US French e-copains
Qui suis-je?
Armelle a un nouveau copain
In Armelle a un nouveau copain, you learned various expressions used with the verb être. You reviewed formation of adjectives, and learned where to place them in a sentence. Also, you learned the patterns of several types of irregular adjectives. You can now better describe a person's personality with various adjectives of personality. Finally, you learned to differentiate between using c'est and il / elle est to describe people and things.
Exploration
Explore the following website which deal with locating French-speaking pen pals.
http://www.momes.net/amis/index.html
What are the some of the nationalities of the young people seeking pen pals?
Have you ever had a pen pal from a different country? If so, did he or she speak French?
Application
You are looking for a pen pal! Choose one francophone from the first suggested website. When you have decided with whom you would like to correspond, write a paragraph describing that person using as many adjectives as possible from this lesson. You will be using the verb être and the expressions c'est and il / elle est in your paragraph. In order to introduce yourself to your pen pal, you will then prepare an autoportrait (self-portrait) to send to him or her. Your pen pal will want to know as much about you as you are able to share, both positive and negative! Remember to use as many adjectives as possible.

Renaissance Figure PowerPoint Project
Thoroughly research a figure from the French Renaissance in order to create a graded 3-5 minute power point presentation which will be made before the class. Two of the slides in the presentation will have all appropriate accents added once they are projected onto the white board. Please be prepared in advance to choose two slides for this purpose. The last component of the presentation is a creative activity designed to test/exercise the comprehension of the rest of the class on at least three concepts or pieces of information delivered in the presentation.
*Students will research, prepare and present in pairs, sharing equal work loads.
* Power point slides should have a maximum of two well crafted and informative present tense sentences each. Many visuals are recommended.
* Each power point should be comprised of a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 10 slides. *all writing and presenting will be done in French.
*students will be given a dry-erase marker on the day of presentation so as to make the accent additions to the two slides they have chosen to amend.
*creative comprehension activities may include but are not limited to cross-word puzzles, word searches, fill in the blank-style worksheets, or exercises encouraging other students to speak aloud.
****partners have been predetermined and will be given the opportunity to choose Renaissance figures out of a hat to ensure justice for all!
Partners are as follows:
Janine Chow and Eleanor Lichter
Sarah Fekini and Natasa Trajkovic
Kenneth Gudel and Rachel Latterich
Zoe Tracy and Fearghas Smith
Jack Hanlon and Monica Pastor
Kieran Naughton and Christopher Prijic
Sarah Jurkoic and Danny Wexler
David Hines: see Mme. Webber
Timing: This week’s block periods will be entirely devoted to research of your historic figure, the accent slides and your power point and class activity creation. Monday of next week is reserved for planning and rehearsal of your presentation. The first block period of next week will be comprised of presentations, starting at the very beginning of class.
