Activity 1: Review flash cards for leçon 3
Quizlet--leçon 3

Activity 2:
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

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!

Others to consider and master at your own pace:
Classroom directions--Quizlet
This is the best deck because 1. It has pictures and 2. The phrases are very important. I will be using these phrases to conduct class the second 6 weeks :^ }
