Hi guys,

today you had to work with separate documents but with the same goal: reading a text and finding new vocabulary.

You did quite a good job on the whole and understood a lot of things. Here is the lesson you wrote down:

Lesson: Techniques de compréhension

- les mots transparents
ex: asparagus -> Je reconnais le mot français: "asperge"

- la déduction
ex: parsnip / turnip -> Je reconnais le mot français le plus proche dans la liste: "panais"; j'associe panais et "navet" qui sont des légumes racines proches.

- la composition des mots
ex:
cauliflower -> je reconnais le mot "flower"
egg plant -> quel légume peut ressembler à "une plante oeuf"...?
red-skinned potatoes -> je lis les mots composés de droite à gauche (des pommes de terre à la peau rouge).
_______________________
Homework:
- indiquer pour chaque légume quelle technique vous avez utilisée pour trouver sa traduction. Mettez cette indication sur votre feuille de travail (Orange, Purple, White, Red, ...).
- apprendre la leçon et le vocabulaire.

Hi guys,

today we started to study a new topic: Health and Sports.

We analysed an ad campaign from New Zealand to talk about the problem.

Here is the lesson:

The document is a campaign. It is a poster.
It depicts / represents a woman in the middle.
She is eating salad.

In the top left-hand corner, there is the slogan: "Eat your colours everyday".
At the bottom, there is the caption: "5 + a day". The goal is to encourage people to have healthy habits.

Choreography: Localiser un élément dans une image.

On the right / On the left
At the top / At the bottom
In the middle / In the background

___________________________

Homework:

- apprendre la leçon.

- connaître parfaitement la "chorégraphie des prépositions" ON / AT / IN

- Attention, si les personnes qui sont interrogées ou qui se portent volontaires ne connaissent pas parfaitement leur leçon, vous serez mis en devoir.

Hi guys,

today we first reviewed how to express what you like and dislike in English and then you took your final test for this sequence.

Let's hope your marks are not going to be too low.

Unfortunately, your behaviour still needs improvement...

Homework:

- réviser votre leçon, en particulier, comme graduer l'expression de vos goûts en anglais.

Hi everyone,

today we talked about your ideal teacher. We tried to compare him/her with students from this chart to see who he/she would be most alike.

Think about "graduation des adjectifs" + "too / not... either" not to repeat yourself.

You said you would like your ideal teacher to be extremely patient and nice too but not very hard-working or talkative either. It would be cool if he were also a little clumsy.

Next we talked about your tastes and activities you like doing or that you don't like doing.

Click here to see the pictures of all the activities we commented upon: 

We wrote some grammar rules in the note book when you speak about taste:

Les verbes de goût (ex.: like) sont toujours suivis d'un verbe en -ing.

Ex:

I like playing soccer.
I don't like going to the dentist's.

Homework:

- p. 17 de votre livre. Faire 10 phrases au total pour dire ce que vous aimer faire ou pas. Vous devez utiliser toutes les structures présentes au moins une fois (aidez-vous des vignettes au centre du coeur p. 17 pour parler de vos activités préférées).

Hello guys,

useless to say that you behaved in a way that was profitable for no one and the result was: I was forced to give a surprise test on "how to introduce yourself"... Pathetic!

Then, after correcting your homework exercise, we continued the lesson with an audio document entitled: "Summer Review". You had to identify words within the document and therefore the possible topic.

You can listen to the document here again:

Here is the list of words you got:

1- David Cameron / fire/ Prime Minister

2- wife / visit / hospital

3- Olympic Games

4- 3 members / 2 years / president

5- speech / no one (x3) / country /

6- Neil Armstrong / first man / go to the moon / engineer / astronaut / died / date: 19....?
