1. We reviewed a bit what we talked about last day, and then sang along to the African countries with French-speakers (see previous post) as you filled in a goal-setting sheet telling you the grammar points you will be learning. (Keep this in your binders! You will complete the page at the end of the unit, reflecting on how you did)
2. In table groups you looked for patterns in the following (to try and figure out when to use à/au/aux/en)
Habiter = to live
Elle habite à Surrey
Elle habite à Hawaii (nm)
Elle habite à Ottawa
Elle habite à Cuba (nf)
Elle habite aux États-Unis (nmpl)
Elle habite aux Pays-Bas (nmpl)
Elle habite au Japon (nm)
Elle habite au Portugal (nm)
Elle habite en Écosse (nf)
Elle habite en Ouganda (nm)
Elle habite en Angleterre (nf)
Elle habite en Iran (nm)
We found out:
AUX = plural
À = cities, islands (often has no article-le/la/les)
--
AU = masculine
EN = feminine, or masculine starts with vowel
>> We talked about liaison (vowel/consonant sound)
e.g. aux États-Unis - "O-zeh-ta-zU-nee"
>> We talked about the silent h in habite (and if it's plural, e.g. Elles habitent) the ent is also silent.
3. You filled in the sheet "Où est-ce qu'ils habitent" E.g. (Le Gabon) Les Gabonais habitent au Gabon, we went over the answers.
4. You practiced this orally in pairs, switching roles
Person A: Tu aimes ________? (you like...?)
Person B: Oui! J’habite _______! (I live...)
OR
Oui Je vais ______! (I am going....)
OR
Oui! Je voyage ___________! (I am traveling...)
5. We played a KAHOOT to solidify everything!
(Block B/D- We listened to a song called "C'est la vie" by Khaled, a singer from Algeria! The lyrics are both in French and Arabic. We learned what the Futur Proche is, and you told your group what you were going to do after school)
Devoirs: Duolingo (I am only counting SCHOOL days. Due to the snow and confusion this week, I will be seeing if you completed at least 20XP- 2 days worth of homework. I won't be looking at the days you completed them.)
