Work for the week of March 16-19

Grade 9
If your group has not presented your video, you can present it when we return after the break.  If you can find a way to email the video to me, that would be even better.

Grade 8
Every class has highlighted the brackets for Sylvie, Pierre and Rejean.  You then have to create 1 sentence per character per page they are on.

COURSE OUTLINE

Welcome to Qui Arrive Ce Soir?

Supplies*

Please bring a pencil, an eraser to each class.

Course content

In this course, you already have experience in how you may learn through a hands-on, active-
learning approach that uses gestures, plays and other activities. Hopefully, you feel you have already learned a great deal. You will continue to expand your vocabulary and there will be even more opportunities for you to develop your French language skills. By the end of this kit, you will be expected to read, write, speak and understand French using the past, present and future tenses.

Classroom rules

Here is the most important one: Speak only in French! It is important to support your own learning and the learning of others by respecting this rule.  English is not to be used in the classroom.

Assessment

Students will be assessed through observations, products and conversations.  They will be evaluated through a balanced literacy approach.  We will focus on speaking approximately 50%, reading 25% and writing 25% of the year. 

Homework

We will have written homework from time to time, if we do, I expect you to finish it on the date due.  If there is no written homework you can review (study) the play or review words from your DVD.

You should be spending a minimum of 5 minutes on French every day. Parents, there is always something your daughter/son can be working on.

Good luck and work hard!

Sincerely,   

Shannon Steinhoff
