Reading Strategies
>> Title / Images (to figure out context)
>> Mots-Amis
1. English -> words that look like English words (e.g. le shopping)
2. French -> familiar words that you know the meaning of (e.g. le courriel, la fille, les stylos)
>> ** Golden rule: READ THE WHOLE SENTENCE. Do not go word by word. **
You can then guess based on the context of the piece and the words that you do know.
This takes practice.
Do not just put the whole article into Google Translate.
That will not help you on reading tests.
4. You highlighted the mots-amis in different colours e.g. English (blue), French (yellow)
5. In groups you answered questions #1-6 (for homework if not finished)
Don't forget to do your daily homework of Duolingo! (This week Tues, Weds, Thurs. Make-up day is Saturday)
Song we listened to: Ma Meilleure - La Fouine
