Monday, May 1, 2017 - Day 6

French 8B

The students reviewed passe compose for their test on Thursday, May 4th.

1.  Look at the pronoun.

Example:  JE

2.  Determine if you need to use ETRE (the verb is a Dr. & Mrs. Vandertamp / a coming or going verb) or else use AVOIR

Example: (aller)  JE SUIS      or  (manger) J'AI

3.  Add the correct past participle  ER-É  ,   IR - I  and RE - U for regular verbs.

Example:  JE SUIS ALLÉ   or J'AI MANGÉ

4.  If it is a Dr. & Mrs. Vandertramp make sure it agrees with the pronoun

Example:  JE SUIS ALLÉE (extra e for a girl)  or JE SUIS ALLÉ (no extra e for a boy)

*Remember to study your AVOIR and ETRE conjugaitons.  Memorize the Dr. & Mrs. Vandertramp verbs and the irregular verbs we studied.

French 10/20/30

The students orally described what they did on the weekend using passe compose.  Then we discussed using Imparfait as an alternative for past tense.  Imparfait can be used when an action is continued over time ( a week, several hours,etc.) or is habitual (happens everyday).  We did one practice sheet today.

ELA 9A & 9B

The students read silently for 10 minutes.  Then we read, answered questions, and corrected Romeo and Juliet, Act 5 Scene 2 and started reading Scene 3.
