Grade 9/10/11012 Rehearsals are well underway and every student had a chance to say a few lines and receive feedback.
Homework is to memorize your lines for Tuesday, Feb. 23, in order for you to have a full rehearsal on that day.
Grade 8 Students, although they did not think it was important to know how to count by ten in French...the fact remains that only 2 students aced it. Following this short warm up, they read two stories from the textbook and they examined what should be included in a travel diary. These items will be required for la tâche finale.
The next item on the agenda today was the pronom d'objet direct. Everyone did their work during class, so there should be no homework this time around.
Grade 7 The lesson today was the pronoun EN. It was a rather difficult concept but everyone will be able to apply it. Homework! please do your exercise sheet for Tuesday, and review the rules in your textbook.
Grade 6 were doing their speeches all day, and although they did not have French this afternoon, I was able to join their class and hear a few of them.
