TO BE READY FOR NEXT WEEK

Take note of the following important deadlines: 

  • interpretive listening & reading is scheduled for Monday, Oct 3rd
  • infographic & partner conversations are rescheduled for Oct 5th, 6th & 7th
    • You need your infographic in class on Wednesday, Oct 5th
    • I will print digital infographics sent to me by 5 pm on Tuesday, Oct 2

Consider the follow as you prepare

    • What connections have you made between your daily life and culture? What details can you share about your culture that are part of your daily life?
    • What experiences have influenced the person you are today?
    • What words will you use to describe yourself to others? What examples can you give to support your word choices?
    • Who has had an impact on you? In what ways?
    • What stories do you feel comfortable sharing about yourself, your family and your experiences and interests? Why are those stories important to you? 
    • What images will you include to represent you to others or to help tell your personal story?
    • What questions can you ask others to help them to share their stories with you?

***When an infographic is well done, the visuals provide extra details and enhance the overall message shared

REMEMBER

  • You should not be using a translator to write your infographic!
    • This will result in a lower grade because it shows that you are not able to communicate at the level that is expected. 
  • You should check your spelling, verb structures and use of vocabulary
  • If you have to look up any vocabulary words (NOT full sentences with structures you have never learned!), you MUST include them in the glossary on your infographic & be prepared to explain them (in French) to partners
