2. Game: Then we played a game in teams with the whiteboards based on the conjugations we are learning:

If you don't know the -er verbs, être, and avoir, you need to come to tutoring and/or study on your own. See me or a classmate for support.

3. Skits: We had a little bit of time at the end to continue working on the skits which we will present on Friday.
