Bonjour! 

Il fait beau aujourd'hui!!! I hope you are all having a nice day so far. 
Today, you have one task to prepare for our lesson on Tuesday, and then you have a choice!

1. The teacher will give you a sheet with three different critiques on it. You will find and identify two things: THE FORMS OF AVOIR (you may need to refer to notes to remember those, or look around the room for prompts) and action words that end with 'é'. Highlight them in any way to show me that you can identify the forms of 'avoir' (in one colour) and the action words that end with 'é' (another colour). 

2. Once all students have that completed, you have a choice of film. Voting will take place with head's down, and by raising your hand to show which you prefer. 

3. If you have yet to complete the work from yesterday *and JB - please ask a friend to inform you of what's been happening in class - you may ask to go to the library to get caught up (there are extra sheets for you in the folder for the supply), you must complete that before the end of the period and hand it in. 


Merci! Je vous souhaite un bon weekend!!!!! 

A mardi!!!

Bonjour! 

J'ai une réunion à la dernière minute, je suis désolée que je ne serai pas avec vous. 

 ****Nous ferons la 'reflexion des présentations de Petit Nicolas' mardi. Je mettrai la grille d'évaluation sur D2L pendant le weekend puisque vous puissiez voir comment vous serez évalués. 

1. Today your teacher will give you the answers to the activity that we completed in class yesterday. 
Please take 30 minutes or so (if you need more, that's okay, just discuss with your teacher please) to correct and be sure you understand why you had to make any corrections if you needed to. Cross-reference with un ami, and assess how well you did if it helps!  If you finish, please review and add to what you wrote down about each presentation. Prepare to explain en français and answer a few questions about your réactions to some of the stories that took place! A good strategy: ask yourself - can I explain this en francais for a minute and give details en français?  What can I do to practice? Rehearse in my head, practice with a friend, write down a few more thoughts...? 

2. Then, I have some videos to watch about Les expressions françaises et les expressions belges. Remember we are going to present some expressions soon!  Amusez-vous bien! 

Les expressions françaises contre les expressions belges  - Identifierez-vous les différences?!?! 
Vous pouvez le regarder 2x!!!! 


Et puis, un jeu

Here is a game you can play as a class : Enjoy! Te t'enjailles???!!   ☺

3. Please take home a copy of the at-home activity and bring it back completed Tuesday (the teacher has it). We have already talked all about it and I know you are now ready! Be sure to access D2L for some additional help if you need it! Bonne chance! 
Passez un très bon weekend!!!

Bonjour!   

Today you will be heading à la bibliothèque with your professeur.  At the end of the period you will hand in two things, stapled, with your names on them.  

1. Your rough work outlining what you will be describing about your band or sport team. Earlier we saw an example of a timeline (that is still on D2L). Please follow that exemplar and have at least 10 major/significant events that helped create, change, improve or impede on the success of the group you are describing. You can even talk about specific members of the group and it can be in English for now. Elaborate and add as much important information as you can today. 

Here are three examples;

1. The Pittsburg Penguins formed in 1967.

2. The mascot's name is Iceburgh (true spelling) and he became the mascot in _____________.

3. Sidney Crosby was born in 1987. He started playing hockey when he was ___________ years old. He is famous because ______________.

When you have handed in this work, you may watch the fun videos about la musique et les parodies selected for you on D2L that we will discuss tomorrow. Miss Minard may have to unlock some of these sites in order for you to watch them.

Please remember that watching videos and being in the computer lab is a privilege. If you are abusing the privilege you will be asked to work on additional activities the supply teacher has at a table in the library. 

The seminar rooms are also booked. If some of you would prefer to work in a quieter setting and can access information (and complete today's task well) you may work in the library seminar rooms. 

I will see you tomorrow and hope you have a very nice day! Enjoy the beautiful weather! Il fait très beau aujourd'hui!

Bonjour!

I hope you had a great weekend!
Question #1: Do you know remember what to do in case of a fire drill or a lock down when in this room? Take 2-5 minutes to discuss!

Question #2: If you had to read critiques about restaurants or other amenities and decipher whether you were reading good recommendations or bad, would you be able to?

Click here to access some critiques.  You have about 15 minutes to complete the exit card describing what you read and what you gathered from that reading. You can also access additional critique sites on D2L. It is up to the teacher whether you can use your phones for this activity. This is an assessment of your capabilities so far! 

By the end of this week, you will be writing your own critique! Please begin thinking about what place you will be critiquing for a written mark on Thursday. There is a place to collect useful words and ideas on your exit card. 

Please hand in your exit cards before leaving today.

Question #3: Self assessment for what you'll be learning next. Can you read and understand the main ideas in our timeline exemplar? There are sheets with the teacher that you can read with a partner. Use your infinitives sheet from the beginning of the semester to help with some vocabulary. Remember, these are all events that happened. What written similarities do you see when described actions occur?

Question #4 : Do you have your brainstorming complete for your Major Final Demonstration? If not, you have the rest of class to write down your ideas. 

Hope you have a nice day, et à demain! Bonne journée!

Question #2: Are you ready to correct your EN work? Please access D2L (or ask a friend to access to post on the SMARTboard the responses) to see the EN activity answers still yet to correct.

Les vidéos: 
Please enjoy this video about some additional expressions, and please be sure to add them to your expressions list: after our presentations, you will be completing your work to provide us with your expression knowledge!
C'est quoi la lune de miel et l'expression de 'crémaillère?'
?
Et puis, il y a un vidéo qui suit ...

C'est quoi d'être 'habillé comme un chien à Jacques', 'être dans les patates', et quand quelqu'un te dit de 'te mêler de tes oignons'? 

Then, you may use the class to prepare for presentations. Please have a copy of your script to give to Mme tomorrow, be sure to have proof read and to have provided your very best work (adding all the components we have learned in class up to this point - remember you have more time than expected so don't hesitate to go above and beyond!)

Ça me réjouit de voir vos grands oeuvres!!! 

Bonne journée et à demain!

les instructions pour le 11 mai

FSF 1P 
 Bonjour tout le monde! 

Voici vos instructions pour aujourd'hui. There are three options, and it is important that you try to complete them all! 

1. You will be suggesting, recommending and directing me to a place in the community tomorrow. You may have time to practice by reading and listening to different scenarios on cards the teacher has. 

2. You have an outline for the final demonstration (the teacher has extra copies). You can write down in English ten major events in the lifespan of your band/sport group/book genre  that you would like to demonstrate in English. You may use your phones appropriately to research. If you want to continue and write down adjectives that describe the songs and people in the band, please do!

3. You have time to complete the music listening activity, describing each song and giving the song a number of stars. We will be talking about these songs tomorrow! 

Please use your time wisely. I am asking the teacher to provide me with detailed notes on how you did and if there were any distractions or students needing redirecting (comments from the teacher that are unsatisfactory will affect your participation in our activities arranged for tomorrow). Do your best today!

Bonne journée et à demain!

Please also remember that there is an exemplar of a unique situation script already on D2L that you can read. Please incorporate creative situations into your presentation!! Don't be afraid to go above and beyond!!!

There is a subjunctive sheet that will help with the irregulars we were discovering yesterday. Please access D2L this weekend to see more reinforcement activities.
