Then I gave you a methodology worksheet to complete at home.

Hi guys,

today we finished studying Michelle Obama's campaign about health and sports. Here is the transcript you wrote in the lesson:

    Experts tell us that kids need 60 minutes of activity a day to grow up healthy. And we know that regular physical activity boosts kids' concentration and creativity. And it is even linked to improve academic performance.

    Best of all, moving around is just plain fun. And one of the most fun ways to get moving is by exploring America's great outdoors. No matter where you live, there are places near you to get out and get active: from biking around your neighborhood to playing tag or capture the flag in an urban park, from hiking on a mountain trail to paddling around a lake or catching an early morning wave.
   
    The great outdoors is America's first and best playground. So what are you waiting for? Grab a backpack and get moving outside with your family today.

    For more information on where to go and what to do outside, visit letsmove.gov

NB:
a piece of advice = un conseil   /  advice = des conseils
a piece of fruit = un fruit   /   fruit = des fruits

Finally, we started a grammar exercise about how to give advice. Click below to do it again:

Hi guys,

today we first worked on recaptilating yesterday's lesson. You had some difficulties but many tried to remember anyway... You should learn your lessons BETTER! Come on!

Then we continued with a memory exercise. You had 3 minutes to look at some sentences, understand them and memorize them. In the end here are the sentences you made:

The family should spend time together with a family park day.
Parents should involve the family in household chores.
The family should celebrate special occasions with sport, like volleyball, a hike, or a  frisbee match.
Parents should issue a family sport challenge.

Grammar:

Attention à bien construire une phrase! Il faut toujours pour donner un conseil:

un SUJET + un AUXILIAIRE + un VERBE.

L'auxiliaire pour le conseil = SHOULD
L'auxiliaire pour le reproche = SHOULDN'T

NB: le mot "advice" n'est pas comptable en anglais comme "fruit" ou "vegetables". On doit ajouter l'expression: "a piece of..." pour compter les unités si besoin.

Ex: two pieces of advice / 5 pieces of fruit

Homework:

- bien apprendre toutes les leçons sur "Let's Move" ( = comment présenter un document et le décrire, + structures du conseil/reproche, phrases faites en cours, nouveau vocabulaire). Il y aura sans doute un contrôle.

- faire 3 phrases exprimant un conseil et 3 phrases exprimant un reproche concernant sa famille (réelle ou imaginaire).

Hi guys,

today we first corrected your exercise about healthy menus. Here are some important words to remember:

- a well-balanced menu / a healthy menu

- ham = meat = protein

- cereals = grain

- milk = dairy product

- apple crumble = sugar

- pasta = starchy food

Then we continued the lesson with the presentation and short description of the Let's Move logo. Here is what you said: 

This ad campaign entitled "Let's Move" is from a website of the American government (letsmove.org). Michelle Obama, the First Lady, wants to encourage people to do sports. She wants to motivate people to have healthy habits. The campaign is targeted at children in particular.

Hi guys,

today we first made a vocabulary recap about vegetables and classified them into 3 categories ("transparent", "compound", "other").

Then we continued the lesson with this question: "How often....?" = frequency

You had to describe your typical menus for the different meals of the day:

- for breakfast

- for lunch

- for tea time

- for dinner

Echelle des adverbes de fréquence:

Finally, I asked you to invent "Mr Crazy's menus" for every moment of the week.

Ex:

Mr Crazy often has cabbage and snakes for breakfast.

He hardly ever has milk or cereals. It's disgusting!

You have to finish this activity at home.

______________________

Homework:

- sur feuille, vous devez décrire les repas un peu fou de "Mr Crazy". Vous devez faire 5 phrases par moment de la journée et varier l'utilisation des adverbes de fréquence. Au total, vous devrez donc produire 20 phrases. Ce travail sera ramassé.
