Bonjour!

NEWS FROM THE FRENCH CORNER

Grade 6 started the morning by receiving their past quiz and assignments back. For the most part, the students demonstrated that they studied and reviewed the units components. They also had time to complete a questionnaire on the vocabulary. They also found out how to make maple syrup the way it used to be done by researching it in their textbook.

Grade 7 completed a read and comprehension module. There four stories about well known fast-food restaurant chains. Then, the students were divided into 2 groups and played a lively round of connect-four verb game. Today, the girls won.

Grade 8 presented their Web/Facebook about themselves and a service they offered to the public. They demonstrated a lot of creativity and each had an interesting service that reflected their personal interest. This was followed by a class discussion on how powerful the Internet can be and whether the information put out reaches only the targeted audience or unwanted viewers.

Grade 9 read 'La poursuite', chapter 3, and researched the vocabulary from the selection. They have the comprehension segment to complete for homework, due Thursday, Oct. 8.

Grade 10/11 continued their lesson with L'imparfait and plus- que- parfait. It took quite some time to get through this lesson, but for the most part, they were able to establlish the rule of grammar. Well done!

Grade 12 There was some hard work and research done to decipher the subjonctif present. Le Figaro offers an excellent site for irregular verbs. These verbs are best when memorized as their stems may vary. But it is all worth it in the end.
