L'ETE EST ARRIVE! l'été est arrivé/Summer is here!
Be sure to keep up on your French. The best thing that you can do is to find a French-speaking penpal. Regardez la feuille que M. Zenk a préparé pour vous. Il y a beaucoup d'idées là.
One of my favorite ways to learn French is to watch movies. You already have handouts from me that give movie recommendations as well as recommendations for other listening, writing, reading, and speaking opportunities. Here's my current favorite movie/tv show (Merci Oksana!)
Chef's Table: France on Netflix. It is in French with English subtitles.
What a fabulous way to learn French as well as French culture. The episodes are narrated by Alain Passard, the chef of l'Arpège in Paris, one of the most famous restaurants in the world. In the show he shares his philosophy of food, cooking, and life. It's very French, and it's a French set of values that started to be adopted by many Americans just a bit before you were born (the farm to table concept, for example). Enjoy! Bon appétit!
During the summer you don't have to just do book learning, you know.
Study cooking vocabulary and phrases,
Study travel vocabulary and phrases,
Study cool slang vocabulary and phrases,

4. L'EXAMEN FINAL: COMPREHENSIF, UNITES 1-6
Although the final exam is comprehensive, it will be curved down significantly since we will not have not enough time to finish the last three lessons (M. Zenk's classes are in the same boat). There are a number of essential concepts from lessons 18-20 that you must know, however. Here they are:
NOTE ON EXTRA CREDIT:
I give extra credit according to this basic rule of thumb:
Common work is a "C" 6/10 probably
Beyond common work is a "B" 8/10
Above beyond work is an "A" 10/10 and sometimes 12 or 13 if you go nuts
Credit supplementaire 5-10 E.C. Added to Unité 6 Final Exam
1. Cook a French recipe and take pictures (10 points, usually)
a. Find a French recipe (cookbook, Internet, family recipes, etc.)
b. Cook the recipe
c. Take pictures of yourself cooking AND the final product.
d. Type a list of 10 cooking vocabulary words and definitions. It would be neat if you were to find a recipe written in French and translate it.
In the past students have gone bonkers with this assignment and filmed themselves as if they were doing a cooking show. I've even been known to give a bit more than 10 points for groups who dress up and all. Have fun!
2. Watch a French film with English subtitles (5 points, usually)
a. Watch the movie and have a parent or guardian sign a note saying that you watched it.
b. As you watch the movie, make a list of 30 English words from the movie that you think would be good to know in French.
