FSF 2D - Aujourd'hui, nous avons identifié des phrases au futur, présent, et au passé. We talked about what we hear to verify the time that the actions are happening. We created a list of key words that help. We discussed and analysed the song from vendredi (great work on your shared ideas on your exit cards), and we scanned an article about Cyclone Pam à Vanuatu for the important information to answer qui, que (qu'est-ce que), où, quand, pourquoi, comment et combien de . We then watched the video, did a class Venn to describe imparfait et passé compose of actions we saw and heard described. Students are doing an excellent job applying what they have learned. Be sure to complete the Imparfait sheet (up to and including if you want the Boucles d'or activity).

FSF 1D - Our first big assignment! Students have been creating an arbre genealogique (fictional or non fictional). Those who were completed at the end of class, handed their work in. Those who are completing it over the weekend can email scan or photo scan to mmejbell@gmail.com, or can slide their work under my door Monday morning. It was nice to see students using their time well and being resourceful with their notes. Bravo!

FSF 3U / FSF 4U - Une journee au labo! Lab day! Be sure to check elearning for details.  A list of questions rehearsed in class will be posted on Sunday.

Bonjour!!!  Great day, everyone! Merci pour la participation!

FSF 2D -  we completed a listening activity on Vietnam, and we continued our Imparfait / Passé composé en groupe. Nice work, everyone and felicitations to our winners- great cooperation en français! Don't forget that tomorrow is a lab day, et vous avez besoin vos écouteurs.

FSF 1D -  Today, students listened to and drew / wrote a family tree about a fictional character that they heard. We recapped our activity from yesterday. They also became aware with different actions that students like / dislike doing by completing a move-up match activity, and a quick listing activity on action words/ activities. Tomorrow we will be completing a family tree task in class. Students have been encouraged to think about and plan at home what they may describe.

FSF 3U / FSF 4U - Today, we took up our vocab questions, we completed an assessment on skills and behaviours that are useful in work environments en français, and we practiced interview questions en français. Those questions will be on elearning tomorrow. We also have a lab day tomorrow so please bring your écouteurs!!

Have a nice night! Bonne nuit!

FSF 2D - Aujourd'hui, nous avons écouté et discuté  notre jeunesse. We played telephone by practicing describing our childhood. Quand j'étais jeune, je pleurais beaucoup. In a friendly competition, we completed an activity matching up things one used to do. Click here to see the activity.   We took up homework and also starting working on descriptions of the past and what the differences are. HOW ACCRO are you? We saw an example of our French phrases presentation today as well. Students did a great job listening to a dialogue in French and figuring out what the term 'accro' means. They will present one of their own this semester. Click the links to see photos to remind you.   Don't forget those helpful words that will remind / give context to completed actions!
  accro de portables - you know who you are - tu sais qui tu es!!! - ☺   ACCRO!!!!!!!!!

FSF 1D - Today, we had our homework checked. Most were completed the sheet and can identify people to their personality traits. Our goal was to read some explanations of family members and to create a good gift list for those family members based on what we read. Students first completed a speaking activity describing people, we watched a video and distinguished which likes and dislikes belonged to Dana, as well as which adjectives described her and her ideal friend.  Video link here: Bonjour, je m'appelle Dana.  Today, students met their goal by creating thoughtful lists. They are prepared now to create a Family tree that will describe what people like to do, are, and have.
Family tree will be due September 25 at the end of class.

FSF 3U / FSF 4U -  Students today completed an enquête, and a sondage. We described the majorité of answers of possible future predictions. Students have been working on pronunciation and rephrasing, as well as vocabulary in preparation for our monde du travail CV, interview and discussion. We completed our annonces (they will start demain!) and students received their journals with feedback. There will be a listening activity on Friday.

FSF 2D -  Nous avons discuté les activités d'hier. Students were encouraged to reflect on what they were doing when they heard K make un gros bruit. We started our written introduction of L'imparfait and there is a helpful handout (do ex A pour les devoirs, s'il vous plait!). We also created our own chart to apply the three steps we learned, and we played kahoot!!

Song tomorrow for sure. =)

FSF 1D - Students today conducted surveys en français asking what others have / are. We are applying what we know about adjectives and using AVOIR and ETRE in preparation for our new concepts. Students spoke French by asking questions and learning how to respond (affirmatively and negatively). We are talking about strategies that help us understand the context of sentences as well in case we aren't confident about what every single word means (when we talked about our self-assessment quiz yesterday). We are speaking more and more and I appreciate your participation. Students also had an activity to complete about adjectives - listing who they knew that conveyed that description words and whether they are like that or not. Je suis aventureuse / Je ne suis pas aventureux.

Here are some links of games to help;

Les adjectifs - Rags to Riches - read the instructions carefully. Do you recognize what these adjectives mean en français?
Avoir - Faites les associations! Match these too!!
Etre - Etre - pouvez-vous relier? Can you match?
To rehearse and practice for later  (plus tard)  - How many action words are already a part of your vocabulary!?

FSF 3U / FSF 4U
  Students were given a list of vocabulary pour le monde du travail to help enhance what words they have already learned. They completed a reading activity based on this vocab, to help apply les nouveaux mots! Students also worked on les annonces.
Pour le revision -  Future simple

Bonjour encore!

FSF 2D-   We are moving ahead with our experiences au passé! Students can now describe actions that happened from personal events and describe using c'était with an adjective. They can listening and identify responses from other students as well. We read intros from recognizable stories using c'était et il y avait and identified the titles of these stories based on what we read. We completed an intro activity on l'imparfait (was happening). Students are listening and paraphrasing well en français and I appreciate your enthusiasm and participation with our activity. I am glad no one was shocked too much by our GRANDE interruption!  =) We watched and discussed a video qui était à propos du Vietnam, aussi.  Tomorrow, une chanson!!!

FSF 1D - We completed our speaking activities. Students completed a self-assessment on AVOIR and ETRE based on our blog homework from the weekend. Be sure to always check the blog and be thorough when Mme suggests!!! We listened to a dialogue that was an interview and put the phrases we heard in order. We started identifying words that describe people by sharing ideas with camarades and we also had draws for our first billets / bonbons!!!

FSF 3U / 4U - We started les annonces, we watched and learned and completed an activity on le Cambodge and compared it to notre monde du travail and we analysed a tableau avec les emplois le plus payants. We also took a look at les publicités pour les travailleurs à Québec. Tomorrow we will start our last bit of review, and piece it all together to prepare ourselves for our monde du travail dramatization!

Good start to the week, tout le monde!

le 18 septembre - bon weekend!

FSF 2D - We completed our first listening activity for marks (choix multiple, open questions, et un peu de metacognition!). Students demonstrated they are very capable of making connections in a story and conveyed a very strong understanding of what happened in that story. Well done et félicitations in completing your first task for marks! Be sure you read your pink sheet that was given out jeudi. ☺

FSF 1D - We had our first day in the lab and know what the expectations are when we have lab days. Students completed their speaking tasks with me one-on-one well, and listened to a dialogue between two classmates and answered questions in various forms. Helpful hint: always be sure to read Mme's helpful hints and to read instructions carefully! It is a successful work habit!

Here are two activities that will help us for our task on Monday:
