​French 6:  Today, students practiced listening comprehension to help prepare for the final exam.  They also practiced commands and question words.

Homework:  Tomorrow I will ask in class: 

What is the is the difference between Comment es-tu? and Comment vas-tu?  Here is the answer:

"Comment es-tu?" asks you to describe yourself (What are you like?).  A good answer would be "Je suis grand(e), brun(e), et sympa.

"Comment vas-tu?" means "How are you doing?"   A good answer would be "Bien" or "Mal."

My hero and inspiration,
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

 
January 15, 1929 - April 4, 1968




"Make a career of humanity. Commit yourself to the noble struggle for equal rights. You will make a greater person of yourself, a greater nation of your country, and a finer world to live in."    - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
“Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve. You don’t have to know about Plato and Aristotle to serve. You don’t have to know Einstein’s “Theory of Relativity” to serve. You don’t have to know the Second Theory of Thermal Dynamics in Physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love.”   - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
