A debate about fashion

The Grade 7/8 class has begun a unit about fashion and the question arose--is fashion necessary?  The students and I brainstormed and came up with some arguments for or against fashion:




Let the debate, en français,  begin!


On another note, verb conjugation is not taught formally at this level; it is mentioned briefly when it is necessary to communicate our ideas clearly, especially in written work. However, for those who would like extra practice in verb conjugations , there is an excellent site with exercises which I have added on the right side of this page under "French Games"--Verb conjugation game.  For most verbs, the pronunciation can be heard if you hover over a word.  There are excellent examples to show how the conjugated verb would be applied in a sentence.

I've also added a four more sites under "French Games" that you can explore; there are games, stories and activities to enrich your learning of French:


  • Games--Clothing vocabulary
  • Learn French verbs
  • Très bien French games
  • 700+ Free French games and activities
We look forward to students sharing their work with their parents this coming week in our student-led conferences.

Enjoy this mild weather! Bonne fin de semaine!
