They are to write a minimum of 7-8 sentences about their object/person. They should be able to complete the 7-8 sentences in class. I can assist them, however I want to see them using the dictionaries/any devices they may have and their notes to write simple, present tense sentences. The students were given an outline with a rubrique with the expectations on the sheet. They could answer the following questions in their presentation.
-Where did I get this object or how do I know this person? Où est-ce que j`ai eu cet objet? Comment est-ce que je connais cette personne?
-Why is this object/person important to me. Pourquoi est-ce que cet objet/cette personne est très important(e) à moi.
-How has this object/personal influenced my life. Comment est-ce que cet objet/cette personne a influencé ma vie?
-Bring in the object or a photo of the object/person for your presentation.
due date for oral presentation: mercredi le 30 septembre.
Students are encouraged NOT to read their sentences. Practice your oral presentation out loud at home to your parents or another family member/friend. You may refer to your sheet during the presentation, however if you've practised it out loud it should feel natural and you should try to be comfortable speaking about your object/person. Be prepared to answer a few questions about your oral presentation. (easy, obvious questions)
