Today we
practiced describing characters and scenes in the past tense using fiary tale
vocabulary, read some of Le Petit Chaperon Rouge, and had writing time for
Partie 2.
TEC : 1)
read Le
Petit Chaperon Rouge out loud in groups of 2-3. Define the bolded words/phrases and make
observations about how dialogue is written and verb tenses are used throughout
the story. *We will finish the story on Friday
Characteristics of dialogue: les guillemets « … », each quote starts on a new line (when a different
character chimes in!), mostly in present tense (happening in the moment!),
often followed by passé composé of dire,
demander, répondre, hurler, crier, etc… (cannot use parler!)
2)
Start writing Partie 2 (the first half of the action of your story)
Devoirs : Have a typed, double spaced
copy of Partie 1 ready for peer-edit in class Friday, Finish Partie 2 and be
ready to continue developing the action in Partie 3 in class.
