--------

26th - 28th (JUNE)

We will be watching a movie (and doing some fun activities) :) 

Final Speaking Presentation!

Pt. 1: Introduction
Bonjour je m'appelle ___________ 

et voici ma critique pour le film __________ (name of movie)

C'est un ___________ (genre).

Pt. 2: Critique

Choose 5-6: elements to critique- a mix! Talk about the dialogue or special effects or voiceovers, or soundtrack... whatever you want! This should be in the passé composé - if you would like, you can use imparfait instead of passé composé for être : était instead of a été, étaient instead of ont été.

>> Must include at least 1 negative structure (can include format learned, "MAIS...") 
>> Can use 1 expression from the matching sheet (your whole presentation should not be made from that sheet.)
** This does not have to be a super long 10 minute critique! 5-6 sentences, using vocabulary and structures we've studied!! I would recommend adding a "parce que" or two, just to make it a true critique. Come and see me if you are having trouble with this! I want to see what you know and what you have learned from this unit. ** 

Pt. 3: Conclusion

Choose 1: 
Je suis parti(e) avant la fin du film (negative critique)
Je suis tombé(e) amoureuse(eux) de ... ce film/la musique/l'histoire... etc. (positive critique)

J'ai donné ___#1-5___ étoiles à ______. (name of movie).

5 Avant toi

- Entrevue Flash (make sure you are practicing at home as well, and using the time I give you in class)

- We finished the Everything Everything reading (with a few comprehension questions)

- Negative activity (Simon Cowell)

- A/B speaking activity using movie posters. Partner A says something positive, partner B says the same thing in a negative way. Switching roles. Then we did a kind of 'game' where you took turns making each other's sentences negative, and adding new sentence- first one to give up/not think of something loses!

e.g.
A: J'ai adoré les personnages.
B: Je n'ai pas adoré les personnages, mais, j'ai apprécié les effets spéciaux.
A: Je n'ai pas apprécié les effets spéciaux, mais, j'ai aimé la bande sonore.

- We watched 2 trailers and critiqued them.
"2 days, 1 night" (French movie starring Marion Cotillard!)
"Ernest et Célestine"

Aujourd'hui
- Entrevue Flash: Attention: Je préfère (not je préférer)
- We played a few more round of "Les indices"
- Read more of the Everything Everything critique (last paragraph for homework)
- Handed back p.c. être test

You had some time to practice Entrevue Flash (your final assessment for Entrevue Flash will be the 22nd and 23rd of June)

We watched the trailer from yesterday, "Everything Everything" ("Absolument tout" en français) and using our reading skills, we read the first three paragraphs of a critique on the movie. We will continue this next week.

Questions:
1. What is the paragraph about? (theme, characters, acting, cinematography...)
2. Is is a positive critique? A negative critique? Both?
3. Evidence! (How do you know that it is positive/negative? Any key words?)

We then played the "les indices" game- most classes only had time for one round, so we will continue this next week.

Today we...

- shared our être houses

- practiced conjugating with être

- entrevue flash

You have a quiz tomorrow on passé composé être

*reminders:

- aux + pp (you need both!)

- pp needs agreement with subject! 

- be careful of irregular verbs! 

Devoirs: Duolingo, study/practice for quiz, être house will be collected tomorrow.
