Now for something new. Read the text for leçon 3 (pp. 13-16) and use the text vocabulary sheet to try to figure out what everything means. Your translation should be close to this There is nothing to write out and send in on this assignment, but I will expect you to be able to give me the English equivalent of anything in the text. Again, repetition is the key. |
We will also have, of course, questions covering the leçon 3 story line. The Mise en oeuvre section concentrates on the major elements of the story, and you will be expected to be able to give the French equivalent of the story line questions and answers. Your exam materials will be taken from the following. Leçon 3 -- Questions in English * Leçon 3 -- Questions and answers in English |

We also need to consider several exercises in the workbook. Again, I will provide discussions of the exercises and links to the answers and English equivalents. Selected exercises will appear on your exam. Check the exam description for details. |

Remember the Que (Qu') = What, so Qu'est-ce que questions are asking what and will be answered with a thing, in the case a story. Qui = Who, so a person will be the answer, here Nous which means We. Pourquoi = Why, so these questions are answered Pour apprendre = in order to learn. |
