Culture Project

Hi everyone,
I hope you had a good weekend.
Here is your project that has a due date of June 11th.  I do not expect the work to be handed in this week or next week.  Take your time and do some research.

I would like you to do some research and create a power point.   There are no minimum or maximum number of slides.  If you are the person that needs a number, try for 6-10 slides.
Include picture too.  Your writing can be in English.  The assignment is to learn more about French culture.

I would like you to research something related to French culture.  Some ideas are:

1.  Paris
2.  The Eiffel Tower
3.  Versailles
4.  Le Louvre
5.  Any French speaking country
6.  Louis XIV
7.  Samuel de Champlain
8.  Saint Lawrence River
9.  The battle on the Plains of Abraham
10.  Paul de Chomedey de Maisonneuve
11.  Anything else that interests you.

This is an open assignment, report on what you leaned or found to be interesting.

Please email your powerpoint to me on or before June 11th.

Please contact me with any questions you might have.

Welcome to a new month.

We have worked lots of the past, today I want to show you the "Future Proche"

The ability to talk about the future, what is going to happen.

We will start with this video.
Watch this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJ6bl0vU8lw

The chorus is the really important part.

To talk in the "Future Proche", you need to take the verb Aller and add an infinitif.


Aller
Je vais
Tu vas
Il va
Elle va
Nous allons
Vous allez
Ils vont
Elles vont

Some of the more common infinitif that I think you will use are, parler, jouer, manger, lire, faire, regarder, aller, danser, acheter, visiter.  I think that is all I want to start with.

We will start by making sentences about what you are going to do on the weekend.
"Qu'est-ce que tu vas faire pendant la fin de semaine?"

Here are some examples.

Je vais manger la pizza pendant la fin de semiane.
Je vais jouer volleyball pendant la fin de semaine.  (you don't always have to put pendant la fin de semaine)
Je vais regarder Toy Story avec mon ami.
Je vais lire Harry Potter dans ma chambre.
Je vais aller dehors.

If you wanted to include a family member, you can say we (nous)
Nous allons jouer au hockey avec Dave.
Nous allons regarder un film dans le salon.

The best part of the "Future Proche", there are no exceptions at all.

Watch the video and try 2 sentences on your own.  This is something that we will continue to work on.

Have a good weekend.
