A Faire :  Write questions in French using expression vocabulary.  Vary the formation of your questions by using “est-ce que” for some and inversion for others.  Pay close attention to the subject and conjugate your verb appropriately.  Also watch for the key words so you know what vocabulary to use!

We did some oral practice, read some devinettes and discussed in detail the exam next week.  We also did some review in preparation.

Objectif: Students will be able to use être/avoir/faire expressions to ask/answer questions about life/activities.

A Faire :   PowerPoint: Que fait-il ?  For each slide write one or two answers (depending on questions asked) saying the professions of the people.  Try to vary your usage of “c’est/il est” in your reponses in order to get practice with both!

Devoirs :  Finish sondage questions and answers (we will be using these at the beginning of class when we do the survey!) pg 61 #9 (write inversion questions about the people given, remember that ER verbs in the il/elle form need a “-t-“ in between the verb and the subject to avoid the vowel clash.)  Study for test!!
