NOTE: There is a speaking assessment on Tuesday.  Please prepare.

French 6:  Today students took a quiz on COMMANDS and GOODBYES.  If you didn't know these well, please go back and study.

Students learned how to use the lab today.  We practiced for Tuesday's speaking assessment.

Homework:  Practice pronunciation of:  Greetings / Names / How are yous / Goodbyes.

For Tuesday, you will have to do the following:
1.  Say either Hello/Hi/Good evening (I will give you a choice of two)
2.  State you name and ask "What's your name?"
3.  Say one of the goodbyes (I will give you a choice of three).

For extra credit, you will be able to say, "Nice to meet you" in French.
You can study on Quizlet HERE for greetings and HERE for goodbyes.

And for your French enjoyment:

NOTE:  Students were allowed to redo the first quiz of the year. If you wanted to redo the quiz and didn't come, please talk to me/have a parent email me.  

French 6:  Today, we practiced ways to say goodbye and went over the commands again.  This information can all be found HERE.  We practiced writing these things HERE.

Students need to be able to spell all the goodbyes on the INTRODUCTION NOTES.  We played a game with commands and wrote short dialogues.

Homework:  Study goodbyes and commands.  There is a quiz tomorrow.  You must be able to spell the goodbyes and understand the commands (no spelling on commands).  You can practice the goodbye words on Quizlet HERE and the command words HERE.  I recommend "spell" and "write" for the goodbye words and "matching" or "test" for the commands.

​And for your French happiness...

French 6:  Today in class, students learned some study techniques.  The first is called, "Think, Look, Write."  I encourage students to think about each word we are studying before writing it down, then checking the answer, and then writing it.  The review guide to help them with this is HERE.  Students who complete this correctly will get one bonus point on their quizzes, but it is not required. Students also learned about studying by avoiding the distractions of words they already know.  They make a list of only the words they need to study.  The paper for trying this is HERE.  

Homework: 1. Study for the quiz.  
2. Get your French Quizlet slip signed to be in the TOMBOLA tomorrow.  You are not signing up Quizlet.  You are just getting the slip signed.
