GRADE 7 AND 8 FRENCH

Bonne et heureuse année 2014! This week in French class students have been designing and creating a postcard to send to me from a place or activity during their winter break. They were taught the proper format for a postcard and were given the information to include in the address, date and salutation. We also brainstormed possibilities for the 2-3 sentences they need to write in the present tense. Students are to colour the stamp and the picture. Any students who did not complete the assignment in class must have it done for Friday, Jan. 10th. It was sent home for completion today.

Note: 8B postcards will be sent home on Thursday and will be due Mon. Jan. 13 (extra time because of cancelled class due to LPCI visit).

7B postcards were collected at the end of class today. They had extra class periods to work on it.
