They were encouraged to access elearning / D2L to see more examplars of good work, and a rubric with how they will be evaluated. It is worth 45 written marks. 

Want to snazz it up even more? Can you add how your members are related to others**? You could also explain things about them in the negative ***

Other students are working on their reportage (outline and examplar on elearning / D2L) and their expressions if need be. Reportages are rehearsed Friday and then presented on Monday. 

Students are strongly encouraged to use time wisely and to access their additional resources in order to practice this concept.  There are two additional notes on D2L students can use as reference.

FSF 1D - Today, we played Qui est-ce where students listening to clues about celebrities and well known people in the school and identified them using adjectives. Students then read aloud clues and identified people, and associated adjectives to people they know personally, selecting the appropriate masculine or feminine form of adjective. 
Homework: your chart if it is incomplete and Décrivons-nous list where a name must be selected that best fits the adjectives given. Remember: bavard (e) = talkative.

FSF 2D

Aujourd'hui vous avex taffé (you worked hard - phrase de la journée) . =) Good first dialogue, don't be afraid to elaborate on your next one.

le 5 octobre

FSF 2D 
-   Aujourd'hui, nous avons analysé des petites histoires de la jeunesse de Mme . She told us some characteristics of her childhood. We answered and discussed what type of children we were in our youth, and provided proof with stories of things that happened that supported those characteristics.
We then broke down Hansel and Gretel in English and French to determine and solidify when we use l'imparfait as opposed to le passé composé. We completed our very first Imparfait handout (that has the note on its construction). 
Students will be posed a journal question tomorrow in which they will write a large entry and apply passé composé and imparfait well. This will be their first written piece for marks.  They can expect to write about things we have talked about in class this week. 
First dialogue presentation tomorrow!

This note would be a great help if you need reinforcement

This self correcting quiz will tell you if you're on the right track about when to use each tense

FSF 1D - Students are prepared for their reading activity tomorrow! They can read and understand preferences, abilities and necessities. They can now discuss future professions they want to have, what they are able to do as those professionals (and can't do, or don't want to do) as well. The reading comprehension activity will take place in class and will be worth 20 reading marks. Students will be demonstrating their ability to understand interrogative phrases as well. 

le 4 octobre

FSF 2D - Today, our expressions commenced! Elles ont fait du bon travail! The first group did a good job! L'expression était "Acheter quelque chose en prix d'or". Remember, there will be an activity on your final exam about these expressions. Be sure you understand their meaning en anglais. 
We wrapped up our activity our listening and speaking activity and students will be expected to use passé composé and imparfait well and accurately on their JOURNAL activity IN CLASS on Thursday.   We listened to a story en français and deciphered it, talked about what was a continual action in the past and what things just happened. Then, through our song analysis, students discovered that l'imparfait can represent an -ed action in English, it can set a scene, describe weather, habitual actions and emotions. Students can now answer the following about their 'enfance' / childhood;
Quel émission était ton favori quand tu étais jeune?
Avait-tu une peluche (stuffy) Comment s'appellait-il ou elle?
Est-ce que tu avais un (e) ami (e) imaginaire? 
Qu'est-ce que tu aimais faire? 

Here is a useful site to explain imparfait vs. passé composé

Want additional practice or a note? Click here.



FSF 1D - Today, students read their first conversation aloud en français. We pieced together our knowledge of question words and phrases to and completed our first reading comprehension activity (open questions, vrai ou faux, and guess the English / French equivalent to the expressions). We can identify how to ask if someone is available to make plans for the weekend.
