NEWS FROM THE FRENCH CORNER

Grade 1/2 The class watched a virtual class on how to describe a person. They also followed the model, and began describing their classmate.

Grade 9 French* Students played a Kahoot game about futur simple. This is a simple way to keep this grammar concept fresh on their mind. Students may self-assess their knowledge, and their answers are recorded with the stats the game offers.
HERE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS (EACH STUDENT HAS A RUBRIC ALSO) FOR THE SUMMATIVE DUE MARCH 27.
1. Pick an historical figure from the past. As discussed, this person must be deceased.
2. You will have to write 3 travel journal entries (5 sentences each) describing when your encounter occurs (year and date), where you are (can be another country). Use your 5 senses, it helps for the description.
3. During your talk with this famous person, what did you say, what did he/she say?
4. Use all appropriate verb tenses, vocabulary, and check your spelling.

Grade 7/8 French* Students are almost ready for presentations which will take place THURSDAY, March 8th.

Grade 5/6 After a fantastic presentation session last Friday, students deserved a couple of rounds of Kahoot games. They were very engaged and played well. Their answers and feedback are returned to the teacher as statistics, and are good formative activities.

Grade 3/4  Students presented their findings about a flight event which they researched. They played their journalists roles, were able to give dates (years have 4 digit numbers), and reflected on how they learned so much by listening to everyone's work.
They also recorded their oral presentation, and they played them back to hear how they sound.

JK/SK The class watched 'Le Petit Chaperon Rouge' as theatre  play. There were songs that they already knew, and the class ended with another tale of a wolf and 3 little pigs. Very busy today.
