*Tomorrow is Snolympics.  Remember your costumes.

French 9A

The students came up with a plan for their Activate project.  Jaxon and Tyson are going to present it to Mrs. Cey and Mr. Parker and get their go ahead before we proceed further in planning our event.

ELA 9B

The students had two classes to develop their storyboard for their Book Trailer.  It is now homework and should be completed for Friday's ELA class.

French 8A

The students practiced telling two things they had done yesterday (in passé composé.)  Then we discussed adding e and/or s to the past participles of Dr. & Mrs. Vandertramp verbs.  If the verb refers to a girl it must have an extra e, if the verb may refer to a girl but you are not sure then add the extra (e) in brackets, if the verb refers to a group it must have an extra s, and in the case of vous where it may be plural the (s) must be in brackets. We practiced with a sheet, which is due next class.

Examples:

Susan est allée.  *extra e
Susan et Andrea sont allées.  *extra e and s
Tu es allé(e).  *possibly female, possible extra e
Vous êtes allé(e)(s).  * possible female, possibly plural
Elles sont allées.  *extra e and s
Ils sont allés.   *extra s

ELA 9A

The students had this class to find creative commons photos for their Book Trailers.  They will have one more class to find pictures, then it will be on their own time.

French 10/20/30

The students shared their favourite holiday in a class discussion and then we added vocabulary for common holidays and celebrations to our notes.
