--------

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).

http://youtu.be/waYkyOiMZgE

- 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. 

Aujourd'hui

1. We re-played the Kahoot from the beginning- you all did a lot better after having worked on your être house!

2. We did more practice conjugating with être (making sure to add agreement!) and then deciding whether to use être or avoir when conjugating in a variety of cases.
"Is it in your être house?"
- si oui, on utilise ÊTRE (don't forget agreement!)
- si non, on utilise AVOIR (no agreement!) 
* remember, most verbs use avoir

3. I handed back your avoir passé composé quiz. We went over the answers together. If you did poorly, and feel like you now know how to conjugate passé composé after having more practice- come and see me! You can show me that you know it! 

4. I handed back your reading test on La La Land (the critique.) If you would like to go over the answers using the text, come and see me and we can go over it together.

5. You had the rest of the class to work on your être houses. Use the previous 2 posts to help you. 
*Don't forget the AUX+PP, and AGREEMENT 

À REMETTRE DEMAIN (due tomorrow)

Agreement = adding e/s if the subject is fem/plural

Devoirs: We will be doing more practice of our own critiques tomorrow, so review some of the vocabulary + Duolingo + Être house finish 

Answers under the cut

Être house (reminders)
 - must include all verbs
- visual representation of all verbs (e.g. tomber = have a person falling) **please be classroom appropriate.** I am not marking you on your drawings, but I will be looking to see that your drawings represent what the verbs mean.
- write sentences for each verb in the passé composé (être) on the back. Should represent what is happening on the front. (don’t forget agreement!) e.g. Dora est tombée
 - Theme should be movie/tv show themed, BE CREATIVE! The sillier you are, the more likely you are to remember the verbs. This is a memory aid for you!
- Colour: it is not a requirement that your être house be completely coloured in, but it should have some visual interest (so that elements stand out)

Due date: Wednesday. (You will have some time on Tuesday to work on it- please plan your work out accordingly)

I will provide a vocabulary sheet (so you do not need to memorize all of the m/f/pl of clothing) however, I will only be providing the masculine forms of the adjectives, so you will need to know the feminine/plural forms AND know if it is a part of BAGS(O) or not. **

I will be looking for correct use of...
> ADJ placement

*Colours need to agree with object it is describing, fabrics/patters do not, as they have a preposition (en/à)

e.g. une jupe noire (adding e because jupe is feminine)
une jupe à pois (pois does not change)

Il/Elle a l'air https://quizlet.com/203090814/ilelle-a-lair-flash-cards/
Il/Elle a besoin de https://quizlet.com/139475814/les-vetements-flash-cards/

e.g.
 “As-tu faim” “Oui, j’ai faim” ou “Non, je n’ai pas faim” "Merci, au revoir!"

I am pushing the avoir expressions quiz to Thursday 
- know avoir conjugation (present) = j’ai, tu as, il/elle/on a, nous avons… 
- know what they mean!
Reminder: avoir needs to be conjugated with the subject, but the rest of the expression has no agreement with the subject!
e.g. Nous avons faim (correct!) Nous avons faims (incorrect!)
Elles ont froid (correct!) Elles ont froides (incorrect!)

You had some time to look at new vocabulary: https://quizlet.com/83835135/les-tissus-matieres-materials-design-de-t-shirt-flash-cards/

Devoirs: Duolingo

We did some activities around the movie "Paris à tout prix" (present tense, negative, reading comprehension- question words, asking questions, prepositions)

I gave you a new goal setting sheet for this unit with the grammar points we will be exploring!

You learned avoir expressions!
Some expressions in French take avoir, making it hard to translate!
e.g. J'ai froid = I'm cold (literally: I have cold)

We finished watching the movie "Paris à tout prix"

You compared and contrasted it to the movie "Né quelque part" 

in a Venn diagram, and expressed which one you liked better. 

We will be doing an activity with the movie next week.

Devoirs: Duolingo

Bon weekend! 

We finished watching the presentations today. If you have not uploaded your video to YouTube, please do so by FRIDAY at the latest. If you have already uploaded the video- please do not remove it. I want to finish marking them and possibly keep some as examples for next year!

We did Entrevue Flash

You reflected on the following:
How do you feel about entrevue flash compared to the beginning of the semester?

- 1 thing you are happy about

- 1 thing you need to work on

(ABOUT ENTREVUE FLASH)

We reviewed the difference between préférer -verb and préféré(e)(s) -adj

Je préfère les fleurs (préférer)

Ma fleur préférée est…. (adj)

We started the movie:
> You looked at the movie poster and made some guesses about the characters and the plot
> We watched ~30 minutes of the movie

This film bridges the units together: La Francophonie + La Mode 

You will compare this movie to "Né Quelque part" and complete some activities on it. 

Devoirs: Duolingo

> We listened to the presentations today
> You finished your passports
> You filled in the bottom of the feedback frame (and handed it in)
> Then we looked at some clothing vocabulary, as the next unit is on LA MODE!

Devoirs: Duolingo

The interview (partner) project expectations:

The interview (partner) project expectations:
> You will be interviewing an artist or athlete at Les Jeux de la Francophonie (Côte d'Ivoire)
> You will also be creating a persona, and be interviewed.
> You will be representing a participating country 

> Interview Questions: 
*Present / Futur Proche
*3 types of questions (Inversion, Intonation, Est-ce que)
*Question words (Combien, Pourquoi, Quand...)
*Relate to the person being interviewed (e.g. athlete being asked about sports)
*1 or  2 questions that relates to the person's country (e.g. food/climate/languages... etc.)
*use VOUS

> Interview Answers: 
*Present/Futur Proche
*Positively (oui) and negatively (non)
*Please respond in complete sentences
*use JE
*varied vocabulary

You are showing me what you know and have learned this unit. This is why we are avoiding the past tense (you will learn that later this semester!)

> Each interview should last 1 minute
> You will be getting a speaking mark for this.
> It must be in video format: this will give you more of an opportunity to practice, re-do takes, still "present" in front of the class, but not live!

Some options for the video:

Interview question written on screen with voice-over, then cut to person being interviewed

Interview question said live by interviewer, then cut to person being interviewed

I do not recommend a "live interview" 

This is where you set-up a trip-pod and both speak back and forth.

The sound/quality tends to be better in the two examples described above, 

and it will be easier to re-do takes if one of you makes a mistake.

HOWEVER, if your heart is set on a live interview and you can make it work...

go for it! 

If you have another interview style that you want to try/suggest, just ask me about it :)

> updated due date: WEDNESDAY APRIL 5th.
* Thursday: be assigned partner/create your persona/pick country/work on passport.
* Friday: figure out questions and answers, write them all down, put through BonPatron, ask for help, practice.

* Monday: Finish questions/answers, begin filming.

* Tuesday: Finish filming, edit it, upload to class YouTube account (info to be given)
