Aujoud'hui, les étudiants ont fait...

NEWS FROM THE FRENCH CORNER

Grade 6 the students took up the homework corrections and for the most part it was very well done. Then, they read about different films, how to rate them by using the correct terminology.
for homework, please think of a title for your movie and what it is about for our work on Thursday.

Grade 7 are still on the verb unit but they are becoming more comfortable with multiple subjects. Good work!
Today, they also received their rubric for la tâche finale. Most of the work will be done in class but for ...
homework: bring in your ideas for your casse-croûte. 

Grade 8  The reach ahead programme requires our students to step up out of their comfort zone and demonstrate a bit of independence. Today, we followed up with a reading of a dream about the worst day. Last week we had discussed the ideal day. They went over reflexive verbs once more and now they have a choice to describe their best/worst day ever!
Homework is to describe their day in 8-10 sentences using at least 5 reflexive verbs. This is due on Thursday when they will share with the class.

Grade 10 worked on a vocabulary sheet for chapter 2, this homework is not finished. They also will work on the begining of l'imparfait. This was a big and difficult lesson and they will continue on Thursday with this.

Grade 10/11 shared their poem on their father and it was touching to hear their thoughts on this subject. BEWARE! Translating is ok for a word here and there but not the whole text.
This group also participated in the lesson on l'imparfait.
They also researched the Quebec's poet, writer, songwriter...Gilles Vigneault for our next reading.

Grade 12 student, Arav, is doing a marvelous job working his way through the Grade 12 Anthology. I will use next Thursday to discuss kwith him his reading and opinion on consumers and bio-diversity.
