2/ Reviser le nom des pays

Regarder ce powerpoint pour reviser le nom des pays (masculin, feminin, pluriel)
Powerpoint sur les pays (masculin, feminin, pluriel)
powerpoint sur les pays 2 (vocabulaire pays et nationalites)

3/ Grammaire

Regardez les videos. It is going to explain everything about the pronouns which is quite complex but at this stage you do not need to know all the uses of these pronouns.

At your level , at least try to remember the following

a) 'y' refers to a place and often means 'there' and it often used in front of the verb. It used with verbs that have the preposition à - like aller à, partir à...

b) 'En' refers to your notes. We already worked on it. Quick reminder 1/ We use it to replace a quantity or the partitive.
==> Tu veux du chocolat? Oui, j'en veux.
2/We use en to refer to a place with verbs that have the preposition de - like venir de, sortir de, revenir de...

Le fait divers

Bonjour Year 9,

As i informed you in my email yesterday, this is the lesson for the coming week (23-29 March).

Topic : les faits divers (news items such as robbery, accidents, castastrophies etc...)

Aim : understanding a news item in the press

To tackle this topic we need some vocabulary and the passe compose (we already studied that) because it is usually reported in the past tense. This is not an easy topic (especially being far away from you!!) so take your time to study a few words and practice them.

1/ Watch the video

You can first watch this video and try to guess the meaning of the words you see in the video.

2/ Quizlet - https://quizlet.com/_88bbfv?x=1jqt&i=1xed9z

Look at the flashcards and study the vocabulary. You can watch the video again and see if now you can figure out more words.

I am adding the handout below for more vocabulary and you can check which words you remember and look up in a dictionary the words you do not know. You do not need to know all these words.

3/ Livre Pixel

a) Read the News Items on the book PIXEL pg 48. Also read the green box pg. 49 - "parler d'un fait divers" - and make sure you know/understand all these words.

b) answer the questions ex. 2 pg 49. Basically you need to read the news items and correct the information in each sentence.
Email me the answers.

c) ex. 3 pg 49. Continue the sentences using the information from the texts you read.
Email me the answers.

d) ex. 5 p. 49. Copy the box on word or on a paper and looking at the pictures pg. 48 and listening to the CD ex 5 p. 49 fill in the answers.
Email me the answers. (send a word document or a photo of your work).

4/ Cahier Pixel

Work out pg 45.
Take a picture and send me by email.

Email me for any difficulties you have but make sure to try first using a dictionary : https://www.wordreference.com/

5/ Further online activities you can try (not easy am afraid but you can try it out for a challenge - if you succeed let me know! ).

Crossword
Listening exercise

Deadline for all the homework is Sunday 29 March. Please send all answers in one email with the title - PIXEL - LES FAITS DIVERS.

These are not easy times, I just want you to try your best with what we have.

Keep safe,

Ms Stephanie
