Hi guys,

today you had to finish writing the parody of Little Red Riding Hood that you had started last time.

Before that we did an activity (fill in the blanks) where you had to listen to the story being told and complete the transcript.

You can do the exercise again below:

"yet to be uploaded"

HW:

- les "master minds" de chaque groupe doivent m'envoyer leur parodie terminée par mail pour lundi soir. De cette façon, je serai en mesure de les corriger et de vous les imprimer pour le lendemain. Nous pourrons alors bien nous amuser pour ce dernier cours à lire les différents contes que vous aurez créés. N'oubliez pas les règles et consignes vues en cours pour réaliser les meilleurs récits possibles (étoffez les adjectifs pauvres ou bien remplacez-les, tout comme les verbes de discours qui doivent être précis, utiles, et "on target"; pensez à bien développer les parties descriptives pour rendre vos récits plus réalistes et détaillés; respectez les règles de la narration et du dialogue anglais).

Hey guys,

today we first warmed up with two questions that you had to answer freely about fairy tales.

1- How did you get to know your first fairy tales?

2- Why do fairy tales attract children?

Here is what you said:

"to be written by ..."

Then, we continued the class with studying the text again. You had to focus on speech tags, verbs of movement and body language. Here is a selection of set expressions from the text:

"to be written by ..."

Finally, we commented on the story to determine if it was a parody indeed or not. Here is what we said about the twist in the story in the 2nd part: 

"to be written by ..."

HW:

- être capable de parler du texte et de l'histoire. Savoir expliquer pourquoi il s'agit d'une parodie = continuer le paragraphe déjà commencé pour la 1ère partie en le complétant par la 2ème partie.

- faire le surlignage concernant le discours, verbes de movement, actions liées au corps, ... dans la 2ème moitié du texte.

Hello guys,

today we first worked on remembering the important structure: "Have you ever...?" and its possible answers. I hope you liked discovering interesting stuff about me and about your classmates...

Then we continued the lesson with the correction of your tests.

Tomorrow we will start the last sequence of the year entitled: "Fairy Tales!"

See you then!

Mr Hattais.

Hello guys,

today was one of the last tests (if not the last one) of the year. Let's hope you will have aced it.

Take care,

Mr Hattais.

Hi guys,

today after the recap we made about the situation in our text, you had to work in groups of four with a secretary and create a test with different types of exercises about the text we are studying. "You are the teachers!" is the title of the last but one sequence before the end of the year!

HW:

- Pour vendredi 18/05/12 dans mon casier: les secrétaires de séances doivent me remettre le résultat correctement rédigé des différents exercises conçus aujourd'hui. Vous devez me fournir 3 exercices différents minimum par mot interrogatif soit au total 15 exercices. Vous devrez également en fournir la correction. Mardi, nous procéderons à l'élection des meilleures exercices, compléterons la correction si nécessaire, et déterminerons le barème.

- Préparez-vous pour le devoir sur cette séquence qui aura lieu mercredi 23/05/12

Hello guys,

today we started a new activity that will last only 3 hours (including today's lesson). So get prepared for a final test very soon...

You can download today's activity here.

Here is what we said about the possible changes to apply for Professor Mac Gonagal's behaviour (alternative speech verbs):

"to be written by ..."

HW:

- contrôle de vocbulaire sur les mots des consignes (y compris de l'exercise 5 de la worksheet).

- finir le worksheet si vous ne l'avez pas terminée en cours.

Hi guys,

today you first had to improve the writing of our text by adding speech verbs and expressions to the dialogue. 

I've taken what you have written and will be getting back to you asap.

In the 2nd part of the hour, you had to complete a test about irregular verbs in English. Let's hope you will acheive good results...

Take care,

Mr Hattais.

Hi guys,

today was our last class before the holidays. We first worked on vocabulary and then on reading the police detective report about the murder case.

Here are the vocabulary words we worked on:

Then you had to read the police report and tell me if you had chosen the same culprit or not and if you had had different arguments to justify your choice.

HW:

- vous devez connaître tous les nouveaux mots de vocabulaire présents dans vos textes (the dead governor + police report)

- Contrôles:

      * 1er cours après les vacances: vocabulaire+ leçon

      * 2ème cours: verbes irréguliers (toute la liste)

      * 3ème cours: devoir de fin de séquence (compréhension écrite, expression écrite)
