Thursday/Jeudi


AUJOURD'HUI

1.  Workbook, pages 67, 68--due today. We will study etre in detail at the end of the period and next time.
2. The quiz last time revealed that we need to do some serious work--concentrated work. Most of you need to go to after school tutoring, or come in here for help from me on Tuesdays or Thursdays.

Written exercises for all students except the five who did well on the quiz last time. Those five students may write a skit in the hall.
Write the following exercises and turn in. 10 points
Ex 97:6 #1-8 (Write the entire sentence. 16 short sentences total)
Ex. 99:11 #1-8 (Write the entire sentence. 16 short sentences total)
NEXT TIME Ex. (101:14 #1-9 (Write the entire sentence. 9 short sentences total)
NEXT TIME (Write all sentences in the middle of page 101 but substitute in different verbs)
2. White boards
3. Page 89 "mots utiles" (useful conjunctions and prepositions)
4. Contest: In groups of 2-3, write as long of sentences as you can using these connecting words and verbs. Remember, verbs can be in the affirmative (things people do), in the negative (things people do not do) or used with the infinitive in sentences like "I like to study" (see page 101).
Example: "Marie joue au tennis avec son amie Paul mais elle ne joue pas avec sa soeur Michelle.

VERY USEFUL RESOURCES
Download the following apps on your phone or go to the websites! We will do this in the computer lab quite soon when you create your own Blog, but some of you might want to get started, now
Word Reference is the best dictionary app and is the one I want you to use. I love it! Je l'adore!
Here's an example for the word "annoy": Word Reference, annoy Now you have 10 words to use to
     describe your siblings ;^)
Coffee Break French. I think that this is the most effective resource to use to quickly learn French.
     There's a free version under a tab, so don't feel like you have to pay the $100 for the full edition.
Duolingo is an awesome way to learn a language! It's very user-friendly, fun, and addictive
French in Action was the ground-breaking immersion method used years ago. It's still fantastic.
Fais la cuisine/Do cooking in French with French recipes (English translation available)
Learn French Through Cooking
French in Action, episodes 2-3
French in Action, episodes 4-8
Find a French song, then get the English lyrics for the song at the following site:
Lyricstranslate.com
Then, while looking at the French lyrics, watch and listen to the French video at the lyricstraining site
and try to type in the French words that are left out. At the beginner level, about one in 12 words is a blank space showing the number of letters, like in Wheel of Fortune. Type as fast as you can!
This is a bit difficult even in English! In French, it's very difficult (for me, too!), but I'll bet you'll be happy to see that with practice you get pretty good at it.
