End of semester timeline: 

tomorrow – end of unit interpretive listening & reading 

June 17th & 18th – partner conversations & data collection (inquiry project)

• • Questions written in English only … try for a variety of tenses (past, present, future with ‘aller’)
  • Decide with your partner which questions are essential in case you don’t have enough time to ask all of them
  • Don’t use a translator! Unfamiliar vocab and structures not yet taught will lower your overall grade.
  • Have a sheet of paper and an easy method of recording info during conversations 

June 21st double block – Presentations & more conversations … last chance to demonstrate your language skills! 

What did you learn about your classmates, their habits and their overall health from your conversations? What conclusions did you and your partner come to about your main inquiry question? 

• • Think about the connections between data you collected & consider grouping information into ‘chunks’ or subtopics so that you are not presenting a random list of facts
  • You have to ‘make sense’ of the information that you collected and present your findings and thoughts/opinions about them to the group
  • Notes written in English only
  • Be strategic with word choice and tenses to show both previous and more current learning
  • Speak clearly with some confidence and an attention to pronunciation
