FSF 3U

le but d'apprentissage (learning goal): Nous parlons des normes de notre classe. 

• Google Translate Sings: "My Heart Will Go On" from Titanic  
• Classroom norms:  We are continuing our discussion of the norms/rules for our class (in French). The one classroom rule is: Soyez respectueux. (Be respectful).
• Mon introduction/ Je me présente - introduction to assignment. See the HUB module "introduction" for details. 
• Options:  Duolingo (sign up for an account, install the app from HWDSB catalogue) or FreeRice.com or Digital Dialects - games
• les devoirs: Should be spending 15 - 20 minutes daily on French home study Monday through Thursday. If all class work is completed, follow suggestions in Home Study extras
• Watch a film in French or review numbers or do Duolingo to help your brain to remember the French you already know. 

ENG 1L

Learning goal: We are talking about ourselves.

• index cards: 3 things that would make you want to come to class, one thing that you don't like about English class.  
• Note on your iPad in Notability or Google Docs or on paper. Use the letters of your name (first for sure, last if possible) to write down as many words as you can think of for each letter. Words must be school-appropriate. You can use the Merriam-Webster dictionary on the iPad to help you think of words. It can be installed as an app through the HWDSB catalogue or accessed as a website. Next, you create a poster using your name as an acronym and you will choose words that describe yourself in some way or which tell something about your life. 
• Flipboard: install the app on your iPad and sign up and check your preferences. If time, begin reading an article of your choice. 
• Homework: Flipboard - read an article.
