This week the French 2 class is ending one Unit and beginning its next Unit (combined Units 2 and 8) on health. They are taking their Unit 1 exam either 10/24 or 10/25. They are starting to learn the French names for the body parts. White class will have all the body part words assigned by Friday, and Blue class will have the same on Monday, 10/31. They had to draw a head and label its parts. They are also in the process of learning new vocabulary having to do with health. On their new vocabulary sheets they are to learn "santé though allergie and mouchoir to eternuer" They will be doing some TPR--total physical response activities via exercises and songs. They will begin a Performance Task: creating a "Big Body." They will also learn how to say "they have a pain somewhere." That is using the verb avoir plus the word mal plus the body part such as: J'ai mal à la tête means I have a headache. They will be also learning other avoir idioms, and they will begin learning a new verb: vouloir, which means to want. Finally, they will be introduced to "Hallowe'en in France," and whether it really is a holiday in France.
