French 2: Wednesday November 14 2012 Lesson Plan

DUE: Les Devoirs!

1. Complete p. 108 Exercise B & C (yes, write the entire sentences with your answers, not just the letters or completions of the responses).
2. Write an accurate translation of the expression "C’était gagné" (p. 108, line 3). There is a 95% probability that Google Translate will translate this sentence in this context incorrectly. Think about what's being said, search for other uses of this phrase online, and explain what it means in the context of the action at the end of this story.

[5 minutes] Administrivia:

1. French Club Friday, Nov. 16, 14:10!
2. French student host program!
3. French stylo pals?

[40 minutes] Read and translate "Le Petit Nicolas"

• Pick up where we left off last time.
• Review answers to Exs. B & C.

[45 minutes] Prep for Oral Quiz #2!

• Three meetings from now (Nov. 26), we will do another one-on-one oral interview in the hall.
• Eight questions total!
• CAH will ask you five questions about where one can buy certain groceries (Où est-ce qu'on peut acheter...?).
• To get full credit, you need to respond in a complete sentence saying where one can buy such things (On peut acheter... à ...).
• You can use le supermarché in no more than one response. The rest of your responses must use terms for specific shops.
• CAH will ask you two questions about whether you like shopping, who in your family does the shopping, and/or what items you enjoy shopping for.
• You must then ask CAH one grocery-related question. CAH will respond in second-year French. You will translate his response into English.

Les Devoirs: Write eight possible questions and answers that you might hear in this oral interview! Write them down, be prepared to practice them out loud next time.
