le 24 mars

Bonjour!

 I am unable to celebrate the beginning of the end of the week with you, unfortunately / malheureusement. 

Here are your instructions for today - JOYEUSES PAQUES!

FSF 1P - Lab 404 - Be sure to read your elearning instructions carefully. Hand in your LES CHORISTES responses before the end of the day, and be sure to upload your answers to your reading activity on elearning for marks!  Before you return on Tuesday, please make sure you watch the videos on directions on your elearning post today. 

FSF 1D - La bibliotheque / the library - Be sure to read your elearning instructions carefully and to use your time wisely. Hand in your two tasks - a Les Choristes listening activity and an Easter in France reading activity. Hand them in using the dropboxes provided. The rest of your time can be dedicated to the other options on elearning. Prepare yourself for our next unit! You will see some preparation activities posted here for you at the end of the day.

FEF 1D - Vous allez terminer Les Choristes.
 There is an activity to complete after. The teacher will have a folder of six packages. Work in pairs (or in groups of three). Each package has a set of events from the film. Cut the phrases (ciseaux derriere l'ordinateur, sur l'etage - boite rouge), and then add what you need to in order to describe who did the action in the film. Don't forget to put your form of AVOIR or ETRE as the auxiliary to make it passe compose. 

Ex.    rendu visite son fils Pierre.   -->   Mme Morhange A rendu visite son fils Pierre.
         fini ses 15 jours dans le noir  --> Mondain A fini ses 15 jours dans le noir.

Once you have done that, put the sentences in order, and document them in your journal or on a sheet of paper. Hand them in when completed (AA is in the orange file holder at front right of class by filing cabinet). 

Be sure to check the blog at the end of the day for your HOMEWORK THIS WEEKEND in order to prepare for next week's task.

Tomorrow is a lab day. Please remember to have your écouteurs!

FEF 1D - Aujourd'hui nous avons fait une ligne chronologique pour expliquer une intrigue d'une histoire. Tomorrow during our lab day students will be creating a timeline based on what they hear.

le 7 mars

Une semaine jusqu'aux vacances de mars!!!

FSF 1P - Students are working on a task today where they are polling their classmates. They have great pronunciation of questions and can develop answers independently.  Good work! We will continue tomorrow, chart and summarize our findings, and we will receive (very very good) listening, reading and speaking marks for our hard work.

FSF 1D - We took up the activity posted on the blog for homework, checked homework (have it ready for Tuesday if it was incomplete) and we created profiles for imaginary types of people listed on the board. Here is an example;

Qui est-ce?

    Bonjour! Je m’appelle Bob. Je suis un grand garçon fort. J’aime aller au gymnase lundi, mardi, mercredi, jeudi et vendredi. Je veux plus de muscles. Je peux gagner aux compétitions de ‘weight-lifting’ et je veux aller aux Olympiques. Je ne peux pas manger les frites et les hot-dogs parce qu’ils ne sont pas nutritifs.

CHALLENGE – Add some adjectives before the noun (BAGS adjectives)

-        Put sentences into the negative using ne… pas

Students will say their profiles to classmates tomorrow who will have to guess based on what they hear what person was being profiled. They will earn listening marks and will receive feedback on their pronunciation to gear up for their major task that will be handed out on Wednesday.


FEF 1D - Students spoke in French so well the entire class!! We didn't choose what type of prix we would receive though!!!?! We applied l'imparfait to describe ourselves as children, we read a French Canadian story and chose why some verbs were passé composé and others imparfait, we charted the events of the story on a timeline, and we received a sheet with a proper note on l'imparfait  with some practice activities.  It should be done for tomorrow's class.
Here is an additional link to help ; Le passé composé et l'imparfait
Here is a game - Can you choose the correct verb tense?

le 4 mars

FSF 1P - Today students had a journée au labo. Everything is accessible through elearning.

FSF 1D - Students today read text messages in French.  They worked an assortment of speaking, writing, listening and game-related practice on our new grammar concepts in order to explain their wants, abilities, responsibilities and what they know. The backside of the worksheet with the texts is due on Monday.

This is a very useful and fun reading game. TU PEUX LE FAIRE - YOU CAN DO IT ! ☺




FEF 1D - Pour mardi, il faut que vous soyez prêts à discuter;
(employer l'imparfait et le passé compose dans vos réponses, s'il vous plait!)

Voici un des jeux qu'on a joué

Où grandissais-tu?
Quelle emission était ta favorite quand tu avais 8 ans (ou quand tu étais plus jeune)?
Quels jeux était les meilleurs quand tu étais jeune? Quels jeux étaient le plus amusants?
Quels livres / contes adorais-tu? Quels histoires est-ce que tes parents aimaient partager / dire / lire avec toi?
Qui lisait avec toi quand tu étais jeune?

FSF 1D - Today, students accomplished three things; 1. They completed a speaking task describing themselves by answering three questions, 2. Students read clues about individuals and wrote adjectives that best described them (using adjective agreement), and 3.
