- his background (family type, birthplace + childhood locale)
- his education/upbringing
- his career - early to end
- his place in history
- reasons to read the book

We'll check your understanding with a listening quiz.

**If you are at home use this video to try to get the above information: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Veq_K08R1H8

We'll do a quick review of Le Passe Simple - what is it? Who uses it? Can you recognize it? Can you take a sentence out of it to use it? - we will need all of these skills for our upcoming novel.

Intro: Le Petit Prince - skim through, what do you see? Who do you think made the drawings - are they elaborate, simple? I will provide you with a novel dictionary as well. Skim through it. If we have time we will listen to chapter 1 - here is a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvRIccSAHEw
