2013-2014
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:
“Picture story PPT” (8 slides minimum-10 slides max)
Create a “Picture story PPT from photos/postcards of camp, travels or any other part of your summer vacation. Do not put ANY writing on the slides . Practice narrating a story in French about your adventures. Upon return to school you will give an oral presentation without notes, showing the pictures while you talk about what you were doing; you should try to be as descriptive and detailed as possible (and creative and entertaining as well).
(60 points for the picture story PPT, and 40 points for the Presentation)
II. LISTENING ASSIGNMENTS
1. Immerse yourself in French. Have fun with the language and watch Le Petit Nicolas on YouTube. Watch three shows of your choosing and write the words phrases and sentences you can understand. Watching it more than once or pausing and playing the video over and over will help you understand more. Choose one episode and summarize it French. Scroll down and find a copy of the worksheet needed to complete the assignment.

SAMPLE VERB REVIEW SITES
We will spend the first few days of class reviewing verb tenses in French. At this stage, you should be comfortable with the following: présent, passé composé, imparfait, and future . Please spend some time this summer reviewing the 4 tenses mentioned above for regular and irregular verbs (common verbs i.e. aller, faire, avoir etc.). Visit the following websites for help with these conjugations. You will find several video clips explaining the tenses as well as a few practice exercises. These links are not required, only available as a resource. Feel free to use notes, and other websites to review. You can expect a verb test on the third day of school.
