INTRODUCTION- 1 verb 11 tenses - shall we try again??? Let's flex our strengths and admit our areas of weakness (I promise to remediate throughout the semester any of our weaknesses)

DIRECT INSTRUCTION/WORK SESSION:

Chapter 3 was short but important. Let's revisit "le cadre", "l'etat d'esprit" and "le point de vue"

We'll finish our verb analysis - creating a time frame for the current, past and future events. Pointing out again just how crucial understanding your tenses is in French - we'll discuss how writers do the same in English.

We'll use written prompts to sum up what we have learned from chapters 1-3. We'll both write and discuss in French.

We'll prep for chapter 4 - vocabulaire and concepts- "Ne jugez pas un livre a sa couverture" - we'll discuss when/how this has happened to us
