Activity 2: Listening comprehension for workbook, lesson 3
Activity 3:
Today we will be watching a video that introduces one of my favorite French learning tools, a series of videos that teach students the language through immersion.
French in Action Introduction
Body language and intonation
oh-là-là! (=oh, man!/oh, wow!) The intonation is similar to the Awkward Voldemort Laugh
As you watch the video, try to learn the words that are briefly taught. They don't give enough time for you to thoroughly learn them, but you might be surprised at how much you learn if you really pay attention and write what you hear. If you learn 5 new words, that's good progress for a day.
Take out a sheet of paper. I want you to write down as many words as you can.
You will have to use your own set of phonetics for most of the words. You could write "bonjour" as bone joor, for example, or "comment t'appelles-tu" as "ko mah ta pell too"--you get the picture.
At the end of the period you will hand in your paper for 5 points.
HOMEWORK: Memorize the spelling and gender (masculine/feminine) of the first 17 flashcards from Lesson 3. You were already supposed to learn most of them over the weekend, so don't complain too much!
Quizlet--leçon 3
5 point quiz tomorrow! If you don't have Internet access tonight, just study from the book.

2. Read your letter to your group
ASSIGNMENT:
Write a letter to someone (see page 10 to find a name)
1. Start by saying hello + name
2. Introduce yourself, tell them your name, where you're from and nationality.
3. Tell them how old you are and
4. Tell two things you like to do (page 74) "J'aime parler français avec (with) mon copain"
or "J'aime nager et j'aime danser." That kind of thing. You may choose other verbs.
5. Introduce at least three members of your family and tell where at least one of them is from
(a grandparent or some other person who lives somewhere else)
Do it like this: "J'ai un frère." (I have a brother).
6.Tell how old these four family members are and describe all of them. At a minimum you need to say "Il est un bon oncle"--things like that. For the most part, though, describe them using words from page 165. These words are cognates and very easy to learn ("amusante," "intelligent," etc.)
-Introduce your pet and describe it. You may use words from page 165 for this part, too.
Ask your penpal about him or herself. Ask questions about the same things you have said about you and your family. Write at least four sentences.
"Tu as un frère?" (Do you have a brother?)
"Quel âge a ton père?"
"Ta grand-mère aime nager?" Remember: J'aime, Tu aimes, il aime
End the letter by saying "au revoir" or "amitiés," if you want to get fancy
