- For homework, you were to ask your parents at what age you were when certain things happened in your life (first steps, read your first book.. etc.) from the box "À quel âge" on the "Quand j'étais jeune" worksheet.

Devoirs: For homework you were asked to think of a favourite childhood toy for an activity next class (Roch Carrier talked about his jersey, but we're going to talk about toys), and don't forget to do Duolingo.
