Aujourd'hui:
Les petits tableaux blancs (little white boards)
les pages 32, 35, 37
C'est un bon weekend?
Regardez le DVD leçon 3 C

DUE THUR/FRI 15 POINTS
HOMEWORK:
1. Memorize the spelling and definitions of all phrases on page 31
2. Memorize the spelling and definitions of all vocabulary on page 35.
3. Memorize the phrases on page 37 (spelling, too!)
HINT: Many people are incorrectly translating the following:
My mother is forty-three years old. In French you say, "My mother has 43 years."
Ma mère a quarante-trois ans.
HOMEWORK 2: Monday, October 24th you have to know the following:
Classroom survival phrases--Quizlet (weeks 6,7) Be able to translate all into English.
Quizlet--leçon 2
4. Do Cahier, pages (we will do this later (plus tard) Note: like the word "tardy"
5. Bring 3 photos of family members, friends, or pets (only 3 total, not 9)
6. Write sentences to share with the class telling us who they are, how old they are, and what they're like (an adjective from page 165).
  • Voici mon/ma __(what they are--uncle, cat, etc.)_
  • Il/elle s'appelle __(_name_)
  • Il/elle a _______ ans (write out the number of age) Use the age in the photo
  • Il/elle est _____________ (pick adjective from page 165)
  • CHALLENGE: add words and phrases that we have learned to make your sentences more expressive and conversational. You know words like "very" and "uh. . . ," for example. "A" students do at least a bit of the challenge because their focus and interest in the language just helps them learn it better, which helps on exams, obviously. Also, they receive more participation points:)
  • If you feel so inclined, you may tell me what they are wearing. This is absolutely optional since we don't learn it until next semester for some strange reason. To do this, turn to page 260 and follow the model. Colors are found on page 41, if that interests you.
          Example:
Voici mon père.
Il s'appelle Dallas
Il a cinquante-sept ans
Il est intelligent et très amusant
Il porte un tee-shirt blanc.
