Friday, November 2, 2018 (Day 5)

SENIOR FRENCH

The students did a final quick oral presentation of their activities yesterday.  Then we introduced/reviewed Imparfait, when it is used and how to conjugate it.

Passé Compose - Occasional events, completed actions, interruptions

Imparfait - habitual, ongoing actions, background actions

To conjugate Imparfait:

1. take the present form using nous :  nous allons

2.  drop the ons : all

3. add the correct ending :  j'allais

Je --ais

Tu --ais

Il/Elle --ait

Nous -- ions

Vous -- iez

Ils/Elles --aient

Then we started to read an article about Remembrance Day using the following strategies:

1.  Look for words you already know  --> aller (to go)

2.  Look for words that are similar to English  --> voyager (to travel/ take a voyage)

3.  Look at the pictures

4.  Use your dictionary

5.  Use common sense to have it make sense

FRENCH 7B

Three students were in our first Chaise Chaud.  Then we reviewed être for our quiz next class (Tuesday, November 6th.)

ELA 9A & 9B

The students had time to edit the rough draft of their news article about "On the Sidewalk Bleeding."  The good copy will be due at the end of class on Monday.
