Bonjour! I did NOT assign homework for the week-end because you should all be studying for your third exam which will be this Monday, April 30.

Below the documents appear as follows:

1) Answers to the study guide we went over today in class
2) A second study guide-- we will go over it together during the out-of-class study session on Sunday
3) Answers to the second study guide in case you cannot make it to the study session on Sunday

The out-of-class review will be Sunday at 6:30 pm. Meet in my office between 6:20-6:29 and at 6:30 we will search for an empty classroom in which we will review.

We are so close to the end! Keep your heads up and let's all finish strong! Bon week-end!

The extra credit passé composé exercise that I handed out today will be due at the beginning of class Friday, April 27 along with the final draft of your second composition. You must turn in a draft on Friday, whether it is a corrected second draft or the original first draft.

Below is the link to the passé composé song we listened to today in class that parodies Rihanna's umbrella song. Enjoy! Be learning those past participles (especially the irregular ones) for the test!!

Bonjour! I have assigned 1 exercise on My French Lab for you to do by Wednesday--5-12.

Don't forget to correct the second draft of your composition (if you want) the due date for ALL final drafts is April 27. If you have any questions about the correction suggestions I made, please feel free to make an appointment with me or come by during my office hours. If you plan to do this, you need to make your appointment as soon as possible because my available times are filling up quickly.

Bonjour tout le monde! I have assigned 4 exercises on My French Lab for Monday--5-4, 5-5, 5-6, and 5-7.

There will also be a vocabulary quiz on Monday over chapter 5 vocab words on pages 182-183.

Don't forget, your second composition is due again on Friday, April 27. If you are content with your grade on the first draft, you can turn that back into me and it will count as your second-draft grade as well; if you would like to try to improve your grade, you can make the corrections I have suggested and return a second draft to me which I will evaluate and use that as your second grade. I STRONGLY encourage all of you to fix your mistakes and turn in a corrected second draft. This will help you to understand what mistakes you made and why they were wrong which will help you to improve your writing overall. If you have any questions about the corrections I made, please do not hesitate to contact me or come by during my office hours, I am here and happy to help!!

Below are the correction codes I used on your compositions: please take careful note of what each is asking you to change.

Bonjour tout le monde! I have assigned 1 exercise as homework on My French Lab-- 4-11.

Don't forget to sign up for your oral exam if you have not already done so! DO IT ASAP. You may sign up with Randi Butler at Kimpel 204B, or Doug Miller at Kimpel 513. BE SURE to sign up on the French 1003 list and write down your time and date. There are no make-ups, so if you miss your appointment, you may not take your oral exam.

I have decided not to give a quiz this week, perhaps on Monday we will take it.

A mercredi!
