DUE: rien!

[5 minutes] Semester 2 Vocab Survey!

• Democracy breaks out! CAH takes votes on which chapters we should cover next!

• CAH takes votes through the end of the school day Monday, February 11.
• CAH will choose the sequence of chapters we do for the rest of the semester based on the cumulative rank scores from this survey.

[20 minutes] Practice Oral Quiz!

[30 minutes] Du temps à travailler...

Les Devoirs: 

1. Respond to each of the oral commands on the Chapter 5 Oral Quiz by saying (in French), "I already did that."
2. Théâtre de l'imperatif réflexif absurde! Do it/Don't do it skits!

• Compose a brief absurdist skit using reflexive commands:
  • 1: "Do A!"
  • 3: "Don't do A; do B!"
  • 1: "Don't do B; do C!"
  • 3: "Don't do C: do D!"
  • 1: "Don't do D; do E!"
  • 3: "Don't do E; do F!"
  • 1: "Don't do F!"
  • 2: "Hey, let's do G!"
  • 1 & 3: "O.K.!"
• #2 acts out all of the commands given by #1 and #3.
• #1 and #3 join #2 in doing what #2 suggests at the end.
• You conduct this conversation in French, of course.
• Prepare this skit to present in class next time!
• No notes!
