Practising French during the holidays

Students should spend some time (3 x 1/2 hour or more) during the holiday break to maintain or even increase their level of French.  There are only 3 weeks of classes in January when we return from the break before final examinations.  Students should find activities that are useful, interesting and fun if possible.  Some suggestions:

• Catch up on late assignments.
• binder/notebook
• organize it better
• re-do notes - maybe even type on computer or make concept maps
• Review and practise
• re-do activities such as fiches (handouts), cahier, quizzes and tests
• Internet (search "French games, le passé composé, les verbes" etc.
• 6 Must-know sites for Valuable French Grammar Lessons
• First Class conference
• make SmartNotebook activities
• Watch DVDs in French or French television
• Speak French whenever possible (i.e. while skiing in Québec!)
