{20 minutes} Review homework on relative pronouns (remember: p. 314 has the rules and examples)

• Students write sentences on board. CAH checks homework for completeness during this time.
• Students read answers aloud, check grammar.

{10 minutes} Compose more relative pronoun sentences.

• Each student thinks up a sentence about movies or books that in English would use who, whom, which, that, or whose as a relative pronoun.
• Students write those sentences on board (with name!), say aloud for group.

{60 minutes} Work time for movie posters!

Les Devoirs: Les posters de film! Each student creates a poster including the following (all entirely in French!):

1. Title
2. Names of actors/actresses,
3. Name of director
4. "Critics' comments" (you can make these up!) that would entice people to see this movie
5. Appropriate images.

See some classic French movie posters by Hervé Morvan!

Students should be prepared to present these posters and say a few words in French about them in class next time!

Students should also be studying for Vocab Quiz 9.1, scheduled for Monday, April 30!
