jueves el cinco de noviembre FM6 LJ6

  • Tarea – Read about Costa Rica p.134-137 textbook. You should know a little bit about each item for a quick quiz. Choose one item that you are interested in pursuing as a presentation project. Spend 20 mn researching it online and explain to us next lesson why you have chosen that topic. Remember that you will eventually (starting end of next week) need to present it in an interactive manner (that involves the audience) – that means if it music we want to hear it, food we want to taste it. dance, we want to see it etc…

  1. Choose ten objects for your room / house / boat / rocket / car. Find the French. Make sure you use le / la depending on whether it is masculine or feminine
  2. Add adjectives. At least one per noun. Don’t use the same one more than twice. Think about the rulwes we discussed in class. EX. La grande chaise bleue. Remember some adjectives don’t change in the feminine. You should be able to see the masc and fem versions in wordreference.com
  3. Find pictures of those objects online or use magazines or draw / design them
