DUE: Les Devoirs: 

1. Write out sentences responding to each of the oral commands on the Chapter 5 Oral Quiz by saying (in French), "I already did that."
2. Théâtre de l'imperatif réflexif absurde! Do it/Don't do it skits!

• Compose a brief absurdist skit using reflexive commands:
  • 1: "Do A!"

  • 1: "Don't do B; do C!"
  • 3: "Don't do C: do D!"
  • 1: "Don't do D; do E!"
  • 3: "Don't do E; do F!"
  • 1: "Don't do F!"
  • 2: "Hey, let's do G!"
  • 1 & 3: "O.K.!"
• #2 acts out all of the commands given by #1 and #3.
• #1 and #3 join #2 in doing what #2 suggests at the end.
• You conduct this conversation in French, of course.
• Prepare this skit to present in class next time!

[15 minutes] Absurdist skits!

[30 minutes] Oral Quiz Practice!
