NEWS FROM THE FRENCH CORNER
GRADE 6 There was an assembly this morning, so there was just enough time to go through half of the class for the role play of an interview. So far, everyone did really well. The rest of the class will present the week of 25th. Next week, is MYP exams and there will not be any French class for that week. Ms Haag will be able to be with her class so it is all good.
Grade 7 The students were given the option to study for exam or work on their projects. This is a short oral presentation of an interesting career personality and their career path.
Grade 8 Students are studying for exams and/or preparing a short oral presentation on giving their opinion on GMO food. They will be able to have their notes with them while presenting but the focus really is on the delivery of their ideas.
Grade 9/10/11/12 will have some time to study and/or work on their oral presentation. They will be needed to move a few tables to set up the room for exams.
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE ON YOUR EXAMS!

Grade 6 The students returned to their working groups and composed their advertisement for part-time work. They demonstrated good collaboration skills and included all the requirements for their ad.
Homework for Tuesday, 12th, is to complete their translation in order to do the art work on Tuesday. Students exchanged emails and will be in contact should the need arise.
Grade 7 Mid term exams are fast approaching. The students were given instructions on what they should review. They also have a project on careers to submit for the week after the exam. More on this next week.
Grade 8 The students received their mid-term overview. Today's lesson was: futur simple. They will also have a short presentation to do right after exam week and this will count towards their cumulative task (oral/communication component). Next week is full review mode.
Grade 9 Students read unit 4 p.70-75. The were given their review package and some instructions with the presentation rubric. Next week, is full review mode.
Grade 10/11 Students were given the components to review for the mid-term exam. There was extra practice for the futur simple since so many students were absent before the break. Please remember that next week will be important (what week isn't?) since there is one more component 'futur antérieur' to go over before the exam.
Grade 12 We went over the exam's segments and the components for the communication element.
