Higher Homework 17 Janvier

For Monday 17th January

Higher:
I will ask you to do 2 things for monday: Have a look at p 1-2-3 & 4 of the new booklet (Vocab can come handy for writing essays for example) and do "une journée a l'école". Questions are on the next 2 following pages. Stage 1 A + B (16 questions in total)
The 2nd thing is about "le trop petit prince". I would like you to invent / create the end of the clip. Pretend you have another 10 sec of clip to see, what are going to see? (think about the sun rising again / the colour of it...) And what is the relation between the video and the chapter we have studied in class?
Answer these two questions in French and post them in the Etwinning space. Video can be found on the twnispace as well
adresse here Any problem, leave me a message.

Int 2:
Raegan, can you write a neat copy of your 1st writing and prepare the second writing as well. (double line spacing please)
As well as this, I will ask you to do Que pensez vous de l'école? p281 and go as far as possible in the questions (up to 5 would be perfect)

Bon weekend
Bon courage
