The students went through their "er" verb re-assessments and their reading assessment.  They then reviewed "ir" verbs in preparation for our quiz on Tuesday, May 31st.

Je ---- IS (I)
Tu ----IS (You(s))
Il ------IT (He)                     * le, la, un, use, son, mon, Fred, Anne would also end in IT
Elle---IT (She)
On ----IT (One)
Nous ------ISSONS (We)
Vous ------ISSEZ (You (pl))
Ils ---------ISSENT (They (m))   *les, des, ses, mes, Sam et Frank,  would also end in ISSENT
Elles ------ISSENT (They (f))

If you were absent see Miss Riddell on Monday for the practice sheet.

ELA 9A

Students silent read and then wrote three paragraphs to answer the question:  How can I prepare myself to follow my career choice?  The suggested format was an introductory paragraph about the chosen career (tasks, hours, general information), a body (education and skills that you need, have or need to work on), and a conclusion that ties it all together.  This needs to be in the form of a Google Document created in the assignment on Google Classroom.

French 8B

The students have until midnight tonight to complete any corrections in their Famous French Canadian Google Slide Shows.  Today the students reviewed the knowledge needed to use passé composé for their test, which will be on Monday, June 6th.
