1. (Pas de travail à la cloche aujourd'hui)
Because we were reviewing for the exam and we had guests, we skipped our normal bell work. (The guests only came by during 2nd block.)

2. Word list

I highlighted a number of vocabulary words and phrases that are particularly important for succeeding on the listening section for tomorrow's test. See the document below.

3. Conversations with French guests

We had 6 French students who are here for the week visit our class for most of the block. They started by introducing themselves. Then we formed small groups of 4. Each French student joined a group and we asked them questions in French to learn more about them.

4. Listening Practice

While the 6 visitors went outside to prepare something to share with you, we did a practice listening test for our French exam tomorrow.

5. French Slang, etc.

The 6 visitors taught us 6 slang words that are good to know when talking with French young people:

une caisse – car (voiture)

aller en boîte – go to a nightclub

un bahut – a school

un fute – un pantalon

des pompes – shoes

un pieux – a bed

Then we just continued our discussion about various interests, cultural differences, concerns, etc.

We created a story together using the above structures. The story roughly goes as follows. If you were absent, please read and try to comprehend.

Il y a un garçon. Il s'appelle Joe. Il y a une fille. Elle s'appelle Janie. Joe veut manger avec Janie. Il demande, "Est-ce que tu veux manger avec moi?" Elle lui dit, "Oui."

Ensemble, ils vont au restaurant. Ils vont à Maggiano's. C'est un restaurant italien. Ils veulent manger à Maggiano's mais il y a un problème. Ils ne trouvent pas de table libre. Il y a beaucoup de gens au restaurant.

Il y a un couple qui mange au restaurant. Le garçon s'appelle Jake et la fille s'appelle Rosa. Ils mangent ensemble. Jake mange des spaghettis et Rosa mange de la pizza. Quand ils finissent, le serveur arrive. Rosa dit, "L'addition, s'il vous plaît."

Le serveur prend les assiettes. Il retourne avec l'addition. Il donne l'addition à Rosa. Jake dit, "C'est combien?" Rosa lui dit, "Cinquante dollars. Je paie." Jake dit, "Non, c'est moi qui paie." Ils quittent le restaurant et ils rentrent.

Maintenant, la table est libre, mais Joe et Janie ont déjà quitté le restaurant. Ils vont à un autre restaurant. Ils vont à un restaurant à Paris. Il s'appelle Chez Louis. C'est un restaurant typique français. Ils trouvent une table libre.
