• In trios, write original conversations relating to a shopping trip.
• First, two people at home decide they need some groceries. Tell us why, and tell us what!

• Head out to at least two different shops!
• Each shopper meets a shopkeeper; they greet each other.
• Shopper must say, "I need X amount of grocery Y. Where is/are Y?"
  
• Shopkeeper must give different directions (see direction words, p. 97) for four of the groceries.
• Shopkeeper must say that he/she doesn't have any or is out of one of the items (use the partitive! "Nous n'avons pas de..." or "Il n'y a pas de..."). And be sure to express regret!
• Shoppers come home, say what they got!
• Vocabulary should focus on terms from Chap. 3 and previous!
• If you rely heavily on terms not learned so far, please provide a glossary of key terms on the board (maximum five!)
