On-line instruction for 6th and 8th graders

Bonjour - 
Une petite video sous-titrée sur le Covid 19. Il y a 10 questions posées au virologue. Essayez de prendre des notes sur l'essentiel de ce qu'il dit pour répondre à chacune de ces questions.

Ce site BRUT (posté sur Facebook) offre beaucoup de petites vidéos sous-titrées qui peuvent vous intéresser.

Activités à faire pour passer le temps

Bonjour!  Voilà quelques sites que vous pouvez visiter pour passer le temps et pratiquer le français.

Si vous voulez lire des petits textes en français et répondre à de petites questions, voilà deux sites pour vous:

Pour les 6ème: https://lingua.com/fr/francais/lecture/ Textes très faciles

Pour les 7ème/8ème: textes un peu plus longs, mais faciles:
https://www.ortholud.com/exercices_de_lecture_et_de_comprehension_de_texte.html

Les textes sont plutôt faciles, mais c'est bien pour pratiquer. A vous de relevez un mot ici et là qui est nouveau pour vous, et de le noter quelque part + en chercher la définition et l'apprendre (et trouver un moyen de l'utiliser).

Des lectures un peu plus compliqués qui sont des mystères à découvrir : Les enquêtes de l'inspecteur Lafouine!   Envoyez-moi vos réponses et vos raisonnements, et je vous dirai si vous avez attrapé le coupable!

Pour les 8ème, une histoire un peu plus longue Le voyage circulaire d'Emile Zola. Texte (avec audio - il y a quelques différences entre cet audio et le texte) et Questions et exercices

Pour pratiquer la grammaire, le vocabulaire, la conjugaison : Ce site est très bien pour vous : https://www.ortholud.com/index.html - A vous de choisir ce que vous voulez faire.

Je vous conseille de noter ce que vous faites pour savoir ce que vous pratiquez + de mettre les scores que vous recevez :

Exemple:  
Mardi: lecture sur les dauphins ; Leçon sur les pronoms relatifs + exercice de pratique T1 + 3 exercices;  regarder un clip d'un chanteur francophone : Stromae + lire les paroles en chantant = : )

French Assessment test : AVANT

Test Code: 13525-4s-fr-4     Password: 5894

Your "login name" is your 6 digit 4j Student ID Number

Scores of these tests will count for your 3rd term class as the term will be ALL in French, and will focus on French production (speaking, reading, writing, listening).

Start with the reading. 

Continue with the writing. 
Read the prompt and use all its components (the prompt is mostly giving you ideas to develop your answer). Aim at producing a text of 250 to 300 word long (NOT longer!). The task is to produce enough language to show a variety of skills (vocab, sentence constructions, grammar control and variety). Remember to use all what you know (vocab and grammar rules). Insert a few complex sentences (a sentence 2 or more conjugated verbs) with:

Conjunctions: parce que, mais, ainsi, comme, tel que, cependant, donc, néanmoins (nonetheless), quand, lorsque, depuis, ...

These conjunctions need the subjunctive and 2 ≠ subjects otherwise use the infinitive: pour que, avant que, à moins que, de peur que

These conjunctions need the subjunctive and can introduce the same subject as in the principal clause: jusqu'à ce que, bien que (although)

Relative pronouns: qui, que, dont, où, lequel/laquelle, etc...

Try to use one  "Si" clause (si + présent, futur, Si + imparfait, conditionnel présent / Si + plus que parfait, conditionnel passé. Try to use one or 2 subjunctives; a participe présent. 

Proofread your text to check the conjugation of your verbs and make sure that the rule : VC + VI is applied (after a conjugated verb the second verb is at the infinitive).

I will have access to your production, and these 2 essays will be part of your grade for term 3, so do a good job. I know it will be much easier than most of what you have written for this class so far. And, it is an opportunity to show your skills in French. Make me proud!

The the listening

Finally the speaking

Hello parents of 6th graders.    Photos of the Simulation from the Register-Guard 

 
On Thursday the 21th, our students will go through Ellis Island (located for this occasion in our small Gym). 

Students should come dressed-up to play their part:
Boys can wear dark pants, preferably dark shoes, white shirt, a dark suit jacket or a vest, and mostly a hat / cap. Girls can wear long skirts and a white blouse, shawls or scarves. Hair can be braided or in a bun. Anything that will remind late 1800's or early 1900's. 

Don't forget to bring a piece of luggage: a big basket, a very old leather looking suitcase, a large bag made of cloth, or just a small blanket rolled-up and held with ropes or belts. 

We will do the activity during 1st or 2nd period to be with the other 6th graders. Students can dress-up at school + leave their luggage in my room as they come to school. 

Thank you to all who volunteered to make this fun activity possible.

My name is Alexia Murphy. I’m a French Native speaker from Belgium.
I am offering French lessons and tutoring and was wondering if there was a billboard or website where I could advertise my services. I am currently tutoring one of your students who is enrolled in the French Immersion Program and would love an opportunity to help more students or even parents looking to learn or improve their French.

Bienvenue à l'année scolaire 2019-2020

Welcome to this new school year!

Students: on this site (left menu), you can find your daily homework, some most likely started in class, and if you were productive in class, maybe completed!  If you have to miss class, this site is perfect to get an idea of what was accomplished in class and to learn about the homework you need to do to be ready for the next day. Don't worry if you are not able to complete it, just make sure to come to see me before school to inquire about it.

Parents: This site will give you heads-up and details on big projects, but mostly will give you an idea of what your students has to do to be prepared for class.  Many times, HW is started, if not completed in class, so in many occasions,  your students will have little to do. This blog is especially helpful if your student has to miss class. If your student feels lost, encourage your student to come before school to ask clarifying questions.

Hosting our new Amity Intern - Mouhamed Ly

We are excited to announce that Roosevelt will have another French speaking Educational Intern this fall for the full 2019-20 school year, Mouhamed Ly. He currently studies Post-Colonial literature in Senegal, and he aspires to be an English teacher. 

These are some of Mouhamed's aspirations for his experience at Roosevelt: As an informal ambassador for my home country, I would present my country’s language and culture by sharing it with young Americans students. I would want to teach my language (Fulani) and show American people what is my culture through its behaviors, clothes, local meals, sports events, dances and songs. I will show them how wrestling matches are done with all the details to live good moments of Fulani wrestling matches. Fulani wrestling is an old traditional sport in Senegal.

Mouhamed's words to his future host families:  Living with a host family is a honor to me because my culture taught me that « one can never pay the family or person who welcomes him ». So, I will share household duties and take part to every activity. I will wash the dish, clean the house, participate in cooking. I will play with the children. I will do as in my own family because for me, life should be taken positively so that good memories will be hold when time comes to go.

Mouhamed's words about fitting in: I am a kind of person who can adapt easily.  I traveled outside my country and found out that their customs and foods are not the same as mine but I loved and adapted with theirs rapidly. For me it is normal and fascinating that customs and foods change in a foreign country, and to better learn, many times, one needs to discover things different from his own culture.

Hosting our intern is a key factor in the programs success. The host families play a key role in shaping our intern's views on American family life and education here (they are all studying to become teachers). They also become short-term family members who can become lifelong French / Francophone native friends. This year we will need 3 host families to volunteer to host an intern for about 12 weeks, but longer stay is a possibility if it suits the family. This is an exciting opportunity to have your children really connect on a daily basis with a native French speaker and learn more about a Francophone culture (Senegal, this year)! All interns have excellent English skills so communication with non-French fluent families will not be a problem.

If you are interested in hosting our new intern, please read the information about the Amity Intern Program and requirements below. Email me (wiebe_c@4j.lane.edu) if you have any questions or would like to put your name on the list to reserve a specific intern time period (Fall Term: Sept-Dec, Winter: Jan-March, Spring: April-June). Thank you for supporting a strong educational experience at Roosevelt.

HOST FAMILIES (from the Amity website):
Host Families play a vital role in the success of an assignment. By welcoming an intern from another country into their home, volunteer host families gain friendship, understanding, knowledge and a connection to the world. They will experience new tastes and customs, and have the chance to practice their intern's language. Their children will learn about different parts of the world from the intern, and may receive extra help with their own language studies. Long-lasting relationships that may develop between the family and intern can lead to an ongoing exchange of friendship and hospitality. Children may also benefit from having an international friend and a foreign pen pal. Learning about another culture may create new interests in travel and international issues. Hosts may also gain a new perspective of Americans and American culture as seen through the intern's eyes, leading, perhaps, to broadening their own opinions, beliefs and values. HOST FAMILIES PROVIDE: A private room. Three meals a day, including a sack lunch on school days.  Transportation to & from school if school is not walking distance or accessible by public transportation. 

Ashley Franckowiak with America Discovery presented his program this morning. If you are interested in hosting a French teenager (age 13-17) for a few weeks this summer, please contact him. His organization provides activities during the day, and you provide room, board and an authentic American family experience.

Hosting our Amity Intern - 2018-2019

We are excited to announce that Roosevelt will have another French native Educational Intern this fall for the full 2018-19 school year, Joséphine Campos. She studies English (language, literature & civilization). She aspires to be a teacher. 

These are some of Josephine's aspirations: If I ever get the opportunity to work as an intern for this program, I would be fully dedicated to the students. I am willing to help them enjoy the learning of the French language and culture, help with the pronunciation. I have been volunteering at the Red Cross for two years now. I enjoy helping in the domiciliation unit (the delivery of the mail to people without a stable home), I like to attend and help out in the French classes my grandmother leads to help new immigrants in France. 

Josephine's words to her future host families:  I would be extremely grateful to be hosted by a local family; for them to dedicate some of their time for me is truly generous, and I would do my best to prove my gratitude. During my stay in Australia, I had the opportunity to live in three different host families. Together we shared precious moments chatting, cooking or visiting nice places. Each family taught me their own lifestyles: their favorite dishes, their cultural tastes - my first host family was the one who introduced me to Game of Thrones! They advised me to visit several museums, natural parks or hiking trails. I am hoping to share the same kind of wonderful experiences with my forthcoming Host Families.

I would adapt my daily routine to the Host Family's lifestyle. I am pleased around animals if any are involved, I am used to live surrounded by nature as much as I am used to be in the city. I will help with household duties, as I am doing in my own family. I am a vegetarian, and I understand that my eating habits can unsettle some people, therefore I would manage on my own for the cooking and maybe even cook some more for the family if they happen to be interested in trying it! This program allows me to live a full American experience. I am hoping to integrate in the family's customs as much as possible. I will celebrate national holidays, pay my respects for the more tragic events, encourage the children in their schooling and leisure activities. I hope to attend baseball or basketball games!
 

Hosting our intern is a key factor in the programs success. The host families play a key role in shaping our intern's views on American family life and education here (they are all studying to become teachers). They also become short-term family members who can become lifelong French native friends.
