French II - Weekend work 9/5-9/8 - DUE MONDAY 9/8

Bonjour élèves!!!

Just a quick reminder that next Wednesday, I will launch the GOOGLE CLASSROOM for you. I feel that there are just TOO many different avenues for you to work with in French right now between RenWeb, Our blog, etc. Google Classroom will encompass all these things!

For the weekend - Familiarize yourself with the Quel Appétit vocabulary! See the link below for the video on the vocab. You may answer the questions as the video progresses. Some of you have already completed this, if so, no worries - no need to do it again! There will NOT be a grade for this vocab over the weekend - though you might find a few items on your Socrative Quiz.
QUEL APPETIT VIDEO

THE MAIN EVENT: 

Watch the EDUCANON video that reviews "SAVOIR et CONNAÎTRE", VENIR and the Passé Récent, and the rest of our 1A lesson.
Go to EDUCANON
username is @students.ncchristian.org email
password is nccsfrench

You will have a SOCRATIVE quiz based on this on Monday!

Remember, if you are completing your EDUCANON on a phone, it will seem like it's glitching, when in fact, as the video pauses, just click "done" in the top, left corner. It will take you to your question. Once you've answered it, it will continue with the video.

If you have ANY problems, please email me immediately! I will be out of pocket this Saturday as I have family in town, but I will do my best to email/tweet you back ASAP!

Here's a PUBLIC LINK for those who are having technical difficulties.
(write/email your responses)

MERCI BEAUCOUP!!!

Mme Dignon!

French II - Vocab & Passé Recent

Bonjour élèves!!!
Please find a link to our FOOD VOCAB from UNIT 1!!!
QUEL APPETIT!!!

IN CLASS, you will complete a quizlet activity to review these terms!!!

NOW, we began a quick discussion during our last class about the PASSÉ RÉCENT!
Please find below more information regarding this tense!!


The passé récent describes an event that just happened (literally just happened at the moment of our speaking). The passé récent is usually used ONLY in speaking conversation and rarely is used in written conversation. It is formed by the following steps - Click on the picture below!


In the video, you can see the conjugation for the verb "VENIR" and it's associated verbs such as
DEVENIR = to become (in the Passé composé - DRMRSVANDERTRAMPP)
REVENIR = to come back (in the Passé composé - DRMRSVANDERTRAMPP)
TENIR = to hold (in the Passé composé -use AVOIR)
MAINTENIR = to maintain (in the Passé composé -use AVOIR)
RETENIR = to keep/retain/remember (in the Passé composé -use AVOIR)

These verbs follow the same conjugation pattern as "VENIR" in the present tense.

LOGIN to your EDUCANON account and watch the video bulb assigned. Answer the questions associated with the video.
