French IV: LES DEVOIRS DU WEEKEND à compléter pour le 13 décembre

*** LA GRANDE BATAILLE DE BOULES DE NEIGE !!! ***

(SNOWBALL FIGHT!)

This weekend, you will type up your first, completed rough draft for this assignment. (10pts HW).

This writing will ultimately be worth 50 points, so use your rough draft to make it good!

Grammar focus: Telling a story in the past using passé composé & imparfait.

Culture focus: Showing knowledge of a park in Québec where the fight happens as well as showing cultural understanding about Québec. (Risk taking)

Using at least 5 expressions from EACH étape in Chapter 12, you will:

(Tell the ‘story’ of someone/something who threw a snowball at someone/something else.

Who did it?

Why did he/she/it throw the snowball?

Where were they in Québec when this event took place?

When did it happen?

How did they victim feel/react?

(Include details about the setting

Which park was the perpetrator in?

Where is this park located?

What was the weather like?

What were the moods of the participants?

(Make use of the passé composé and imparfait to tell the story. Use some indicator words.

(You will use COD and COI appropriately. (Min 2 COD, 1 COI).

(You will eventually draw a picture to accompany your story.

(Your picture will be in COLOR and HAND DRAWN. I don’t care if you are an artist or not.

You will make an effort!

On Tuesday, you will come to class with your fully complete rough draft. It is a rough draft that will be peer edited and that you will improve. Coming to class with nothing done will impact your grade negatively. Do NOT come to class telling me your computer doesn’t work, or that your printer was broken, or that you didn’t know what to do. If you have questions, EMAIL ME. I am getting very frustrated with students who whine about assignments who clearly didn’t really try to do anything. This project is not brain surgery. It’s supposed to be fun…and in French.

CREATIVITY MATTERS. The more fun we having hearing your story, the more Madame is in a good mood when she grades your paper. That is always a good setting to create.

Cashore, Donna
