TOC

TOC stands for Teacher on call, a very important person in our school district.  This week, I have been away because of a swollen throat and sore voice.  I am very grateful to my TOC's who have made it possible for me to rest, knowing my students are in good hands!

Grade 9 students should be finishing Ma Vie En Rose, and we will be discussing this film and its relevance as soon as I can speak again.  Also, you should be studying the verbs pouvoir and vouloir, which mean, to be able and to want, respectively.  During this unit, you will be required to memorize a dialogue and present it with a partner!

Grade 8 students should be finishing Les choristes.  We will be discussing this film, and evaluating aspects of it.  You should be studying your new vocabulary and dialogue for Unite 4.

Thank you, students, for your kindness and your attention to Mme. McGowan, my TOC.

We are on to our next project:

Why Learn French?

This is a poster, an essay, a poem/song/rap, which may be written in English citing as many reasons as possible as to why we should learn French.  Remember to keep track of the websites you have visited, and keep track of those from which you received your information!

This little project is due by the end of this week!
Bonne chance!

Reminder:  bring your supplies to class, as you will have class time for this!
