• In English, if we want to tell someone to do something, whether it's one person or many people, we just say the verb, without any subject or suffix: Eat! Sing! Finish your homework! Do it! Be good!
• If we want a group to which we belong to do something, we say "Let's" before the verb: Let's go! Let's eat! Let's meet at the park! Let's get out of here!
• In French, we use different forms of the verb for commands depending on whether we want tu, vous, or nous to do something:



Who's got to do it	What we say in French	English translation
tu (one person you know well, friend or child)	Écoute! Regarde! Finis! Attends! Vas! Fais les devoirs!	Listen! Look! Finish! Wait! Go! Do the homework!
vous (many people, or one person who is your boss, elder, superior, etc.)	Écoutez! Regardez! Finissez! Attendez! Allez! Faites les devoirs!	Listen! Look! Finish! Wait! Go! Do the homework!
nous (us! whatever we're doing, we're doing it together!)	Écoutons! Regardons! Finissons! Attendons! Allons! Faisons les devoirs!	Let's listen! Let's look! Let's finish! Let's wait! Let's go! Let's do the homework!

• Skit must include...
1. greeting
2. ordering food and beverage (with at least one recommendation from server)
3. server reading back the orders to make sure he/she has them right
4. conversation between clients while waiting for meals to arrive (if only one client, then yes, you talk to yourself, making observations about the restaurant, the server, the weather... perhaps pretending to converse with someone you recognize at another table...)
5. delivery and consumption of meals
6. handling the check
3. Study for Vocab 6.2 Vocab Quiz, which will take place on mardi, le 17 avril!
   

French 2: Wednesday April 4 Lesson Plan

Note: make-up times for Vocab Quiz 7.1 are Wednesday (today!) 14:15, 14:45, and 15:20! With the large number of people who missed Monday, we need to do these quizzes at set times to get as many people done at once as possible.

DUE: Vocab 7.2 Writing/Drawing Practice!

1. Write all new vocab words in Exprimons-nous and D'autres mots utiles on p. 247 four times.
2. Write all new vocab words in the pictures on pp. 246–247 three times and draw a picture representing each vocab word next to each vocab word.

{5 minutes} Student Vocab Practice! Students drill each other on vocab words while CAH takes homework scores

{5 minutes} Present remaining camping skits!

{10 minutes} More Vocab Drill! CAH asks, "Qu'est-ce que tu as vu dans la forêt/au lac/à la rivière?" Students respond with "J'ai vu..." and terms from Vocab 7.2!

{10 minutes} Listening Practice: Students listen and respond to spider story (images on p. 248 Ex. 20).

{10 minutes} More vocab practice: Do p. 248 Ex. 21 together.

{20 minutes} Grammar Practice: more imperfect vs. past tense (l'imparfait vs. le passé composé!)

• Students work in pairs
• Students pick four verbs from this chapter (see p. 265 for both vocab lists).
• One student writes four sentences using those verbs in the straight past tense.
• The other student writes the same four sentences but puts the verb in the imperfect.
• After all finish, each pair reads a pair of its sentences aloud.

Les Devoirs: L'histoire d'aventure!

• Each student writes a short story about an adventure in nature.
• Minimum ten sentences (and for Pierre's sake, don't write your story in English and then plunk it into Google Translate!)
• Every sentence must use vocab from Chapter 7 (highlight those words!)
• Story must be complete and ready to read aloud next class period!
  

French 1: Tuesday April 3 Lesson Plan

DUE: Write twenty original sentences using vouloir:

1. The first ten sentences must use different subjects, different nouns from Vocab 6.1 as direct objects, and the partitive: Je veux du/de la/des... ("I want some...").
2. The next ten sentences may use any subject (though never the same subject twice in a row) and any direct object (noun or infinitive verb); in other words, you can say that so-and-so wants a thing or that so-and-so wants to do something.

{25 minutes} Vocab Quiz 6.1 (pp. 184, 185, 187, 189)

{10 minutes} Make up all remaining breakfast skits!

{10 minutes} Go over vouloir sentences: students read aloud!
