French Writing!

 In Français, students invented a creature and then wrote detailed step-by-step directions how to draw it.

Then, another student read and followed the directions to draw the creature.

Next, students in another grade 6 class read and followed the directions to draw the creature.

How clear were the written directions? 

How closely could someone else recreate the creature?

Here are the results!

CFOO!

 In Français, it's time for our next CFOO (Le Club Fabuleux des Orateurs et Oratrices)! 

This is a public speaking "club" that will help students improve their oral French skills through short speeches.

This time around, students can choose any one of the presentation options that they have not already presented. They will prepare their short oral presentation, fulfilling all of the criteria (listed on the pages they have in their binder).

Students should also keep in mind eye contact, volume and expression during their presentation.

The CFOO Presentations will take place on Wednesday, May 24th.
