   12:55- 1h45

If these times don't work, feel free to schedule a different time.

If you have absence inquires/resolutions, grading questions, or other concerns, please come see me before the end of the semester arrives. 

If you can, send me an email by 8h30, the morning of, if you plan on coming in to see me, this way I can make sure I have my gradebook with me.

What do I do my presentation on???

ANYTHING!! ...well, that is appropriate of course. Examples: a francophone country, a hobby that you have or would like to have, a french food, a funny story, your life goals, a book you read, what you think of french class, what you eat for breakfast, what you did on February 5th, 1989, a trip that you took, ect.
Just make sure it is in French. And as usual, don't worry about being perfect (you will have very difficult time if you do, but if you enjoy stress and pain, go for it! you never know, it could happen). We will support your presentation endeavor as long as it is done in the french language.
It will count as a quiz grade. (10 pts)

If you want to reserve your topic, email me, and I will post it here. But if you have the same as someone else, don't worry, everybody has a different perspective.

Bon travail!!

Just so you don't worry, if I write things down during your answers, it is not because I am marking off points, I am just writing down what you say whether it be correct or not, to give you feedback.

http://jeopardylabs.com/play/comment-j-aime-le-fran-ais : here is the review if you want to go over it. Remember that one of the culture questions is wrong!!

OPI

The first OPI (oral proficiency interview) will be on Wednesday Feb. 3rd DURING class. (this means that the material for wednesday will be pushed to thursday and so on and so forth). 
You will come to class during the following times. You will be with a partner. You guess will then proceed to meet each other for the first time, and have a short conversation. Try to do this naturally: people don't have rehearsed conversations in the street. You can practice, but if it's too formal, I will probably just ask you guys a couple questions to build upon. This is a conversation, not an exam of correctness. This means that you are NOT graded on whether you conjugate verbs correctly and remember all the vocab. You are graded on whether or not you stay in french (even if you make mistakes) and whether you accomplish communication, no matter the level of the communication, so don't be nervous about it, your grade is your effort not your ability. 
As you can see below, we have only 5 minutes per group (and some groups I need to sneak in there where there is no time. So the conversations will end up being only 3 minutes or so. Make sure you are on time, and I apologize if the timing doesn't go as smoothly as projected. It's better we take a day in class than do it outside of class.

9:35 - Kerry and Sylvia
9:40 - Betty and Kenny
9:45 - Annie and Lourdes

Pour mardi: 

Merci bien d'emporter vos dictionnaires. Ce n'est pas necessaire, mais si vous en avez un, cela vous aiderez peut-être. (if you have a french dictionary bring it in, it's not necessary. If you don't have one, pas de souci, don't worry, it will probably not help a whole lot). We are doing our first writing exercise in class, so make sure you come to class, no makeups this semester!
