French Club:  There is a French Club meeting on Friday.  Bring ideas for the tee-shirt design contest.

French 6:  We had a unit exam today.  Students who didn't do the speaking today will do it on Thursday.

Homework:  Be sure to charge your surface!  Tomorrow we will start to learn how to say the objects in the classroom.   It would be a good idea to look these over HERE. ​Listen to how you say them. Play match to get yourself acquainted with the words.

Want to get a bigger head start?  This will not be due until Monday, but you can start early:  Do Spell to 100% on the objects in the classroom!  If it is done by Thursday night, you will get the 10-point bonus.  Be sure you are typing in French.  I am re-posting the video of how to have a vocabulary tab open while you work.

THERE IS A UNIT TEST ON TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25.  French Club is this Friday.

French 6:  Today I checked review guides and we played a review game. The answers to the review guide are HERE.  

Homework:  Study for tomorrow's unit test.  Here are some things to keep in mind:

You will have to be able to SPELL (in French) everything but the commands.
You will have to be able to say aloud a list of numbers.
You will have a listening section where you will have to understand commands, numbers, letters, and French questions.

​Begin to study for next week's test.  I have prepared an entire page of review for you HERE.  There is a practice test, listening, Quizlet, etc...

There is also a REVIEW GUIDE that I am going to hand out in class this week.  We will lose some time with device deployment, so be sure to start studying now.

NOTE:  There will be a UNIT TEST ON ALL MATERIAL SO FAR ON TUESDAY, 9/26.  I will give out a review guide this week as well as Quizlet flashcards.

French 6: Today, we practiced the numbers from 11-20 which can be found on the NUMBER PAGE and we began our practice of 20-60.  Students counted backwards, forwards, by twos, etc...

Students learned:  10/dix - 20/vingt -  30/trente - 40/quarante - 50/cinquante -  60/soixante.  To add a one, they add "et un" and to add 2 -9, they add a dash and the number.

Examples:  51 = cinquante et un   / 34 = trente-quatre

We began a two-sided practice for 0-69  Anything not finished is for homework  The answers are HERE.

HW:  Finish the number worksheet above.  Study for tomorrow's quiz on 0-20.  Zero = zéro

Suggested practice for quiz:

Log onto using your new Quizlet ID, and find your class on the left.  If you click on it, you will see some sets in there.  Practice 0-20.  I recommend doing Spell, Write, or Gravity - be sure you are typing in the French.

French 6: Today, we practiced the numbers from 0 - 20, which can be found on the NUMBER PAGE.  We did a two-sided practice with NUMBERS AND MATH.  Anything not finished is for homework  The answers to the last two math problems are "quatre" and "trois."

Students walked around the room and counted all kinds of things, forwards, backwards, by twos, etc...

HW:  Finish the number worksheet above.  Try walking around and counting random things.

Speaking and writing assessment on Tuesday.

Optional extra credit homework:

Log onto using your new Quizlet ID, and find your class on the left.  If you click on it, you will see some sets in there.  Here's how you get extra credit:

Click on the Numbers from 11-22  After reviewing the numbers any way you like (learn/match/flashcards), click on SPELL.  Make sure your options (bottom left corner)  are set to "Answer with  French."  Play until your progress bar reads 100%.  This will take several rounds.  You can have the program keep saying the number for you by clicking on the microphone icon.  Extra points = +5 this time.  You can do this for +5 extra even if you already got +10!

For students who know 0-20,, feel free to go ahead and try 0-30 or 0-69.  No extra credit, but you'll be getting ahead!

  French 6: We had an alphabet speaking/listening assessment today, and students also wrote out the numbers from one to ten, which can be found on the NUMBER PAGE.

I gave students Quizlet logins today.  Your password is your lunch number/ student ID.  You can change your avatar (picture icon) but you should not change you passwords or any other setting.  Once everyone has a surface, most homework will be on Quizlet.

HW:  If possible, be sure you know numbers one through ten by tomorrow.

Optional extra credit homework:  

Log onto using your new Quizlet ID, and find your class on the left.  If you click on it, you will see some sets in there.  Here's how you get extra credit:

​- Click on Numbers 0-10.  After reviewing the numbers any way you like (learn/match/flashcards), click on SPELL.  Make sure your options (bottom left corner)  are set to "Answer with  French."  Play until your progress bar reads 100%.  This will take several rounds.  You can have the program keep saying the number for you by clicking on the microphone icon.  Extra points = +10 (three of these would make up for a late homework)

If you want MORE extra credit, you can do the same thing for the Numbers from 11-22.  You can do one, both, or none.  You must do this TONIGHT to get the extra credit.  Tomorrow morning is too late.

French Club:  French Club meets on Friday at 8:00.  Come join us.  Become a MEMBER!

French 6: Today, we started to learn the alphabet.  We watched the videos that can be found on the ALPHABET PAGE.   Also, I showed students how to listen and practice the alphabet on Quizlet.  They can just click on the letters or they can play spell.  Set it to hear in French and then type what you hear. 

Homework:  Practice the alphabet by listening online  There is a speaking assessment on Tuesday of next week.  There may be a treat for some of those who know the whole alphabet.

French Club:  We will meet at 8:00 in D743. Membership form is attached.

French 6:  Today, students did a speaking assessment with the lab and also redid some listening practice.  The idea was to see who went back and studied!

After the assessment, students learned about COGNATES.  A cognate is a word that is similar or the same in more than one language.  

Homework:  Please complete the COGNATE HOMEWORK.  One the first side, you have to check the cognates you know.  On the back, you have to guess the English meanings.  Then answer the questions about your "French dream" and things you would like to know how to say.  I will collect these tomorrow.
