Bonjour Pairs!

To help kick off our unit on travel and transportation, we are going to begin learning and practicing the associated vocabulary (Grade 8 - Grammar, Language Conventions, and Vocabulary: basic vocabulary (e.g. words associated with transpotation, travel and Writing: produce pieces of writing in a variety of simple forms).

To prepare for your trip, practice translation of vocabulary for basic modes of transportation by taking the translation quiz at
http://www.syvum.com/cgi/online/oatf.cgi/learn/languages/English_French/transport_1.tdf?0 .

Then review your transporation vocabulary (while having some fun!) by playing Hangman at www.syvum.com/learn/vocabulary/French. Click either "transport" link to get to the Hangman games.

Now you're ready for your trip!

Go to http://milvetstravel.net/paris.html for a virtual field trip to Paris, France. Spend some time exploring the city. The following questions must be answered and the tasks completed in your journal:
-dans quelle arrondissement trouve-t-on La Basilique du Sacre-Coeur?

Bon voyage!

La vie d'une classe de francais!

Bonjour classe! As the term goes on, we will be using more and more French in class, not only in lessons but also in our "informal" interactions. A tool you may want to aquaint yourself with to help you in this endeavour is http://www.wordreference.com/fr/ . Once you search a word, add it to your vocabulary list so you can reference it often. Try to use new words every day and watch how quickly you improve!



Bonne chance!
