French 10
Students M-Z
- Your final French 10 course assessments are scheduled for tomorrow (Check the Qs for Madame channel discussion between Eileen & me from today for more details)
- Your assessments will focus on our final unit topic, language structures and vocabulary & will include short tasks in all areas of communication
- interpretive (listening/reading)
- speaking (with partners – as we have been doing throughout the unit)
- a written paragraph
To prepare for your writing task, look at the following 2 restaurants in Québec City.
- Le lapin sauté (the site is down, but you have one of their menus on p 62 of your unit & there are lots of photos, info and reviews online if you google it)
- Le cochon dingue https://www.cochondingue.com
The Cochon Dingue website also provides an English language option so that you can check your understanding of what is on the menu.
I will provide the writing prompt on Monday/Tuesday, but you can prepare by
- thinking about which restaurant you would want to eat at
- how you would describe the decor/atmosphere of the restaurant
- what you would eat & why
- considering your general food preferences, how you typically eat at home, etc
***You can write some notes for yourself in English so that some of your ideas are already organized (and you don’t have to memorize the menu options from the restaurants)
***You will not have access to your unit packages. Review vocabulary and structures that we have been working on so that you can show what you have learned throughout the quarter.
