5ieme Annee
I hope everyone has had a relaxing and safe Thanksgiving weekend.
I can't believe how fast the year is going already.
We have been busy focusing on the upcoming election. Each student has chosen a political party to research and in groups, have created a poster that will be hung in the school to educate the other students that will be participating in our student vote this Friday. Tomorrow they will begin working on a commercial to promote their party and their platforms. The success criteria is always discussed before we begin an assignment so that students know what there expectations are and how they will be graded.
Reading: We have been focusing on reading strategies, what to do if we don't understand what we are reading. Also, we have been listening to books online and answering comprehension questions: making connections, main idea, inferring, asking questions, what we learned from the passage. We have done this as a class and then individually.
We are still focusing on speaking as MUCH French that we can in class to myself and to their classmates. I have a billet system in place, a positive reinforcement method, that encourages my students to speak French.
Homework: I will be including a Lecture Log, that will be done on a monthly basis, to encourage students to read more often. The student must submit a reading log of 4 books a month, whichever type of book they like. It will be sent home tomorrow with more directions.
