He was a guide:
-> He guided them where to hunt.
He was a friend:

-----------------
He was the creator of Thanksgiving.

Then we continued the lesson with a presentation of modern Thanksgiving traditions. We had time to speak about:

Hi guys,
today we finished trying to understand how to use the two tenses in English.
We completed your worksheet and we made a quick recap of what you had to know before your test.
Finally, I revealed the mystery picture to you. An old photo of New York City taken from the harbour with a view on the Statue of Liberty.

Hi guys,
today we finished talking about the health quiz and you agreed with nearly all the questions included.
You practised answering these questions with a full answer. You had to be careful where to place the adverbial complement.
Ex:
How often do you do sport?
-> I do sport once a week. (complément rejeté en fin de phrase)
-> I often do sport. (complément avant le verbe)
Download the worksheet here again:
Recap: Les mots interrogatifs
- how many hours / how many times / ...
- how long ...
- how often ...
- what sport / what vegetables ...
- which fruit / ...
- who
- when
-> les mots interrogatifs peuvent se combiner avec d'autres mots (ex: hours) pour apporter une précision à la question.

Hi guys,
today we finished working on the questions of the quiz about health.
Then we continued the lesson about Thanksgiving, studying the text about Squanto.
We focused our attention on the verbs in the preterite (past tense), both on regular verbs (with /ed/) and irregular verbs (without /ed/).
You had to classify the verbs according to their pronunciation.
Here is what you could have written:
Squanto was a Native American. He was from the Patuxet tribe.
He had many roles for the pilgrims:
- he was a helper = he helped them to catch fish.
- he was a guide = he showed / he guided them where to hunt.
- he was a teacher = he taught them how to plant corn.
- he was a friend = he reconciled the Native Americans and the Pilgrims.
| [t] | [id] | [d] |
| help
talk | guide
invite
harvest
decide
... | reconcile
live
call
show
...
|
Irregular verbs:
- come -> came
- be -> was / were
- teach -> taught
....

Hi guys,
today we studied some grammar (once in a while... it can't hurt, can it?).
We determined the construction and also the use of the two present tenses in English.
You will need to be able to choose the correct tense (and the correct form of the verb) for:
- The description of actions in a picture (Present Be+ing)
- The narration of events (Present Simple)
You can dowload the worksheet here again:

Hi guys,
today we did a follow-up lesson about Thanksgiving traditions today. In groups, you had pieces of a puzzle to assemble and then keep secret for the class to guess. You had to make at least 5 sentences about those pictures.
They were all different and all about an important modern Thanksgiving tradition:
- Macy's Parade in New York City.
- Black Friday, the day of sales just after Thanksgiving.
- Thanksgiving football match and special commercials.

Hi guys,
today we dedicated the lesson to rehearsing your roles for the pair work about travelling to an English-speaking country.
We also paid attention to the way questions were to be asked = either with a falling intonation (down) or rising intonation (up).
Here is the rule:
- lorsque la question commence par un mot interrogatif comme "where" / "when" / "How long" / ..., l'intonation descend. ex: "Where are you from?"
- lorsque la question commence par un auxiliaire comme "be" (conjugué), "do", "may", "can", ... l'intonation monte. ex: "May I see your passport, please?"
You need to know by heart the meaning of your WH- words:
who / where / when / what / how long / how many / ...
________________________
Homework:
- corriger le devoir obligatoirement si vous avez eu moins de 20/40 et facultativement si vous avez eu plus. Utiliser une feuille séparée pour la correction et écrire toutes les réponses en s'aidant du cahier si besoin.
- préparez votre jeu de rôle. Répétez bien les deux rôles et faites attention à la prononciation des questions quand vous répétez le rôle de "customs officer".
