Français III Devoirs pour la Salle d’Ordinateurs mardi, le 6 mai TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO FINISH COMPUTER WORK! 1. Prepare for the listening portion of your final exam by writing in perfect French the responses to the questions on this file: Listening Prep for Final Exam 2. Époque de l’Histoire de France Presentation - Create a new power point OR prezie presentation for the period in French history that you have chosen. You may prefer the prezzie format since you’ll need to place your époque on a timeline; the link is on our sharepoint page. The required information for this presentation is on our web page in the French III list of documents in the folder entitled “L’Histoire de France”: Époque of French History Research Guide -- Mardi Gras All of your slides should be translated into perfect written French, with all verbs only in present, imperfect, or perfect tenses. You may use online translation help if you wish, but you must be able to explain the use of tenses and other grammar points we are studying in class. Finally, record yourself translating all the French you have written on each slide (except the list of works cited) into perfect English. 3. Projet de Choix – As your final project, you may choose your medium to write a short story in French, using appropriate combinations of present (présent), perfect (passé composé), and imperfect (imparfait) tenses. If you are feeling creative, you may write a fictional short story about characters of your choosing; you may wish, for example, to create a powerpoint cartoon featuring your classroom animaux (See examples in these folders: Les Petits Contes des Animaux; Les Histoires de Famille ). If you prefer a more personal subject, write an autobiography or biography of at least 5 paragraphs describing how you or someone you know came to be who, what, and where you are (or he or she is) today. You may also put on a café, or write and act out a brief skit or play, or write and perform a song. Before you begin to write your story, however, be sure to have it approved by Mademoiselle Owen. 4.
