le 11 janvier

FSF 2D
Today we did a reading comprehension activity to prepare for our speaking exam. Students recognized answers and matched them with questions. We did a listening activity about le petit Nicolas in preparation for our listening exam, and wrapped it up with an outstanding presentation done for le petit Nicolas.

FSF 1D
Today we did a listening comprehension activity to prepare for our speaking exam. Students recognized answers and matched them with questions from their speaking exam. We then created our own phrases by using flashcards, reviewing how to apply what we know to describe the past. Students wrote phrases down to demonstrate they can do this (which will be very helpful on their written exam).

FSF 3U / 4U - We discussed which scenario from our "drame" Mes Deux Amours could have been the most likely en français. We did some true and false, read out loud with Mme the starting of chapter 6 and completed it as we became aware of our marks. Please be prepared for a reading activity for marks tomorrow.

I am happy to review work and questions from exam review or otherwise.

COME ASK QUESTIONS ANYTIME, PLEASE. I AM USUALLY IN MY ROOM AT LUNCH.

le 8 janvier

FSF 2D -
   Today was dedicated to preparing our "expressions". We watched an expression demonstrated and figured out that it was FAIRE GAFFE. Les étudiants, il faut FAIRE GAFFE et ne gaspiller vos temps en class pour travailler!!!  =)

FSF 1D -
   Today we received our official speaking exam questions. We started review for all exams with activities and games, un scrambled 6 sentences and received back responses written out yesterday (pay attention to feedback!)

Here is a game to practice what we were unscrambling today (EXCELLENT PRACTICE AND REVIEW) ; Play rags to riches. Identify the appropriate phrase!!


FSF 3U / 4U -
   We did a fill in the blanks activity to piece together chapitre 3 of Mes Deux Amours. We also discussed how we feel about the main character's imagination, discussed pros and cons and all the while, summarized the story so far. Great work and comprehension! We started our first texting session to gear up for our writing exam.

Bon weekend, tout le monde! Thanks for a great week back!!

FSF 2D-
 
     Aujourd'hui, nous avons fait des activités qui explique le temps, la météo, les comment on réagit (how we react to certain weather - les vêtements qu'on porte, les actions qu'on fait...
Here is a link to a resource that we used. We now know more clothing vocab and when we'd use it en français!
Here is what the goal was : S'il neigeait, je m'habillerais avec un toque / des gants.
When we use a hypothetical situation and use the conditional, just like in English, we need to introduce it with the imparfait.
Si + imparfait + conditionnel   - If it was raining, I would bring an umbrella.

Here is a link to practice;
Can you change the missing verb to le conditionnel


FSF 1D - Today we discussed studying and good exam-taking habits to develop and practice. Students did their reading activity for marks and they look good!!! Bravo!!! Tomorrow we will continue our exam preparations.

FSF 3U / 4U - We played some review games and summarized chapitre 2. We read chapitre 3 and tomorrow we will be doing a practice written piece in preparation for our written exam. There will be questions for chapitre 3 tomorrow. Head's up: chapitres 4 and 5 will be for homework this weekend!!!

le 6 janvier

FSF 2D - We reviewed 'erreurs communs' of speaking exam questions. We also confirmed our expression criteria and how much they are worth (presentations begin next Friday, one is worth part of our speaking exam mark). We continued our review of questions possibles for the exam, worked on our weather task, and are ready to conquer our speaking exam review coming tomorrow.

FSF 1D -  We did well working on our reading activity that is not only excellent exam review, it is great for our reading comprehension task for marks that is taking place tomorrow. Students can read about a person's daily morning routine and lifestyle and understand it very well!

FSF 3U / 4U - We reviewed chapitre 1 of Mes Deux Amours, did some predicting about l'intrigue by saying how much we agree or disagree, we checked our vocab from that chapter as well as matched English equivalents to their French counterparts from chapitre 2. YOUR VRAI OU FAUX QUESTIONS SHOULD BE READY FOR TOMORROW!!!
Les voici!!!

 

1.     Elle réfléchissait à ses problèmes d’amour parce qu’elle a lu le mot ‘aimer’.       _____
