French Grammar - October 2011

During the month of October, we will be studying the reflexive verbs. In French, these are called "Les verbes pronominaux".
Students will been given 4 resources to help them master this verb tense:

1. A Visual Instructional Plan (V.I.P.) that decribes the necessary steps to conjugate this verb tense.
2. A handout with different examples (the morning routine verbs VS the nightly routine verbs).
3. A PowerPoint document explaining the different reflexive verbs.
4. A song on reflexive verbs called "Ma routine" to be sung to the song "We Will Rock You" by Queen.

These verbs will be firstly practised orally. Afterwards, we will study these verbs when reading different texts (song, letters, etc.) and finally, the students will be asked to produce a comic strip as their final writing assignment. The software we will be using for the comic strip is called Bitstrips. Feel free to explore their Web site : http://www.bitstrip.com/

Here's a link that your child and yourself may want to visit in order to study the reflexive
verbs.
