BONJOUR LES AMIS!
As always, I will be available every day this week to answer your questions. I would like to have a class meeting on Thursday to review the language concepts & structures. Please give me a ‘thumbs up’ on Teams to let me know if you can attend.
REQUIRED FRENCH WORK THIS WEEK
- This week we are starting a new unit called ‘Me, my family, my friends’. Please open and download the following unit package Moi, ma famille, mes amis
- Review of basic structures, teaching of new language concepts, and new vocabulary are all included in this unit. It will be important that you allot time each day to work through it & to practise with a partner to develop confidence.

- Read through the lessons on grammar structures & complete the practise work. Then, complete & submit this handout on Teams by Friday, May 29th Leçon 1 – moi, ma famille, mes amis
OPTIONAL
- Start looking ahead in the unit and memorizing the new vocabulary for lessons 2 & 3.
- Expand your vocabulary and comprehension by listening to a different story each day. There are 30 stories in Saison 1!
