French 6:  Today, I went over the details of the French-Speaking World project.  

Students worked on the country/region RESEARCH by using the French-Speaking World, Five Countries, and The Project page.  The project page has links to websites that are useful for the research.  Students will also have to find out WHERE A VARIETY OF COUNTRIES ARE LOCATED.

Students have a paper copy of the project information.  Once students have chosen a project, they need to get the sheet signed by a parent.  It was due today but I said I would also take it tomorrow.

Homework:  Talk over the project (above) with a parent and get your project sheet signed.  It is due.  If you are ready to turn in your "link," you can go to the Food Page, the Collage Page, the Song Page, or the Painting Page.

Students who wish to work on research at home to share with the group tomorrow may do so.

French 6:  Today, we went over the WHY TAKE FRENCH article, and students wrote their FAVORITE REASONS.

Students received their RESEARCH groups and found out what country they will be researching.

There are three webpages for this unit:  The French-Speaking World, Five Countries, and The Project page.  

I also handed out project information.  Once students have chosen a project, they need to get the sheet signed by a parent.  It is due tomorrow, but I will take it Friday if students need more time to decide.

Homework:  Talk over the project (above) with a parent and get your project sheet signed.

Welcome Back!

French 6:  In period 1, we had to do a schoolwide password reset.  This took most of the period.  I am posting the presentation we were given in case any students didn't complete the password reset.  It is HERE.

Today, we began our new unit about the French-speaking World, or Le Monde Francophone.  We talked about all the reasons for taking French, and I gave students an article explaining all the benefits of being a French speaker. Students highlighted their favorites and we discussed them as a group.

For students who want to check out information about the French-Speaking World, click HERE.

Homework:  Tomorrow is a field trip!  First period students, please look over the packet and highlight (or star) one or two reasons per section that make you say YES - this is a great reason to take French!

Everyone else, see you Wednesday!

French 6:  Today, we reviewed the days of the week in French.  We learned a song and practiced some dialogues.  We learned how to say, "one day..."   For example:  Un jour, je veux aller en France!

After break, we will begin a project on the French-speaking world.  Start thinking about what type of project you'd like to do: cooking, painting, singing, a poster (need to be able to print).

French 6:  Students had all period to day to work on their review guides for next week's unit test.

I gave out a paper copy of the review guide for all the terms on the unit test.  There are 206 terms, but many are repeats and many are words the student know very well (colors, family members, etc...)

Students went over the review guides and covered the French words.  For words they didn't know, they highlighted them on a paper copy.  For words they knew but misspelled in their heads, they "starred" them.  They then took this information and created a personalized review guide by STARRING the flash cards on THIS PERSONALISED VERSION OF THE REVIEW GUIDE.

Homework:  Use your  paper REVIEW GUIDE to create a starred version of your own THIS PERSONALISED VERSION OF THE REVIEW GUIDE.. Then practice these until you know them really well.  Use SPELL, LEARN, or WRITE.

OPTIONAL BONUS:  You can do SPELL for the entire online QUIZLET REVIEW GUIDE FOR UNIT 2.
If you complete this by SUNDAY NIGHT, you will get 120 points on a HW assignment.

French 6:  Today in class, students took a quiz on colors.​ 

We began to talk about review.  There is an electronic copy of the review guide for all the terms on the unit test.  There are 206 terms, but many are repeats and many are words the student know very well (colors, family members, etc...)

We had a some computer issues in class, so Period 1 had a different lesson than Periods 2 and 3.

In Period 1, students used Quizlet to pick out the vocab words they know and don't know to create a personalized study guide.  For students who did this, don't worry about completing it.  You can either take a look at the Period 2 and 3 work, or you can wait until tomorrow.

In periods 2 and 3, students went over the review guides and covered the French words.  For words they didn't know, they highlighted them on a paper copy.  For words they knew but misspelled in their heads, they "starred" them.  They can then take this information and created a personalized review guide by STARRING the flash cards on THIS PERSONALISED VERSION OF THE REVIEW GUIDE.

Homework:  If you want to finish starring and highlighting your REVIEW GUIDE on paper, you can do this at home.  This will give your more time in class.  If not, you will do it tomorrow..

OPTIONAL BONUS:  You can do SPELL for the entire online QUIZLET REVIEW GUIDE FOR UNIT 2.

My French 6: Students practiced how to talk about name and age of family members today.  They learned how to ask, "Do you know my...?"  This is "Tu connais mon/ma,,,?  They answered, "Oui, je connais ton/ta..." or "Non, je ne connais pas ton/ta..."

We learned some fun description words:  grand(e)/petit(e)/brun(e)/blond(e)/sympa/pénible/ beau/belle.
