Humanities 7-5:

• Our daily warm-up is now 10 minutes of reading in French, followed by 5 minutes of writing in French, using sentence starters. Also, our strategy with sentence writing is to use the vocabulary from the text that we read in our writing. 
• Homework: write 2 sentences using "La phrase négative"
• In Social Studies, we are currently studying Jacques Cartier and his 3 voyages. 
• Students, please re-read your notes from chapter 1, especially the information comparing and contrasting the Haudenausonee, Anishnabe, and Mi'kmaq. 
• Homework: if you have not handed in your "Journal d'un explorateur" yet... it is VERY late. (was due November 18). This is your evaluation for chapter 1 and takes the place of a chapter 1 test, and as such, must be completed as part of your term mark.

Merci!

Bonjour! Hello!

For 75 only:

Today we worked on "la phrase négative" in our daily warm-up. We have been working on this concept (ne...pas) for the past several weeks. Extra practice on this concept can be found here: https://www.clicmaclasse.fr/activites/etude-langue/phrase-negative/phrase-negative.pdf

We also started a research project on a topic that has to do with the fall season. Students are working in pairs and are working towards preparing an oral presentation en français that they will record. Students will then respond to their classmates recorded presentations en français also in video format. The project outline can be found here: Recherche - l'automne The timeline for this project is approximately 1.5 weeks.

Student Learning Updates will be sent home today.

Merci!

Mme Pohajdak et Mme Haggar
