Mercredi 01/10

Today we did some review for the quiz by doing some speaking activities and playing “Loto” 

Handouts :  Number crossword/phone number handout, Syllabus

Devoirs : 

     1.      Do both sides of handout (crossword: when you say 200, 300, 400, etc. in French, you actually say two hundredS (deux centS), so you may need to write an “s” on some.  If it is 250 or any number that is not an even hundred, you don’t need the “s”.  Ex:  deux cent cinquante.  Phone numbers: the lines and boxes on the handout are a little screwed up, just write the numbers somewhere on there in the French style!)

     2.      Read and take detailed notes over pg 37, including the Note Culturelle!

Vendredi 26/09

Today in class we practiced talking about nationalities and where people are from (Tu es de Paris?  Non, je suis de Portland!)  We did some number practice by asking questions about birthdays and phone numbers and played a dice game called “Cent”.  At the end, we listened to and sang our song “Sympathique”.
