Peppa pig: le printemps

> When can we “really say it’s spring?”
> What do you think the new unit is about?

You found out that the new unit is about Childhood memories (Les souvenirs d'enfance.) Your final task of this unit will be to pick a celebrity, and describe their childhood in an interview format using vocabulary and grammar learned in the unit.

- You filled in the feedback frame (goal setting) for the new unit

- You started the worksheet "Quand j'étais jeune..."

> you completed sentences and drew pictures to go along with them
> I gave you a list of vocabulary from the textbook as well as a list to describe yourself (the latter is under the cut)
* reminder:  à / de (à games/sport, de for instrument)
* reminder: à/en/au/aux (à city/island, en fem country/province, au masc country/province, aux for plural country/province)
- À quel âge? (p.68 texte): this is in the box on the "quand j'étais jeune" w/s. You made approx. guesses to the answers, and your task is to find out the answers at home! You will share some of the answers next class.

HW: Duolingo, find out the answers to the à quel âge questions at home with your parents/guardians, review vocabulary (adj) 

SPRING BREAK | VACANCES DE PÂQUES

Remember: Duolingo is not required over the break! 

“Audio-Yelp”

Final project outline/guidelines:

“Audio-Yelp”

Imagine que Yelp a des revues audio, toi et un(e) partenaire vont soumettre deux revues: une personne va dire une critique positive, l’autre va faire une critique négative (les deux dans une seule vidéo.) Il faut avoir des images et de l’audio par dessus. 

- nom du restaurant

- description du repas (entrée, plat principal, dessert)* (J’ai mangé… J’ai pris…) 

- l’ambiance/décor**

- le service/prix**

- Je recommande/Je ne recommande pas (Expression: “Pour l’amour de Dieu ne mangez pas dans ce restaurant!”)

* using past participles of adj

** imparfait (avoir/être)

> in each critique, use at least one direct object pronoun with the passé composé (avoir) 

> in each critique, use at least one expression learned today

+ this is the minimum requirements, if you would like to add more information, feel free! 

À remettre: le 11 mars (this Friday) 

>> BonPatron is a good resource to use to check your written work

>> Review your feedback log, the class Quizlet, and feel free to ask me any questions! 

>> The mark will primarily be based on your oral production

You will be given time to work on the project during the double block day, if possible, please bring a device equipped with an app that has the ability to have a picture slideshow with recorded audio overtop.

The restaurant can be a real or fictional restaurant. Be advised that you do need pictures! 

Apple devices: I recommend 30hands

Android devices: I have not used it, but PhotoVoice and PhotoStage look promising. 

You will be uploading your videos to a Private password protected YouTube account. 

I will give you that information in class. Please make sure you choose 'PRIVATE' when uploading. 

Today you had a listening test

> You described food to a partner using vocabulary you know, while your partner drew it. 

> You reviewed the vocabulary learned from last class (ambiance, choix de plats, etc.) - See Quizlet 

> You used that vocabulary to describe a restaurant experience, the class guessed which restaurant it was.

I told you about this happening this weekend:

Aujourd'hui

You had your past participle as adj quiz (2)- I took the better mark.

We did a listening activity on p. 18 in your cahier (listened to the descriptions of the food.) We will be doing a similar activity for marks tomorrow.

We did a speaking activity with some learned and new vocabulary about a restaurant experience, mix and mingle-style!

HW: Duolingo, review some of the food vocabulary you've seen this unit.

Today (not double block)

You had your past participles as adj quiz, I am going to give you another quiz on this tomorrow. I will take the higher mark (if you did not do well today, STUDY TONIGHT.)

We watched the rest of this video on Zaption, did a little listening assignment activity with it



Quizlet with some of the words from the video.

We learned about a new tense in the past: Imparfait! This is used for descriptions- whereas passé composé is more like a snapshot.

You learned Être (was) and Avoir (had) in the Imparfait and did a worksheet- we marked it together.

HW: Duolingo, study for the quiz tomorrow.

------

I was away yesterday, but you completed...
- p. 9 + 24 in the cahier, answers given in class
- you wrote a description of your favourite dish, using past participles as adjectives and read them aloud in small groups (the group tried to guess what dish you were describing!)

Those who wanted more practice with the direct object pronoun (+agreement) see below the cut
