We started with "C'est l'halloween!" and you sang along! 

We threw the ball around the room and found out what everyone was dressed up as for Halloween: 

Q: _______(nom), Quel costume est-ce que tu portes pour l’halloween?

A: Je porte un costume de… (chat/sorcière/Lady Gaga)

A: Je ne porte pas de costume

We watched a Têtes à Claques video on Halloween (Québec), and practiced your listening skills 

You had another mini conversation piece about being scared! In French, just like with age, you HAVE (avoir) it. e.g. J'ai 12 ans = I have 12 years (meaning: I am 12 years old), J'ai peur = I have fear (I am scared)

Q: De quoi as-tu peur?

A: J'ai peur des vampires! 

You learned the expression "ça me fait peur" (that scares me) 

- Today you finished the personality quiz and we found out that Day 1 is mostly... Physique! 

- I handed back your tests: you got two marks

1 Adjective agreement (Writing)

2 Translation exercise (Reading)

You will have another test on this next class. 

For those of you that did well, this is another chance to show me your skills! For those of you that did not do well, this is your chance to show me an improvement! Look at your notes, see the website, ask your peers, and come ask me! 

I am available after school for extra help. 

Today we broke Adjective agreement into 2 steps

Step 1: Check to see if the noun (what is being described) is masculine/feminine + singular/plural

Step 2:  Write the adjective (in this case, the colour) being careful to add the right endings, *watch exceptions!

+e = feminine

+s = plural (more than one)

(so feminine plural +es)

Remember: you don't add doubles! If it already has an "e" at the end, you don't need to add another one. If it already has an "s" at the end you don't need to add another one. 

*EXCEPTIONS:

White:

Blanc = masculine, singular

Blancs = masculine, plural

*Blanche = feminine, singular 

*Blanches = feminine, plural

Purple:

Violet = masculine, singular

Violets = masculine, plural

*Violette = feminine, singular 

*Violettes = feminine, plural

Exercises that we did together Day 1, under the cut:

Finished the personality quiz? Study these!

https://quizlet.com/160540905/mosaique-vocabulaire-flash-cards/

We read the article in French about West Edmonton Mall.
You used your reading strategies (and the new highlighting technique) to answer some questions.

It was a difficult task, but it will get easier! 

*Remember: you don't have to know all of the words in the sentence- you can guess based on the words that you DO know: both mots-amis (English) and mots familiers (French)

We have gone over adjective agreement, and you have completed these two pages.

We went over the verb AVOIR (to have)

J'ai  (I have)
Tu as   (You have)
Il/Elle/On a   (He/She/We have)
Nous avons     (We have)
Vous avez      (You have)
Ils/Elles ont     (They have)

You will have a quiz next class following the same format as the two above worksheets.
This time you won't have access to your notes!

You must know:
- the verb avoir (Quizlet)
- the colours  (Quizlet)
- numbers up to 100 (Quizlet)
- *** how to do adjective agreement ***
ie: feminine noun, add an "e" to the adjective, masculine plural noun, add an "s" to the adjective, feminine plural noun, add an "es" to the adjective, with exceptions-- blanche, violette (feminine forms of blanc and violet)

Please come and see me after school if you are unsure, or are having troubles!! I am here everyday after school until 3:00. I am available to stay a little later if you make an appointment with me!

Quiz on Wednesday October 19th (Day 1)

Quiz on Thursday October 20th (Day 2) 

Here are the other 2 conversation pieces. The "au centre d'achats" and "à la confiserie" are in previous posts.

Today we reviewed the conversation pieces we have done so far:

"Au centre d'achats" - at the mall

"À la confiserie" - at the candy shop

You got a new conversation piece today: "À la fleuriste" 

>> careful of feminine colours, they sound different! 

We went over pronunciation, and reviewed colours.

**Careful of adj! They must agree with the noun

e.g. 

les bonbons verts  = les bonbons are masculine plural, so the adjective is also masc. plur.

les fleurs vertes = les fleurs are feminine plural, so the adjective is also femn. plur. 

General rule (there are exceptions) 

add an e if it is feminine, add and s if it is plural (es if it is feminine plural) 

Some of the exceptions for colours:  

blanc (m), blanche (f)

violet (m), violette (f) 

We played a Kahoot to practice this concept. 

We will have one more conversation piece, and then you will be evaluated on one of the 4 conversation pieces that we have done. You must be prepared for all of them (convo will be chosen at random.) I will ask you to do the conversation twice, switching roles. 

Review your Speaking Feedback log. 

Below is how I am going to assess you.
