français 1
Today we did a self quiz to practice plural sentences and a practice listening activity for Thursday’s test.
Then, we worked on reading the “lecture culturelle” on pages 68-69. There is a handout with a map of N America and the Caribbean to guide the reading and two parts to the assignment.

Part 1: première partie
• Read the lecture culturelle on p. 68-69
• For each section, answer the following questions:
– Comment s’appellent-t-ils?
– Ils sont d’où? (put on map)
– Ils sont de quelle origine? (put on map)
– Ils sont de quelle nationalité?
– Ils parlent quelles langues?

Part 2: deuxième partie
• Find 20 places in the US with French names. Put them on the map, label them, then explain what the name means in English.
• You might look for…
– Ville, île, mont, articles (le/la), Saint, colors, or other words you know or recognize
• What can you deduce about the location of these places?

Devoir (homework): complete the map and reading

français 2:
Today we talked about reflexive verbs in the passé composé and used our verbes réfléchis handout. We discussed how agreement (accord) occurs when the thing that the action is directly to is oneself (represented by “se” before the verb), but not if it is a body part that is mentioned after the verb. We did handout exercise page 286 #5 and workbook exercises page R37# 12 & 13.
We then completed our partner sheets and used them to learn the verbs savoir & connaître.
We added these conjugations to the verb chart and used a handout to discuss their meanings.

Devoir (homework): Exercise 14 on page 231 of the savoir/ connaître handout.
Read pages 2-3 in book.
