PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!
Grade 7-8-9-10-11-12
***Please pick and choose 5 pieces of work from your French binder and make sure they have your name on them. I will photocopy them to place in your class binder and return the originals for you to study with. ***
Grade 10/11 The lesson (review) was related to the SI clause and the use of plus-que-parfait and the conditionnel passé. The students are strongly encouraged to review this section, practice and come to class with any questions they may have.
Grade 9 students worked on their section La cuisine du Nord and were treated to a guest speaker, Ms Kominek. She was able to give first hand account of her experience teaching in a northern First Nation community.
She was able to convey the hardships and the costs involved while living in the North. The grade 9 appreciate your input and now have material to work with for their up and coming task.
Grade 8 Several students were away on a field trip. So the remaining students had a chance to catch up with their presentation rough copy.
Grade 7 As several students were away on a field trip, students had a chance to catch up with the tricky passé composé with special verbs using the verb Être as the auxiliary.
Grade 6 BRAVO! Students had their 'on stage' rehearsal of their French skits which is an important component of their Exhibition. Bonne Chance!

THANK YOU ARAV FOR READING YOUR POEM AT THIS MORNING'S ASSEMBLY.
Grade 10/11 Interviews are coming along well. Please make sure you record yourself asking and answering the questions (you need to have a hard copy of the Q & A). The length may run from 1minute to 3 minutes. This work is due on Tuesday 26.
Grade 9 Please, make sure you have your work completed for the calendar project and that you have coordinated the work with your partner. You should have a visual component and everyone in your group has their own part on a hard copy as well.
Grade 8 Vocabulary and expressions related to animals and their care were discussed and recorded. This will be handy for the presentation coming up. You will have time in class to work on it. Today, students formed partnerships to work on their broadcast.
Grade 7 Today was a bit difficult. It is the smallest and shortest words that cause students to pause. With practice, you will be expert!
Grade 6 Students worked on the delivery of their lines for the drama part of their exhibition. Small modifications were done to the scripts to help with the flow of sentences.
ENJOY THE WEEKEND!
