Task A: Read about and practice verb conjugation.

1. Open your French textbook Liberté in Note Taker HD. Go to View mode by pressing the “eyeball” button. Turn to page 38 in the page thumbnails (it is p. 42 on the printed page).

2. Read section B.3 Verb conjugation and the verb être. Practice section B.3.1 and B.3.2, but you don’t have to turn these sections in.

3. Tap the Tools button to duplicate p. 44 (the page containing section B.3.3 Conjugating être). Tap the Tools button again to unstaple it. Now that you have a free standing page, fill it out, write your name and period, and email it to me using FirstClass. (Watch and follow the video tutorial if you have not set up FirstClass on your iPad’s Mail settings).

* * * * * *

Task B: Write an original story of at least 100 words.

1. Use notebook paper to write your story, NOT YOUR IPAD. In your story use the following vocabulary at least once:

a. il/elle gronde – s/he scolds
b. il/elle est sévère – s/he is strict
c. dans la piscine – in the pool
d. pendant – during
e. en hiver – in the winter

2. You may not use dictionaries, translators, websites, etc. Keep the story simple; stick to what you know how to say. Use no English!

3. Be sure to skip

I may mark your

If you finish early, you may read a French children’s book quietly from my library, but please return it to the French shelf neatly.
If you do not finish task B, finish your story for homework.

We are continuing our review of 7th grade material. Below is the information we covered today. Click on the image to view it at full resolution.

* A note about the pronoun "on" : On is an idefinite pronoun and can be translated as "one." As such, it can also replace the pronouns we, you, and they in informal contexts. Last year you learned to say "we" using on. Later this year we'll look at how to say "we" with the pronoun nous and "you" with the pronoun vous.

About le Prof

2009-02-05T10:39:00.001-05:00

BIO: I was born in Mexico in the city of Tampico in the northern state of Tamaulipas. I came to live in the United States when I was very young. My family settled in Texas. For most of my youth I grew up in a small north central town named Cleburne. It was in Cleburne High School that I learned French from a wonderful lady (Mme. Darby) who left France after WWII. I then studied at The University of Texas at Austin and earned my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees there. It was in graduate school that I met my wife Verónika. We were both assigned to be Teaching Assistants for the same course. Since June 2002, I’ve lived in Elizabeth, New Jersey, where my wife is from.

INTERESTS: I enjoy drawing, biking, podcasting, studying languages, reading, and writing. A geek at heart, I love Star Trek and Transformers! I even have a miniscule collection of Transformer toys. I like to research and incorporate technology into my classes.

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE: My Bachelor of Arts degree is in Spanish with a minor in French. My Master of Arts degree is also in Spanish with a concentration in linguistics and a specialization in syntax.

As a graduate student at UT, I was first a Teaching Assistant helping professors in courses such as Business Spanish, Latin American Civilization, and Practical Spanish Phonetics. Later, as an Instructor, I taught lower-division Spanish courses. In addition, I taught medical Spanish in a program not related to the University.

I have been teaching at Morristown-Beard School since September 2002. My current duties at MBS include teaching 6th grade Spanish and 8th grade French. I am also a 6th grade advisor. I moderate three Activities per year and maintain the Middle School homework and projects website.

In previous years, I have taught 7th and 8th grade Spanish. I have served as a 7th grade advisor and Assistant Coach for Girls’ Tennis and Boys’ Soccer. I have moderated Activities in Cartoon drawing, Caricaturing, Graphic Novels, Calligraphy, Web design, Podcasting, Blogging, and Klingon language.

What is TPRS?

Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling is a relatively new and exciting method for teaching and learning languages. Research shows that humans acquire language primarily by hearing it and secondarily by reading it. The language you receive via your ears or eyes is called input. For you to acquire a language, you must understand the input, otherwise it is gibberish. This comprehensible input is the key to internalizing the language.

How does it work?

TPRS provides an environment in which you are exposed to constant comprehensible input within meaningful contexts, such as within the framework of a story. Most of our time in class will be dedicated to hearing a few chunks of language that I want you to learn. I’ll ask questions repetitively in French so that you can internalize the language chunks. Also, we’ll read stories to help you reinforce, learn, and practice additional expressions. We’ll discuss the readings in class in French, also with repetitive questions.

• About the Course

• What are the class expectations?

• How am I being graded?

• How does class work?

Most of the time, class consists of two main activities: 1). talking about you in French, and 2). reading and discussing. Every day I will be asking questions repeatedly so that your brain absorbs French. Soon, you won’t even know you’re thinking in another language!

1. The first type of class activity involves me writing on the board the key language structures I want you to acquire. Using these language structures, I then ask questions about someone in class. I’ll “circle” the questions repeatedly so that you can acquire the language. We may then create a little story about your classmates using the information we learned in class.

2. Reading mirrors what we do with the personal question and answer sessions, only our conversations stem from the text. We first translate the written French aloud into English so that we all understand what we are reading. I ask questions throughout the class as stated above.

* * *

Acquiring a language begins with your ears! As such, you MUST listen with the intent to understand. Also, I ask that you respond to EVERY single one of my questions. If I present new information, say “¡Oh!” and if you don’t understand a word, say “¿Que veut dire _____?” (What does _____ mean?) Responding to everything I say will help keep you focused in class.
