TEST!!

Hello everyone!

First, thank you for all of your hard work regarding your writing and reading assignments over the past two weeks. Please note: If you have not handed both of these in you must do so on Monday.

As mentioned in class this week, you have a Test coming up this week in class.  The test will be on articles (Le, la, l', les, un, une, du, de la, de l' and des), possessive adjectives (mon, ma, mes, ton, ta, tes, son, sa, ses, notre, nos, votres, vos, leur and leurs), and the irregular verbs (etre and avoir).  We have done a lot of work on all of these and you should be very familiar with everything mentioned above for the test.  Please bring the following if you have them:

1) English-French dictionary
2) Bescherelle

You will be allowed to use these during the test.  I do not have enough for every single student so please bring more than one if you have it to share with others.

Thank you and have a great weekend,

Mr. Eyamie

Late Assignments

As discussed in class, there will be a penalty for all assignments handed in late unless extenuating circumstances arise.  If this is the case, you should (have) emailed or spoken to me about this already.  If you are submitting a video, you are able to email it to me (including vocabulary and statement of 5 paragraphs) at deyamie@wqsb.qc.c as soon as possible in order to reduce penalties. In general, if I have not been notified of a special circumstance and receive the project after the break (Oct. 12th -->) then there will be an automatic 10% penalty.  Thank you for all of your hard word this past month.  I am very pleased with your progress.

Have a great Thanksgiving holiday,

Mr. Eyamie
