French 1: Wednesday April 25 Lesson Plan

DUE: p. 227 exs. 8 & 9

{5 minutes} Oral Practice: Students read responses to Exercises 8 & 9 to each other, checking for agreement of ce/cet/cette/ces forms and adjectives!

• CAH checks homework at this time.

{15 minutes} Written/Oral Practice: Students write Exs. 8 & 9 on board, we check for masculine/feminine and singular/plural agreement.

{30 minutes} New Grammar: Interrogative Adjectives! (quel/quelle/quels/quelles p. 228)

• Recall some phrases we've already used: Quel âge as-tu? De quelle couleur? Quelle heure est-il? Quel jour est-ce que tu as français? Quelle taille? Quelle pointure?
• We've used forms of quel before!
• quel = which? what? or what!

1. Quel foulard veux-tu? "Which scarf do you want?"
2. Quelle est ta saison préférée? "What is your favorite season?"
3. Quelle belle fille! "What a beautiful girl!" Quels beaux garçons! "What handsome boys!"

• Note that our friend Qu'est-ce que means "what"... but we use it a little differently from quel:

1. Qu'est-ce que tu penses? "What do you think?"
2. Qu'est-ce que tu veux? "What do you want?"
3. Qu'est-ce que vous faites? "What are you doing?"

• Practice p. 228 Exs. 12 & 13: students get time to write answers at desk, then write on board.

 Les Devoirs:

1. Do p. 229 Exs. 14 & 15. (As always, write complete sentences!)
