• Devoirs - Check out “Voicethread” online. It is a great tool for communication outside the classroom. First listen to what its about http://voicethread.com/#home.b409.i848804. Next see what other French classes have done  http://voicethread.com/#q+french . Finally for homework, take a look at my Voicethread on “descriptions” http://voicethread.com/share/693500/ I would like you to record a comment for each of the pictures using at least 4 adjectives for each (check your textbook) Make sure that the adjectives are masculine or feminine (Example for a male: Il est blond, beau, grand, jeune et drole (funny). For a female: Elle est grande, blonde, belle, jeune et drole.) You can also use nouns and verbs for example: Il est acteur. / Elle chante bien.
• N.B You may have to register to record a comment. If you done have a microphone you can choose to record via your phone!! (thats what I used)
