The grade 8s have been introduced to the play called Salut Mon Ami, paper copies will be given to the students for class and to work from home very soon.
We have been working on our daily routines, speaking in complete sentences and a wide variety for regular and irregular verbs.
During the routines we have been doing the"ouvre la tete" routine and we are currently learning the routine with "les pinces". Each group is asked "Combien de pinces est-ce que ton groupe a?". Then, some groups will have a different amount, so, I will ask "Combien de pinces est-ce que ton groupe a besoin de?". That expression "a besoin de" is crucial in language development as it allows students to tell me and other what they "need".
The daily routines and the story is the way we take routines and familar text and turn them into more spontaneous speech. Once students become more familiar with sentence structures, speaking becomes easier. It is very important that all students are trying to speak when doing the routines.
