1. |
Your first assignment for
French in Action leçon 5 is simply going to be a part of your review of
the introduction and lessons 2 - 4. Just write out and send me the French
equivalents of the following. Work on these until you can do them
without looking at the French sheet. When you can do
that, you are ready for the review portion of the exam.
* http://eet.msun.edu/~Westenskow/fact5revang.html (English materials) http://eet.msun.edu/~Westenskow/fact5revfran.html (French equivalents) Remember! Language study is a cumulative thing, and not a collection of isolated units. I will expect you to remember all of the earlier material as we proceed from lesson to lesson. |
2. |
Now read the text for leçon
5 (pp. 25-28) and use the text vocabulary sheet
to try to figure out what everything means.
http://eet.msun.edu/~Westenskow/fact5textvocab.html Your translation should be close to this http://eet.msun.edu/~Westenskow/fact5text.html I suggest that you practice putting the English page above back into French, sentence by sentence. I will not, however, ask you to submit this translation practice as a homework assignment. |
3. |
Now go to the Mise en Oeuvre
section (p. 28) and figure out what the questions mean.
http://eet.msun.edu/~Westenskow/fact5miseang.html (English meaning of the questions) Referring to the text, try to find the answers to the questions. http://eet.msun.edu/~Westenskow/fact5misefran2.html (French questions with the correct answers) How did you do? Here are the questions and answers in English. Send me these questions and answers in French. I will expect you to do this for me on an exam, so practice, practice, practice. |
4. |
Now we will move to the workbook, page 46. I will give you
the English sentences describing the pictures. You give me the
French equivalent.
* http://eet.msun.edu/~Westenskow/fact5imagesx.html Now I want you to go to page 49 and review the conjugation of the verb avoir. Study the questions in exercise 13 and check the English equivalents if you have any question about the meaning of the questions and the answers you are to provide. Complete and send me the exam page. * http://eet.msun.edu/~Westenskow/fact5w13x.html In exercise 15 tell how old everyone is by putting the correct form of avoir in the blanks. I will also want you to be able to recreate the French sentences from the English equivalents. |

exercises 20, 21, 22 on page 52 and exercise 38 on page 55. Write
the English equivalents of both the original French sentence and the
imperative that you create.

English equivalents of both the original French sentence and the sentences
or phrases that you create.
