Chocolat

Bonjour!  On Thursday (8/21), we will hold our first French Club meeting for 2014-2015!  Please join us for the annual Chocolat meeting.  We will be watching and eating chocolat!  We will begin right after school in room #103.  If you need to come after 5th period -- that is fine.  If you need to leave early -- that's fine too!  Bring some chocolat to share!  We will be nominating officers, planning activities for the year and selecting t-shirt designs soon.

In class this week, we are working with verbs, verbs, verbs.  We are watching various YouTube clips to review subject pronouns and verb forms.  Also, we have used Languages Online to review basic French 1 topics.  We are also working on the Solomon Grundy projet.  You can either create a <<livre de Smoosh>> or recite the poem.  The due date for this assignment is jeudi.

This week if you need to work more with French verbs, check out Tex's French Grammar at the University of Texas.  Click here http://www.laits.utexas.edu/tex/ to access the site.  Then click inside the magnifying glass to find some outstanding grammar advice and practice.  Hook 'em horns!

For our challenge question this week, I will award dix tickets to the first three people who can give me the name of the <<fire ant>> from Tex's French Grammar.  You might have to dig around a bit to find this answer!  Bonne chance!  Ciao!
