Français 11  Block 2

To be ready for tomorrow

Start thinking about your end of unit project for “Qui suis-je?”  & collecting what you will need.

You will be given class time each day this week & next to work independently on your project. It must be fully completed and handed in at the beginning of class on Friday, April 10th.

Brainstorming ideas tonight will enable you to come to class prepared to work. Bring any supplies you might want to use in class. Start looking for/organizing your visuals. 

• You will be creating a pamphlet, book or timeline of your life with an emphasis on culture & the experiences and people that have shaped your identity. You may print copies of personal photos, draw, use visuals found online, in magazines, etc, that support your text (ex. images of food, books, movies, places …)
• Your text will show learning of French 9, 10 and 11 vocabulary and language structures 
  • Emphasis on being able to use the past & present tenses accurately 
  • Emphasis on French 11 expectations (especially new vocabulary, well-connected sentences, more description and sequencing of events)
• The visuals you choose should
  • enhance the message
  • provide opportunity to share extra details that aren’t in the text
  • help your partners to understand what you want to share (when you use them in partner conversations)
  • add to the overall aesthetic and creativity demonstrated in your project

Consider the following 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 cultural activities do you regularly participate in? (Think about music, film, tv, literature, art, etc. Ask yourself “Is Social Media cultural? Why or why not?”)
  • What details can you share about ‘deep culture’ or the more ‘invisible aspects’ of culture that shape your 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?
