French 3: Thursday April 18 2013 Lesson Plan

DUE: Les Devoirs: Reading and translating the news!
  1. Due jeudi: Find one news article in French about a recent (since 1 janvier 2012) natural phenomenon. 
  2. Due jeudi: Put a link to that article on the Shared Google Doc.
  3. Due jeudi: Transcribe (rewrite on a separate sheet) and translate at least the first 200 words of your article. Use the column format: français à gauche, anglais à droite.
  4. Due lundi: Prepare a TV news version of this news report! Prepare a slide show that includes at the very least a map (with French labels!) of where the phenomenon happened, plus 60 seconds of you oral reportage (in French) of the event!
[30 minutes] Verb Tense/Vocab Practice!
  • Each student writes a six-sentence account of some disaster using our current vocab.
  • Write this account in the past tense; then revise it to sound like a prediction of the future—i.e., put that story in the future tense!
[60 minutes] Vocab/Grammar Consultation!
  • Students work on presentations for next time.
Les Devoirs: Prepare a TV news version of the disaster/natural phenomenon news report you transcribed and translated for today! Prepare a slide show that includes at the very least a map (with French labels!) of where the phenomenon happened, plus 60 seconds of you oral reportage (in French) of the event! No need to memorize; scripts allowed. But do not simply read from the French article you found online; write your own text in French!
