L6 AND F6:

Quiz next time on the verbs that we have been looking at in questions and responses. This will be a very short quiz to show your understanding of “je/tu dois, je/tu veux, je/tu peux, j’/tu aime(s), je/ tu prefere(s) and the verbs on pages 74 and 75 in the textbook. You will have time to study during the class. 

This is like a “Quiz de Pop” but I am giving you advance warning!

F6:

Complete your corrections, which will help you to prepare for the quiz tomorrow.

L6

Write out 5 original questions using the following vocabulary:

Tu dois, tu peux, tu veux + an additional verb. Look in your textbook for examples on p. 78.

Follow the structure that we began in class today.

Here are a few scenes from today’s restaurant skits. Bon appetit!!!

By the way, the homework will be posted tomorrow for the weekend.

The pictures have disappeared!!! If anyone knows how to help tomorrow please let me know. We worked really hard on adding them to this site!!!  Zut…

F6 and L6:

Rough draft of the skit is due at the very beginning of class tomorrow. No printing out or finishing at all, because I need to see them and get them back to you so you can finish the final draft during class and then practice.

Bring materials to make your props as well. See the blog from Friday, October 23 (le 23 octobre) for all of the details.

Now that the Unit Test is done, it is time to work on your project! You will write and act out a skit taking place in either a restaurant or a cafe.

The rough draft must be turned in no later than Tuesday at the very beginning of class for both groups (L6 and F6). If you are going to memorize it for extra credit you must turn it in by Monday morning so that I can get it back to you by the end of the day.

Alessandro and Kai: You are expected to use vocabulary from the Grand Cahier (French is Fun) for your part in the skit, no mater who your partners are. You will each write a separate page talking about a party that you are planning to have that you are describing to the people that you are eating with. This is in addition to the participation in the skit itself. This  will be incorporated into the skit.

You need to include: the date of the party, a description of where it will be in at least 3 sentences, what the occasion is, and the menu. You will be expected to use a least 10 vocabulary items from the Grand Cahier. See me or email me with questions.

Everyone will do the following:

You will write a rough draft, turn it in, correct it, make props, memorize it (for extra credit) and present it next Wednesday, October 28.

In your skit, you must demonstrate your understanding of the following: (You will be assessed on the written component, the actual organization of the presentation, and the pronunciation. No translators should be used and I can tell, by the way!)

1. Weather (asking about and answering: question and 3 answers);

2. Seasons: all four;

3. Days of the week and months of the year (ALL);

4. How to order in a restaurant: Formal AND informal: 4 foods and 4 drinks;

5. Questions and responses of the waitperson;

6. Asking about the cost of both masculine and feminine items (using IL/ELLE);

7. Asking about the final bill’s cost;

8. Answering this question correctly;

9. How to ask about and answer about when your birthday is;

10. How to greet each other and say good-bye.

The skit can be in whatever order that you want as long as it makes sense. You need two customers and one waitperson.

See me with any questions. This counts as much as the Unit Test. Do your BEST and have fun with it!

F6: Come prepared to finish the test tomorrow.

L6: We will start something new tomorrow. Bring your textbook, pencil and paper.

F6: Your test is done. Bravo! No homework tonight.
L6: Study for the test that you will have the next time we meet. Bonne Chance!

Test tomorrow for both F6 and L6!

Study your flashcards, which you need to finish if they were not a complete set today. Those who were not prepared must have them for tomorrow.

Pages to review in the workbook are 36, 39, 40, 48 and 49.

You have a test on Unit 2 next week. See previous blogs with the details. You should be spending 10-20 minutes a day studying by this point. For Tuesday you should make flashcards for each vocabulary page. Write the words in French and draw pictures on the back to illustrate their meaning. You can divide the flashcards into topics (drinks, food, expressions, formal vs. informal, etc), or by page, depending on how it works best for you.

This will be a GRADED homework. I will look at the flashcards on Tuesday.
