vendredi le 21 octobre

FSF 2D - Today, students recorded their rough copies of their reportages, and they have feedback already that they can access through their dropbox submission on D2L. Monday they will record their reportages for marks, and will be starting a new concept (some have already started this week by going through the activities on their newsfeed on D2L).  

FSF 1D - We read pre-made profiles aloud today, recorded them, and our afternoon class completed their speed dating activity. Students were able to listen to descriptions read by their peers, identify who they were describing (someone famous) and give proof as to how they knew who was being described.  There are activities on elearning to do for homework (practice le verbe aller) . Our next unit - le cinéma!!! There are reading and listening activities to start assessing what you already know and can do. Students from period 2 will complete the listening activity later next week.

BON WEEKEND!

mercredi le 19 octobre

FSF 2D - Today students were given a checklist to make sure they are where they need to be by the end of the week. They know what photo they will be reporting on, and have been preparing for many things. Check out elearning and D2L to see the details. 


FSF 1D - We rehearsed for our first major writing task today. Students know exactly what to expect, as well as the requirements for the activity. 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 ***

   ** (de ma grandmère): Son mari est Doug, mon grandpère. 

*** Ma soeur n'est pas gentille tout le temps. Elle est gentille de temps en temps.

mardi, le 18 octobre - Allez Jays!!!!!

FSF 2D - 

  Today, we continued with our mini-lessons on the objets directs - le, la and les -  that represent IT and THEM in English. As students work with Mme in small groups, they are to apply what they have learned (and use their reference notes and what is on elearning) to complete some sentences on the sheet. 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 students completed their speaking tasks, a film and an activity based on our film Le Petit Nicolas. Students from period 3 also created their speed dating list, chose one character from that list they will portray and wrote 5 adjectives about them to get them started. Tomorrow is our rehearsal day for our first big writing task, and also time to create our 'Speed Dating Profile'. Students will demonstrate that they can listen to one another speak, and then write down who that person is acting as, with proof that supports their decision.  Want to practice Vouloir Etre Avoir and Pouvoir to strengthen your knowledge of these for your Arbre Généologique (happening Thursday?)
