Study for the quiz Friday

Bonjour!

Remember to study for the quiz Friday. Here is a BBC French site that explains asking questions. Don't worry, your test won't be nearly this complicated but it's a good review.

Bienvenue aux sixièmes!

Nous allons faire des puzzles et jeux pour notre unité “Soyons Branchés!” Voici un lien pour vous aider :

Puzzles

Travaillez dans un document « Word, » pour écrire les indices avec les accents nécessaires, avant de créer votre puzzle.

We are making puzzles and games to go with our unit, “Soyons Branchés!” I have listed the link to help you above. You can't make accents within the program. I suggest you create your list of words and clues using accents inside a Word document. After that, copy and paste your finished puzzle into a different Word document and save it from there. You should check for mistakes before you print out a copy of your puzzle to hand in. Make sure I receive a puzzle and an answer key.

Amusez-vous bien!

Tell your parents! (or just use it yourself)

I am a member of Canadian Parents for French. Their website is very large and rich in information. A lot of the links are helpful for students and parents interested in French Immersion and late French Immersion. You can also use the website to investigate French camps, French contests and French exchanges.

If you are interested in resources that can be used to practice French or complete projects, you might also look here:

More research links for your animal project

Here is a new link you can explore which has all kinds of quality links, including links for researching animals. Try looking here for a list of links, divided by category at FSL with M. Renaud. Good luck with your project!

When the project is over, you will find all kinds of activities and game links on the main site for M. Renaud. I think you will find this is a good site for enrichment and entertainment.

Resources - Les Animaux

Grade 8's are doing an animal project which may be a solo presentation or a debate. To research this topic, students should make one printout from a french language Internet source. The source should be very basic and aimed at children, not adults. The school website is one place to start. It has links to a couple of French encyclopedias for students. I also looked around the web and found this site with lots of animal links. Take a look around and see if you can find your favorite animal.

Puzzles

Do you like puzzles and quizzes. Here's a new site to explore. Try the "Who wants to be a Millionnaire," match game.

Interviews are coming!

Are your parents/ guardians coming in for an interview Thursday night or Friday morning? Do you have questions for Madame W. ? Parents, please drop in and speak to me between your interviews. You may also make an appointment by note, by writing me a message in the agenda or phoning the school.

In other news:

One student in grade 6 has already earned bonus marks for creating an excellent suggestion list of good web links for French. It's not still too late to enter my enrichment 'contest.' Please read the previous blog entry for instructions....

A la prochaine...
