Today we continued to work on the passé composé with être (learning the 17 verbs of movement/coming-going that must use it!),  had project work time and a crêpe party.

A Faire:  pg 128 #3 write sentences using the subjects given and the correct passé composé form of  each verb.  Pay attention to agreements!!

Devoirs :  pg 119 #6 (choose which subject and helping verb to use based on the past participle given.  Rewrite the entire sentence!)  Have the final version of your project ready to turn in.  Make sure it is in the correct format, with pictures and typed!!  Start practicing for interviews!

Lundi 01/06

We learned how to use “aller” in the passé composé, did a peer-edit of our dialogue drafts and had some work time.

Handouts :  Peer-edit checklist: Mon Enfance

TEC:  Peer-edit and be peer-edited!  Each student will get credit for being part of both sides of this process.  If you did not complete this in class, it is your responsibility to take care of it outside of class!  Although tutorial is a great option for this!

Devoirs :  Write and revise “Mon Enfance” project (final draft due Thursday!)

Fête de crêpe tomorrow, bring stuff!!

Jeudi 28/05

Today, we practiced irregular past participles (see pg 117) and how to say “I went..” (Je suis allé/Je suis allée).  We also corrected the test from last week and started our final project.

Handouts :  Mon Enfance

A Faire:  pg 117 #4 (write your answers to the first question only)

TEC: Correct test, start work on project

Devoirs :  have a complete double spaced, neatly written/typed rough draft of the project for peer-edit (minimum 20 sentences total, 10 for each age, see directions) do pg 107 #5 if not done yet for Monday in class! Prepare for fête de crêpe on Tuesday!!

Mardi 26/05

We reviewed imparfait and passé composé constructions, went over the homework, listened to a new song and watched some of Les Choristes.

A Faire:  pg 106 #3 (Write sentences saying what EACH person did at EACH time of day.  Your sentences should start with the time of day and make sure you write about EACH activity listed and your sentences are complete!)

Handouts :  Passé Composé graphic organizer, Coup de Boule (chanson)
