FRENCH 10/20/30

The students continued to watch the French movie "Belle et Sébastian."

FRENCH 7A

The students did a review of colours.  If you were absent and missed the notes they can by found here:  Colours Powerpoint Notes

The students then chose a colour and thought of 7 items that come in that colour.

Example: 

Brown (football, chocolate, owl, eagle, dog, earth, bear)

They then used their dictionary to find the words in French and add LE (if they are masculine), LA (if they are feminine), or L' (if they start with a vowel - a, e, i, o, u, and h).

Example:

football - le football

earth - la terre

eagle - l'aigle

owl - l'hibou

They will use these words next day to write a poem.

ELA 9B 

The students read silently for ten minutes.  Then they were given a topic and began writing a Sonnet.  They brainstormed ideas and words about their topic and then followed the traditional Sonnet pattern of 14 lines, with 10 syllables in each line and a rhyme scheme of (ABAB CDCD EFEF GG).  They should have a rough draft by tomorrow.
