Avatars and Celebrities: Coming to a French class near you

In our 7/8 class we have been using the passé composé to speak about past events, such as our summer holidays, our weekends and even what we have already eaten this morning! We are now creating avatars and next week we will begin writing about their past accomplishments in their imaginary worlds!  This French website, on the "Avatars" link below, helps us create avatars while building our vocabulary; give it a try! 

Avatars

Creation of avatars in our computer lab

In our grade 4-6 classes, we have been discussing sports and sports heroes using the verbs être and avoir as well as some -er verbs such as aimer, jouer and gagner.  We have finished our reading evaluations and now we are in the process of choosing a sports celebrity (or any other kind of celebrity) to write about.  Here are some photos that have come in to class for our projects: 

We also have more to talk about regarding our own accomplishments in the world of sport:

"Je gagne trois trophées de hockey et deux médailles de la voile (sailing). J'admire beaucoup Wayne Gretzky!"

The big reveal.....drumroll please.....

This t-shirt blows our cover and gives away the secret of our true success and joy--
Jesus!

Bonne fin de semaine,

Mme Christensen

P.S. Here is the hint (l'indice) for la grande question de lundi! Où est le drapeau français? (for more background on this activity, please see earlier posts!)
