FRENCH 3 - Today's in-class activities:

• Reading/Writing quiz for Leçon 3

FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK we will be working on summative assessments for Chapter 1. There will be an assessment for LISTENING, READING, WRITING and SPEAKING. On Tuesday we will go over the speaking questions and develop an outline for the writing assessment. My plan is that on Thursday we will go to the language lab to work specifically on listening and speaking and then do the assessments at the end of the period. If that plan changes I will let you know. The questions (of which I will choose a maximum of 3) for the speaking assessment are as follows:

1. Quel temps fait-il aujourd'hui?
2. Qu'est-ce que vous avez fait hier soir?
3. Qu'est-ce qu'il faut que vous fassiez pour réussir à l'école?
4. Vous avez beaucoup appris sur les pays du monde francophone. Quel est un pays que vous voudriez visiter ou ne pas visiter? Pourquoi?
5. Dites-moi quelles sont les activités que vous aimez faire. Aimeriez-vous mieux passer une semaine au Canada ou aux Antilles? Pourquoi?
6. (Accelerated) Imaginez que vous avez fait un voyage et que malheureusement il y a avait quelques problèmes. Décrivez le voyage et expliquez ce qui est arrivé.
7. (Accelerated) Dites-moi que vous considérez comme important. Qu'est-ce qu'il faut que vous fassiez pendant votre jeunesse?
