FSF 2D - We analysed qui était le plus difficile à comprendre from our last listening activity. We also tried a second activity found here and students really can piece together spoken French well, in different dialects with different speech paces. We played a board game to enhance pronunciation, confidence and application of completed actions. Next up, students will have a listening activity tomorrow for marks and will find out what type of fun French colloquialism they will be presenting to the class!
FSF 1D - Speaking tasks took place today, where we applied good techniques to apply to every task for marks. Students were encouraged to prepare ahead of time, make notes on the page and all spoke with confidence. Mission accomplished! Pronunciation has improved, and students are speaking!! We took a style of learning quiz and worked in our review booklet while we waited our turns to speak. Students who didn't complete the speaking task will tomorrow. There is also a listening activity for marks tomorrow! It is a comprehension activity where students will listen to a conversation and answer questions.
FSF 3U / 4U - Today, we identified qui travail où, ce qu'ils y font, as well as dissected an article for a play that was based on le chomage <-- a="" by="" gary="" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xx1SwtMtvs" listened="" new="" song="" sylvain="" target="_blank" to="" unemployement="" we="" word="">Click here to access it!
We identified jobs we heard, about what he was singing and how he felt about le monde du travail. We also recognized the difference of Je suis étudiant / Je suis un bon étudiant. (notice how un is taken away. Some questions we discussed en français dans nos journaux were;1. Quand on cherche un emplois, qu'est-ce qu'on veut trouver?
2. Dans n'importe quel boulot, quelles connaissances sont les plus importantes?
3. Quels types de travails existeront à l'avenir?

FSF 2D - Today, we talked about one thing that we did in the past and our goal to improve our life today. Ex. Hier, j'ai mange des croustilles, et aujourd'hui, je ne mange que des légumes. Students were encouraged to find ways to improve something in their life and use an expression like ne... que instead of seulement to expand our vocab. We did a listening activity (our first à première écoute) and students were strong in persevering and putting pieces of phrases together to figure out the general idea of the story (and even more). We discussed the names of punctuation in French too.
FSF 1D - We completed our review cercle de camarades, had photos taken throughout the class, and rehearsed for our listening and speaking tasks. Tomorrow is our first speaking task for marks!
Please complete the online activities from this week if you haven't already and here is one for today.
Can you identify when we use HAVE / HAS and when we will say BE / AM / ARE?
FSF 3U / FSF 4U - We are entering into our first unit about jobs, work, our futures, how our experiences will help us create the future we want and developing a CV (resume). We added more to our journals and talked about 'family words' in French (cuisine, cuisinier, cuisiniére), identifying parts of speech. Great work. We completed a quick listening activity online as well!

FSF 2D- Review of how to describe things we have done - Nous avons continué avec notre révision en regardant et en lisant (by watching and reading) les paroles / lyrics d'une chanson. Students are encouraged to try all the links available on the blog for additional reinforcement.
Here is the link to the song - we learned the expression ne... que - Ne s'aimer que la nuit
I think students are becoming more familiar in recognizing hints and using strategies to get the big ideas presented when listening to French.
Play battleship here to practice the passé composé with être
FSF 1D- Today, students were busy doing many activities as review and reinforcement for their first speaking task (Thursday) and their listening task in the lab on Friday.
Click here to watch the video we interpreted.
We also create dialogues on the spot with our partners. Here are some phrases we are familiar with:
Students also can identify phone numbers, say their own (fictional), understand French names and how they differ in English, spell them and others... They have been busy!!
Students will have lots of resources in their binder to access when completing performance tasks (proojects). Bravo grade nines. Good start! Bon début!
FSF 3U / 4U - Today, after modeling, we listened and shared activities that may or may not have happened in the past. We identified which were des mensonges, and which we de la vérité. We are recognizing families of words (mentir, mensonge, menteur, menteuse), and started to prepare for our first unit about work and our future.
Here are two links to help.
Scroll down here to access les emplois - Regardez les photos and become familiar with these professions en anglais!
Here is the link that I showed you in class - go to "suivant" in the bottom right hand corner to try more listening activities!!!
Students also started creating their own liste de mes accomplissements. They have a lot to list, I bet!!
Bonne journée!

FSF 2D - Nous avons fait un cercle de camarades! We are continuing our review of descriptions in the past. We will be completing a listening activity for marks on Friday le 18 septembre.
Can you identify some meanings here? Try this quiz!
For which activities will I use Etre? Here is a cute photo to remember!!
Here is our link to our new list of ways to enhance our French vocabulary!
FSF 1D - Aujourd'hui (et demain )we are reviewing useful phrases and ways we can start using French today! We reviewed our diagnostic assessment and discussed the importance of being aware of feedback. We received a booklet and some reference tools that we can always refer back to for help. We have a speaking task Thursday for marks, as well as a listening task Friday for marks in the lab.
Click here to play WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE et practiquez ce que vous apprenez! Practice what we have been listening and speaking about en français!
FSF 3U / 4U - Nous avons écouté une chanson d'Indochine. Nous avons lu un conte fameux, et nous avons commence de jouer MENSONGE ou LA VERITE? Students created their own descriptions of their past from which we will decide if they are true or false. Great comprehension and warm ups so far, les filles et les garcons!

FSF 2D- We did our first extensive listening activity and students did so well comprehending what they heard without visual cues! We discussed helpful strategies. Bravo! We are doing well at identifying important actions that move a story along.
http://www.tapis.com.au/studentbook2/Unit6/u06_situation_a01.html - here is our video
FSF 1D - Today we discussed and executed some very useful organizational tools. We continued our diagnostic assessments and review and students identified the expressions used to talk about what they want, like and don't want and like to do en français; they demonstrated excellent knowledge and have already been applying French in getting to know their camarades dans la classe. Très bien fait!!!
FSF 3U / 4U - Aujourd'hui nous avons discuté les proverbs et quelques expressions. Grade 11s chose their expression du jour and we saw and analysed an exemplar. We used D2L to access useful links to prepare for our first written diagnostic that will help introduce our first unit.
What a nice first week!!! Thank you, classes! Bon weekend!

FSF 2D - Nous avons discuté les activités que nous avons fait dans le passé. Nous avons lu et décrit une bande-dessinée de Garfield et nous avons écouté à une chanson à propos d'une petite fille très frustrée!! That poor mom!
Here is a link for our chanson;
Bébé Lily - Les bétises
Stay tuned tomorrow for links that will reinforce what we have been reviewing.
FSF 1D - Nous avons fait notre evaluation diagnostique. After some introductory activities and warm up, students completed a diagnostic assessment from which it will be determined what we review and where we start in terms of new material. Ca me réjouit that students were comfortable in demonstrating and sharing what they knew. What a respectful, and happy group!! =) Way to go, class! Looking forward to a great year!
FSF 3U / 4U -
We talked about differences between English expressions and French expressions and recognized how similar they are. We interpreted quelques proverbes et expressions en français. Grade 12s were assigned their presentations of proverbs. We gave values to our oral marks we will receive for them. We also started some diagnostic assessments by listening to this story;
Juliette et son chien - Tapis Volant au passé compose
Great week so far, everyone!! I hope you are all settling in nicely!
