Grade 7 Language Arts: Each student must bring their novel, graphic novel, anthology etc to class each day. I will be conferencing with students and I prefer them to read what they are most comfortable with. I choose the genres in class, so this gives students the freedom to read what they wish on their time. User Friendly questions were due on Monday, please see me if you have not completed the assignment.
Something to think about... "If you had a robot, what would be the advantages?"
French classes: Since we have completed the first segment of Health Curriculum Outcomes, we are now moving into French. There is great diversity within each class as some have never taken French before in their former country, some just started French last year, some feel comfortable, some feel quite confident and others fear they have forgotten what they learned because they haven't had a chance to practice!
I understand how this can be scary as both of my parents were English first language. I use project based learning and many visuals in order to allow students to work at their own pace. Please keep in mind
you will get out of this program what you put into it. The more we practice, the more we will improve and please feel free to ask questions as this may help others too! I will add helpful websites that I find online. These lessons for beginners can be review or brand new for those new to the language.
If you find any helpful links, please let me know as I believe technology is a great tool for second language learners.

Something to think about? What are the advantages of learning a second language? What does the research say? You will get lots of hits on Google, but how could speaking French help you in the future?
Thank you and have a great day!
P.S
