FSF 1P - Aujourd'hui, we sequenced actions and described what happened in French, using the passé composé. We acted out actions and watched and recorded who did what activity to win some popsicles. We played a game (les filles contre les garçons) to review.  Click here to play the game for review. Can you now play it on your own?  <-- b="" for="" homework="" try="">  We then discovered how to talk about things we didn't do, and students wrote five actions they did not do from our game. They are getting the hang of things so quickly!! Bravo!! 
For homework: Click here and listen to the coversation - read along. What happened that made it a weekend formidable?!?
Students are being encouraged to check the blog for review practice in order to succeed on their final summative activity.  They know the topics and what they will do. Students will know even more about it tomorrow. 

FSF 1D - ME TE SE NOUS VOUS SE CHANT!!!! Do you remember what these mean in English now? When do we use them? To what pronoun do they belong (je, tu, il, elle, nous, vous, ils, elles)? Students should be able to answer these questions after our activities today. They are building vocab that will help them describe their daily routines. Not only did we play Simon dit to reinforce these actions, we completed two written activities. 

FEF 1D - Nous avons continué avec nos critiques. Students are encouraged to proofread at home and tomorrow is the last day they will be accepted (rough copies and good copies). Students will have a choice to use lab time tomorrow to complete, and are expected to keep up with the lab work that they have tomorrow. Everyone is almost finished, and has done well applying everything we have learned from this semester so far in their film critique. Lab day demain!!

FSF 1P - Today we compared how we say things that describe what we are doing, to describing what we did. Students learned how to describe what we cooked, added and mixed in class today and orally described some things that happened. We completed a fill in the blanks note about this past tense (le passe compose) and we completed a matching activity. We can read sentences and match them up with photos, we can create and write simple sentences into passe compose (check out our 'chalk graffiti outside) and we played a kahoot activity that helped us review how it all works en francais. Well done!!!

FSF 1D - Today we finished our film Le Petit Nicolas and we worked on our speaking exam questions. Be prepared to move tomorrow!!! 

FEF 1D - Aujourd'hui nous avons résumé les concepts importants d'un critique. Nous avons créé des exemples dans laquelle on peut employer tous ce que nous avons appris dans le cours. This critique is being written in class and is an example of how our written exam will work as well. Students are strongly encouraged to use their notes in order to apply all concepts learned this year so far in their written work. We summarized our activity on Friday, and will continue with our Francophonie unit starting Wednesday. 

Bonne journée!

FEF 1D - Nous avons commence notre unite de la francophonie. We now know more about the European Francophone countries; Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Morocco and Switzerland. We deciphered geographical information sheets on these countries and became Ambassadeurs for one of these countries.

Nous avons bien parle et explique!! Lundi, we will talk more about these expressions, and we will begin our critiques before we venture more into La Francophonie. Excellent work, tout le monde!

le 19 mai - c'est presque le weekend!

FSF 1P -  Today, students played a quick into game where were matched up popular French foods to know what they are called en français. We then listened to and idenfied foods in this song (TFO Flip - Je suis végétarien parodie and talked about the struggles of the singer being a vegetarian. 
The students then read statements that compared coffees Mme likes and ice cream shoppes. We now know and can use and apply bon et meilleur properly in written, orally and aurally. Students in pairs chose a category given to compare things that are good, better and better than, and best. Some students are already starting to structure sentences in different order - the food at McDo is good \ McDo has good food. Great work! 

FSF 1D -  Final presentations today! We now know and have compared different francophone countries including Madagascar, New Caledonia, and Burundi. Great work. Listening charts are in, and students had the opportunity to complete additional work for marks, as well as start brainstorming for what they will write on their carte postale, based on what they learned from their research. CARTE POSTALE ACTIVITY FOR MARKS ON TUESDAY!!! 

FEF 1D -  Nous avons appris les expressions "Avoir les deux pieds dans la même bottine" et Etre coiffé comme le dessous de bras". Good work on the presentations. We then analysed qui, que et dont in English and French and students can confidently apply it in written form. They are able to create their own sentences out of ideas for phrases and can explain the significance of the pronouns. We know DONT and saw some uses of OU today as well.  Here is one activity we did that you can try at home for practice.   THERE WILL BE A MINI QUIZ ON QUI QUE and DONT tomorrow.
