Le françaisWe have just finished our Petit Nicolas Unit.
What a blast! For the month of April, we will be reviewing and using the Imperfect tense. Since it involves the past we will be doing activities related to the following subjects: - Childhood (Quand j'étais petit(e)) - Bullying (L'intimidation) LES BDs (Les Bandes Dessinées) We are also exploring the European fascination of comics. Examples: TinTin, Lucky Luke, Astérix We will learn about the late cartoonist Charlie Hedbo who was murdered earlier this year in Paris due to his controversial publications. (Freedom of speech) We will be analyzing superhero comics quite critically to develop theories based on stereotypes. The class will get an opportunity to create their own none stereotype character. We may even watch a traditional BD in french. C'est génial! Pour la prochaine unité nous explorerons la culture francophone en prenant un coup d'oeil à la Carnival renommée mondiale du Québec.
Nous nous joindrons avec la classe de Mlle Moore pour se livrer à la recherche, les jeux et les fêtes traditionnels ,les repas et autres événements passionnants reliant au culture Québecois. For the next unit we with be exploring the francophone culture by taking a closer look at Quebec's world renown winter festival "Bonhomme Carnival". We will be joining up with Mlle Moore's class to indulge in research, traditional games and parties, and other exciting elements related to the Quebec and French culture. To finish off the month...

For the month of November... We will be learning the verb tense: PASSÉ COMPOSÉ *Superman may need to help us out We will also be watching the french film Les Choristes and completing task related activities and exercises for the next couple of weeks. The film is a french drama directed by Christophe Barratier. The film is about a new teacher at a severely administered boys' boarding school who works to positively effect the students' lives through music. It just so happens that we start music this month, coincidence? I think not! Hehe |
