NEWS FROM THE FRENCH CORNER

Grade 9 FSF1D The day started with the viewing of a video. The guest was Jeremy Pastel. The talk was about the diaspora of young entrepreneurs coming to Canada. The key points were to have a clear vision of what you want to achieve and have a 5 year plan.
Students brainstormed strategies about listening for comprehension even if the language is foreign. Some of the points were: watch the non verbal cues, listen for bonus words, stay in context, listen for the pauses and intonation...etc.
Homework is to have a lay out, a slogan and ideas for the Web page ready for Thursday.
Grade FSF2D students also watched the interview, and participated in the discussion about listening for comprehension strategies. This is useful for their own interview with the parents.
Make sure that you have read all of the 6 chapters, and Thursday we will finalize the questions.
