Week of October 9-12th

Hope your long week-end was great!

This week we will begin our new unit: Aventure en Tempomobile.

Once I have corrected the interviews you wrote, you will get a chance to edit it with your partner and practise the oral presentation.

On Monday October 15th we will have a reading comprehension test.  You cannot study for this.  Your preparation is the work we have been doing in class all unit long and the practice readings you have done last week and this week.

 

 

Week of October 1-5

Our big unit test is now done!  Congrats.  This week the focus will be on your final unit task.  The task, as described in class on Wednesday, is to write and then present an interview. You are working with one partner.

You will finish your rough draft of your interview script by Friday.  At this point you will hand in the rough copies to me and I will provide directions for you to edit and correct your work.  Once the good copy is completed, we will have the oral presentations in class.  You are required to do both parts the oral presentation and the written script.

Bonne chance!!!
