Le blog de Français 7

In celebration of National French Week, some students made posters showing why they are learning French.  Here are the results: We also had a celebration in class, enjoying dishes from all over the francophone world.  Here are some photos of the event: Madeleines! : Tarte Tatin !

Students recently finished their "Qui est-ce ?" or "Who is it?" posters.  Can you figure out who the celebrities or characters below are?  Answers are at the bottom. Answers:  Mr. Krabs, Cinderella, Jiminy Cricket, Frank Sinatra, Steph Curry.

Students have finished their first mini-project, C'est moi.  They look great hanging up!

Learning is well underway in room E142!  Students have learned how to greet people, how to share their name or someone else's, what a cognate is, where French is spoken, why French is important, and how to pronounce several sounds!  Here are some photos of what we did: Asking for and providing names on the first day: Getting to know our classmates: Taking a short survey! Making nametags: Discovering cognates and learning lots of new words!

Students used Cloudbooks to produce ABC books in French as a class that they will soon read to 6th graders. Here are the results:

We've been learning a lot about how to say what people are doing, so students drew or found a photo and captioned it. For April Fool's Day, or Poisson d'Avril, students tried the French tradition of sticking a fish on someone's back!
