REMINDERS ABOUT YOUR INFOGRAPHIC:

  • Use language that you know and can use independently (rather than translated phrases)
    • Your grade on this assignment will be lower if there is evidence of use of translated phrases 
    • Your mark will be higher if you carefully use language that you know & have been exposed to in class to communicate and to explain/describe your country
  • Include a mini word bank for any looked up words & be prepared to explain them in French to your group 
  • Make a point of using vocabulary from previous units 
  • Challenge yourself to use some new connecting words
  • Strive to include interesting details about the country & its people – beyond stereotypes, please!
  • To take risks with language complexity, consider some of the more challenging structures that you have seen in the past
    • Expressing necessity  –   Il faut que…
    • Expressing possibility  –  would, could, should
    • Using the preposition ‘y’
