sourire, et qui est blonde. Elle peut jouer au baseball et elle peut regarder les matchs d'hockey. J'aime lire la poésie romantique. Je veux une fille qui veut lire la poésie aussi (also). Je cherche un rapport (relationship) honnête et amusant. Je n'aime pas les filles méchantes. Je ne veux pas avoir une fille qui n'est pas contente. Aimes-tu les chiens et la poésie? Si oui, et si je t'interesse, appelle-moi! Je t'attends!

I hope this helps!

le 4 octobre

Bonjour classes!

    Please go to the links from yesterday if you want more practice on BAGS adjectives.

Here is one game to play for sure

Adjective brain scramble - click here!

     Below you will see two photos. Choose one photo. Can you introduce at least five people and describe them using BAGS adjectives. You could also just write about one or two characters, and be sure that you use 5 adjectives. 

Write your 5 sentences on a sheet of paper and hand it in to Mme Bell before you leave class. Be sure your adjectives go before the noun it describes, and be sure it agrees  (m/f, s/pl).Take it up a notch - we know it's easy to say Il est beau (he is beautiful). I'm looking for a longer sentence. It takes a longer sentence to use BAGS. Use BAGS sentences so that they come BEFORE THE NOUN IT DESCRIBES.
Mon mari est un beau homme (my husband is a beautiful man).

Tu es une belle fille. Nous sommes des bons étudiants.

Here are some other examples
                                 Voici des beaux garçons intéilligents.
                                 Voici un bon garçon mystérieux.

Bonne journée!
