FRENCH III SUMMER ASSIGNMENT
Le but (goal) cet été est de ne pas perdre ou oublier ce que vous avez appris pendant l’année. C’est
important que vous continuiez à écrire, à écouter et à parler français pendant l’été. Je vous
donnerez du travail à faire qui vous aidera à vous préparer pour la classe l’année qui vient.
N’attendez pas à la dernière minute pour commencer le travail. Vous devez le faire tout le long de
l’été. Je veux que le Français soit partie de votre vie quotidienne. Travaillez un peu chaque
semaine !

I. SPEAKING ASSIGNMENTS:
Be prepared to make a 2 minute presentation in French when you get back. Remember, PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT
so practice speaking in French in front of the mirror or practice with a French classmate. You will be able to use one

B. Mes buts pour cette année scolaire/ My goals for this school year
C. Qui suis-je? / Who am I?
Make 2 note cards with your name and your 5 bullet points. You will turn both cards in to me upon return to
class. You will get one note card back when you present. Presentations begin on the 2nd day of school!
II. LISTENING ASSIGNMENTS
