Hi guys,

today we finished correcting your tests thanks to the comic strip. Here is what we said about the characters' feelings and how to express them in a dialogue:

"to be written by ..."

HW: don't forget to review all the year's lessons to be able to take your oral exam this Wednesday or Friday. I also encourage you to make lexical sheets about dialogue and moods (positive and negative attitudes) if you want to make progress in the future.

Hi,

today was the last written exam of the year. I hope that you will have made good detectives and good "word detective"...

We'll be correcting this test next week, on Wednesday (no classes for you on Monday).

HW:

- Mettre à jour vos classeurs et vos fiches (lexicales, méthodologiques, phonétiques, ...)

- Faire une fiche lexicale réorganisée à partir de la fiche distribuée aujourd'hui.

- Remplir le sondage en ligne (rubrique Students' Corner) si ce n'est pas encore fait.

- Venir avec le sourire =)

Hey,

today we first corrected the timeline of events that happened before and after the governor's death that could explain the situation and that could give us some clues to identify the culprit.

Here is what we wrote:

"to be written by..."

Then we continued the lesson with a sketch of the crime scene where you had to draw and identify what elements were really mentionned in the story and what elements were superfluous.

Here is the list of elements that we are sure of:

"to be written by..."

Here is the picture of the crime scene as you drew it (how artistic it is, isn't it...?)

(yet to up uploaded)

HW: for next time, prepare your revisions and update your binders. You will take a final test on Friday May 27th.

Files: Your timeline is partly corrected here (+ in blue -> the places, in flashy green -> the alibis)

Hey,

today you first had to try and find some important information about the 2nd and 3rd part of the text. You had to identify who the suspects of Liddy Hamilton were, where they were, their possible motives and alibis and their connection to the victim. Here is what we said about them:

"to be written by ..."

HW: you need to try and confirm some information about the suspects (what they were doing during while the crime was being committed, and what their reasons to kill Robert could be = make assumptions!). You also need to finish completing the worksheet I gave you about the timeline of events and the crime scene.

Hey people,

today you first took a vocabulary test and then we corrected parts of your Rosa Parks test from last week. We focused our attention on how to conjugate verbs in the preterit (positive and negative sentences).

Then we continued the class with trying to identify the important elements in a text written in a completely foreign language to you. And you understood that it was not that difficult to get important information.

Here is what we said about the text (answers to the multiple choice questions):

"to be written by ..."

Then we did the 2nd exercise and you could understand English words thanks to their context.

Here is what we said:

"to be written by..."

HW: you need to complete exercise #2.
Files: download a copy of the methodology worksheet here.

Will you be able to finally find the solution to this mystery?

We'll see about this next time. For now, you have drawn a chart about the facts, the clues, the possible ways the man died and the murder weapons and finally, we began to express some motives.

Here is what we said:

"to be written by..."

HW: find 3 possible motives why the wife killed her husband and finish completing the lexical worksheet.

Hey,

today we first ended the correction of your homework and you took your final test about Rosa Parks.

You can download a copy here:

(yet to be uploaded)

Then for those who had finished before, I asked them to gather ideas about the new sequence entitled "The Perfect Crime".

HW: for next time, you need to find 30 words in English related to the theme (10 nouns, 10 adjectives, and 10 verbs).

Hey,

today we worked on how to express what black people could and above all couldn't do when segregation was a law in the US.

Here is what we said about the topic:

"to be written by ..."

(correction of the HW + lesson)

Then you had to highlight all the new vocabulary words in page 3 of your worksheet.

Additional vocabulary:

"to be written by ..."

HW: for next time, read the text p. 5 and complete exercises #2,3, and 4 page 6 from your worksheet.
