French:
We've been exploring French Halloween vocabulary in class. The students were divided into two groups and then each student was responsible for creating a creature or object for their group collage. Once the backgrounds were completed and the creatures/objects were attached to the paper the French vocabulary words were affixed. On Thursday, the students were asked to select 8 French Halloween vocabulary words that they would like to learn. Next they were given both individual as well as partner practise time to learn them. This coming Monday, each student will select 6 vocabulary words that they would like to be tested on. All students were asked to practise a bit over the weekend so that their pronunciations become more accurate. In case students have forgotten their lists at school I've included the vocabulary words below.
