French 2: Thursday September 27 2012 Lesson Plan

DUE: Les Devoirs: write all vocab words and phrases on pp. 42, 43, and 45 four times.

[10 minutes] Vocabulary Practice! Students pair up, quiz each other on Vocab List 2.1

• CAH checks homework during this time

[20 minutes] More Vocab Practice! 

1. Do p. 44 Exs. 1, 2, & 3 together.
2. Students pair up, prepare mini-dialogue based on parts given on p. 45, Ex. 4, present to class.

[30 minutes] Direct Object Pronouns! p. 46

• Recall "I love you"?
• Practice forms: me, te, le/la, nous, vous, les (no change with us and y'all!)
• Emphasize placement before the verb. Je la regarde = "I her am watching"!
• Note possible elision/apostrophization in all singular forms (again, "I love you"!).
• Practice together with pp. 46-47 Exs. 6 & 7

Les Devoirs: Translate the following sentences. Et faites attention: you do not have to translate the helping verbs! They are included in the normal French present tense: e.g., "I am reading" translates as "Je lis," not "Je suis* lire*" or some other un-French compounded verb monstrosity!
