NEWS FROM THE FRENCH CORNER

Bravo, c'est vendredi!

Grade 6 did really well with their homework from yesterday. The students also worked on sounds that are not always easy to pronounce. So we did what I call gymnastics for the mouth. They had fun repeating words with those sounds.
They also wrote sentences containing words with the sounds. Good job, almost everyone was done on time or had the rest of a page to finish for homework.

Grade 7 students continued to work on verb tenses. played a game of connect four to practice. I must say it was exciting and a bit noisy but they had fun and agreed that it was easier to learn.
After some of this action, the students were ready to settle down to a listening and writing activity. They listen to the text 3 times and filled in the blanks with the vocabulary.
Most of the students were able to finish or almost finish their homework on l'impératif and regular and irregular verbs in the present tense.

Grade 8 Today, we started with a presentation about 'myself', from all the students. Everyone did a fantastic job and it was great to know each and everyone in more details.
The students listened to a reading of 'Une journée à mon goût'. They had to extract from the text all the pronominal verbs (reflexive). 
Homework due on Tuesday is p.13,14,19,21

Grade 9 participated to the Grade 10/11 lesson on le participe présent and its formation. This is a concept that they are encountering in all their reading, so it was appropriate for them in order to recognize these verbs in the various selections of texts.
Then, they worked on their comprehension components which will have to be completed for homework due Tuesday. (page 9)

Grade 10/11/12 The lesson today was how to form the participe présent. The students worked in small groups. This lesson will continue on Tuesday for further practice. Homework; complete the practice sheet for Tuesday and review in the textbook page 197-198.
