Le 26 Mai - Last Padlet Post for Sophmore Year French 2

# data[].attributes.body
After looking at my old padlet posts from the beginning of the year I will say that my french skills have improved in comprehension and reading. I realized that in the beginning of the school year I was really nervous when doing classwork or homework because I struggled to understand some of the words and was scared to mess up while reading. As time has passed I have gotten more comfortable reading out loud in class and reassuring myself that if I mess up it is okay because all that matters is that I try my hardest. I have also used my understanding of English and Spanish to figure out words in French that I do not understand, which have helped me when trying to understand an assignment.

A pattern that I saw while reading my old posts was me always doubting myself when it came to learning something new. I feel like everytime I tried learning something new I held myself back from answering the questions outloud or participating in whole group discussions because I was nervous and always thought that my answer was wrong. I also saw the pattern of determination. If I didn't get something right, I always wrote that I needed more practice and would look for tools to help me out such as quizlets and kahoots.

Next year I am looking forward to getting better at my pronunciation skills and writing skills. I hope that during the summer I will continue to study some of the material we learned this school year so that next fall I am ready to jump into French 3 Honors.

# data[].attributes.body
For the final I still need to practice passe composse and I need to revisit some old vocab. I will do this by using the kahoots and quizlets in the study guide. I am also going to do the learn activities in the quizlets.

# data[].attributes.body
A couple of things that would help me study passe composse and overall study for the final are kahoots. Also a review quizlet set would be very helpful. I think that also going over the writing for passe composse would be most helpful.

# data[].attributes.body
For today's petite interro, im not sure how it went. I was really stressed in the morning and after taking it I am glad that I got it over with. I do think that I got some answers wrong, but I am hoping that I did good. I was mostly stressed for the writing potion of the petite interro because I was kept doubting myself and kept getting the conjugations confused.

# data[].attributes.body
I am somewhat ready for the test on Thursday. I still need to review and study our notes and the quizlets. For the test on Thursday I will ft a friend from class to study together and I will go over class notes.

# data[].attributes.body
The end of the school year is looking a little stressful. Most of my teachers are having finals and some projects before finals as well. I feel like a lot of my classes are a little behind on all the material we were supposed to learn this year so we are trying to catch up before the school year ends.

# data[].attributes.body
Tdays in class activity helped me with passe compose because in every activity we had to make sure to use the correct past tense and make sure we were using the correct passe compose. I was bale to do some easily while other times it was a bit harder for me. Overall, 1 think that I still need some practice before our next test.

Ce matin je me suis réveillé à 7h40. Puis je me suis levé du lit et je suis allé aux toilettes pour me laver le visage. Après avoir lavé mon visage, je suis descendu prendre le petit déjeuner et regarder des vidéos YouTube avant la classe. Enfin, je me suis brossé les dents et j'ai rejoint mon cours de photographie.

# data[].attributes.body
J'ai regardé des vidéos YouTube hier. J'ai fait mes devoirs hier. J'ai dormi hier.

# data[].attributes.body
My goal for the end of the school year is to not stress out to much, enjoy my sophmore year, and remind myself to prioratize my mental health. Today's practice with Passe compose went well. I was able to understand it and the notes helped me get a better understanding as well. Right now I am more comfortable with avoir verbs.

# data[].attributes.body
My goal for the rest of this school year is to pace myself, to stop procrasinating, and focus on my mental health. I want to make sure that I am getting enough sleep and taking breaks when I need them. I also have been having bad anxiety so I hope to find methods to help me calm down. I also hope to use my time wisely to finish homework early.

Today in class we got back into our breakout room groups to record our conversation using passe compose. The conversation was a little hard to do because sometimes I would get a little confused and we had some tech issues. We also went into independent breakout rooms to vote for the last manie musical which was a little sad because I really enjoyed listening to the different types of music in the morning.

# data[].attributes.body
For today's class we did a padlet on passe compose and we also did an activity in breakout rooms. The kahoot was very fun and I was shocked that I knew most of them right. The breakout room activity on the other hand was a little harder to do becuase my partner and I were not able to do it today because we had some audio issues and couldn't hear eachother. We will be completing the activity on Monday to make up not being able to do it today.

# data[].attributes.body
Today in class we did an activty with the whole class inorder to practice passe compose. This activity involved using our knowledge we used last week and then applied passes compose to fill in the balnks to example resopnses. This activity was a little hard and I did not know the answers some of the times.

# data[].attributes.body
The petite interro was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. The part that was really hard was when I had to write out what I thought the answer would be. It was also a little challenging because I kept having wifi issues.

# data[].attributes.body
For the test on Thursday I need to continue doing some practive on kahoot and look back at out conjugation table. I also need to practice at looking for masculine and feminine in the sentence. I also need to practice pronunciation.

# data[].attributes.body
Today's activities were really fun. I enjoyed doing the quizlet although I got some wrong and overall the white board activity was really fun and helpful with conjugating some of the words. The worksheet was a lot harder than I anticipated and I got some of them wrong as well but being able to check my answers helped me understand why I got some of the answers wrong.

# data[].attributes.body
Preparing my answers for the questions helped me a lot because I felt ready and prepared to answer Madame's questions. I still need a lot of practice with the passe compose avec etre and I hope to be able to understand it more this weekend. I was able to complete some slides on the peardeck but at times I was a little confused when they already gave me the subjects.

# data[].attributes.body
Today's class was a little harder than I though it was going to be. I practiced the quizlet vocab through the activity match but I still need a lot more practice with it. Overall, when I was in the main break out room I felt like I understood it a little better but was still a little confused.

# data[].attributes.body
Today I worked on memorizing our new vocabulary and an activity that helped expand my sentences to answer who, what, and when. Today's activity helped me with the objectives: I can talk about items I need for a party and I can give details about what I do/did because I practice vocab for party supplies and I expanded my sentences that we did for homework. Breaking out into 2 groups helped me practice my pronunciation and my ability to practice using the vocab in full sentences along with the slides activity.

# data[].attributes.body
Overall the activity was really fun and I enjoyed it even though I had some difficulty with exercise #3. During this activity I was able to practice some of my vocab for the learning target: I can talk about items I need for a party. I did notice that the peardeck we did this weekend helped me a lot with memorizing and identifying party supplies and items we need for parties and celebrations. I did have a hard time wishing someone a good time, but activity #3 did help me a little with this objective.

# data[].attributes.body
For today's activities I was able to learn more about Mardi Gras and I was able to see if my assumptions of Mardi Gras were true or not. I learned that in the United Sates some people call Mardi Gras "Fat Tuesday" becuase it is the day before Lent and many people try to eat a lot before lent. I also learned about the kings cake that some people make and eat for the celebration which is similar to the Rosca that they do in Mexico. In addition, I was able to learn way more about the huge celebration in New Orleans that is for Mardi Gras which is huge and colorful. For the videos I learned that the little kids in Senegal dress up in costumes and have happy smiles. Lastly, I learned that Mardi Gras is very colorful and very bright.

Mon groupe et moi, nous mangeons tous le meme petit-dejeuner tous les matin. On mange des croissants au petit-dejeuner et on ajoute autre chose. On se brosse aussi les dents le matin et on se maquille legerement.

While doing this project the skills I have been working on is using my old vocab and new vocab to form sentences about my morning routine. I have also been practicing using my verbs and making sure I am using the right conjugations. I still have to work on adding details to my sentences and not doubting myself to much while writing my sentences and paragraphs.

# data[].attributes.body
While doing this projects I have been practicing conjugating my verbs, familiarizing myself with old vocabulary I learned last year, and I have started to get better at remembering transition words. Next week I still have to work on slides 4, 7, and 8. Today I need to finish the rest of my sentences for slide 3.

# data[].attributes.body
Today's partner activity helped me with the objectives because I was able to ask others what the routine of the person was and I was able to practice the new vocabulary and get familiar with the new words. This activity was a little hard because sometimes I was confused about what my partners were asking and if they agreed or disagreed with the questions I was asking. Right now I have no questions about the project but I am wondering if next week is when students will be going back to school?

# data[].attributes.body
During today's petite interro I was able to use the objectives of saying my daily routine and telling someone my routine in order when I was recording my responses to the questions. I was able to say what I prefered doing first, what I did first, and what I did after waking up and before going to bed. I also was able talk about steps about my routine and what other things you can do to incorporate in my routine.

# data[].attributes.body
Today I was able to make write down my own morning routine. This helped me in the objective of I can tell someone the order in which I do something. I ordered my morning routine from first to last and I was able to label someone else's morning routine.

# data[].attributes.body
Over the break what brought me joy was being able to take a break from all screens and spend quality time with family. My mom and I spent the day watching movies, eating, cleaning, cooking, and relaxing.

During the activity I learned that two of my class mates want to travel to Europe and that many of my class mates enjoy playing sports such as volleyball, ski, and basketball.

# data[].attributes.body
This week I still need to study vocab and conjugating verbs. I will be using quizlet to study for vocab and I am not how I will study with verbs. I may look at my old notability notes and tables that we did a couple months ago with verb practice.

# data[].attributes.body
Through the project I was able to learn new words such as sachet and verre and I was also able to practice my vocabulary that I had forgot and I got introduced to new ingredients I had never heard about. The skills that helped me with the project was using context clues and comprehention. After looking at the study gide I will definetly have to look over verbs and go over my vocab.

# data[].attributes.body
Today I brainstormed what I could do to film for my video. I think I decided to do provide images and try to bake it. I still need to film and get some ingredients that I don't have at home. I think for next Thursday kahoot would be helpful for reviewing anything that could possibly be on the final.

# data[].attributes.body
So far I have found a couple recipes for the chocolate cake that I think will be helpful to recreate the Belgium chocolate cake. I still need to analyze the recipe and highlight and annotate it. I think that I still need some help form madame because even though I found some recipes I am not sure if they will work for the second step of the project.

# data[].attributes.body
I am really excited for this project because even though I am not the best at cooking I am excited to try it out. I am going to keep on top of this project by balancing out my work and making sure I am up to date with the project. I am hoping to get batter at my pronunciation and learn a new dish that I will enjoy making.

# data[].attributes.body
Doing the activities on class kick was fun yet challenging at the same time. The instructions were pretty easy to follow by using some context clues but it was also a challenge when it came to filling in the blanks. This activity helped me identify ingredients in a recipe because most of the question involved steps of a recipe and then I had to fill in the blanks with the ingredients.

Le 10 Novembre - Video For National French Week Mini-Project 

# data[].attributes.body
French week was really fun. I participated in the coloring activity at lunch, the after school among us game, and dressing up in the colors of the Quebec flag. All these activities were really fun because during the coloring pages activity it was fun just being able to relax and listen to music. I was able to listen to different French songs and be able to take a break from my hectic school schedule. During the among us game I learned the different slang words in French such as imposter, the colors, and the phrase to say when we thought someone was suspicious. Throughout the week I also thought it was really cool being able to learn about different facts about the Francophone culture and playing the really hard Kahoot game in class was hard but also enjoyable. The dress up day I though was a cool way to bring in the Francophone culture because I never knew that the Quebec flag colors were blue and yellow. I decided to dress up in mostly blue clothing such as my blue Hollister hoodie, a blue pair of jeans, and some white socks with my blue and white Adidas sandals. Overall French week was fun and I wish that it could have been longer than a week because I enjoyed every activity I participated and I especially looking forward to learning how to make crepes on Tuesday.

Introducing myself to my pen pal was a lot harder than I thought. I messed up a couple times because I got nervous. I learned that both my partner and I miss school and are excited to go back and that COVID has made us both feel way more tiered. While watching my pen pal's video I learned that he is from San Mateo and that he enjoys playing video games. When recording the video I felt that it was easy to say where I was from and what I enjoy doing.

# data[].attributes.body
The kahoot game helped me learn that the simple black dress was created by the designer coco Chanel, that a care race happens in on of the smallness Francophile countries and that not all the kings are buried in France they are scattered in different places. I also was able to learn why some e of peers decided to join French class and want to learn about the cultures and language.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that I did okay on my petite interro. I did struggle a little bit with the reading portion because I would sometimes doubt myself but then I just had to take a deep breath and remember that the whole purpose was to use context clues and explain why I thought that my inference was correct. The last reading question was the hardest for me because I had no idea what it meant but by looking at the picture I was able to make a guess on what I thought it meant.

# data[].attributes.body
Today’s activity was way harder that I had anticipated. I don’t feel that confident in my writing and spelling for French. I feel like sometimes I think of the right answer but I get into my head and tell myself that I am wrong and other times I am completely confused and Have no idea what to write. I will continue practicing and I hope that I will get better and have the confidence to be able to write and spell in French.

# data[].attributes.body
Today's activity helped me with the learning objective of talking about how to make a dish from the francophone country because we read a recipe of how to cook a bread similar to La Rosca De Los Reyes which is something my family and I do every year. This activity was really nice because I was able to comprehend what we were doing by looking at the pictures and the instructions. Something else that helped me was being able to make a connection to my life with the recipe. I really enjoyed having to answer the questions and my partner and I were able to use our background of our culture to figure out what the instructions were and what a feve was.

# data[].attributes.body
In today's class we worked on reading a recipe in French. It was a little easier than I expected becuase the pictures that were next to the directions were really helpful in figuring out what the step was asking us to do. This activity helped me with the objective of reading and making a french dish with a french recipe because my group and i had to figure out what each step was asking us to do with the ingredients and at times we had to use the context clues and our background knowledge to solve the step.

# data[].attributes.body
Today's class was a little harder. When doing the classkick I was having a hard time figuring out how to answer each one of the questions in the table. Even though I am having some trouble with figuring out how to solve the independent work it is helping me with the second objective because it the worksheets are using measurements of ingredients for a recipe they are trying to create.

When doing the reading homework apI kept on making the same mistakes with DES. I definitely need to continue practicing and need to make sure that I completely understand why my answer is incorrect.

# data[].attributes.body
The pizza was really funny and was a good way to cheer up my day . The activity in a group and the song helped me with the objective of identifying ingredients in a recipe because we had to figure out which ingredients went in which order during the group work and we figured out with ingredients were on the pizza.

# data[].attributes.body
Fr2 Devoirs: Les Légumes: Les Préférences was really fun and helpful because I was able to re visit the verb conjugations and continue learning about vegetables in French. This homework assignment helped me realize all my grammatical mistakes that I made and helped me see which verb conjugation of prefer I had to use. This activity did help me practice more and overall was nice and relaxing to do.

# data[].attributes.body
Today's activity was harder than I thought it was going to be. My group and I tried our best to figure it out without showing each other but sometimes I would get really confused. This activity helped me understand the learning target of identifying fruits and vegetables in French because I was able to practice listening and pronouncing the vegetables. Overall, the activity was challenging but I was able to practice saying and describing vegetables in French.

Today's activity in break out groups was helpful in mastering the objective of: I can identify fruits and vegetables in French. This activity was really fun and it helped us think deeper. Even though I did not know many of the words in the text my group and I used context clues to figure out the answers for the questions. During the activity I was able to learn about bananas and I was able to use the words I knew in French to figure out how to answer the questions.

Today’s activity in class helped me identify fruits in French because the video helped me learn what strawberries, pear, watermelon, and so many other fruits meant. The activity with my partner helped me pay attention to the descriptions of the fruits and learn how to pronounce the fruits.

# data[].attributes.subject
Le 3 octobre - Fr2 Devoirs: Portfolio Ch1 

# data[].attributes.body
Part A:
Je m'appelle Maria. J'ai quinze ans. Je suis petite et les cheveux brun et le yeux marront. Je suis comment gentille, marrante, et sympathique. Je lire souvent le Harry Potter. Je joue rarement le batterie. Ma famille et moi, nous regardons souvent le Netflix et films. Mon amis aller rarement a le centre commercial.

Part C:
1) I think that I am doing okay with describing myself and other through speaking. I do struggle with some words and pronouncing them. I think that when I try describing others and myself I get really scared and my mind goes blank which makes me forget some of the words. I also hold myself back because I am having a really hard time with the conjugations. Through writing I feel a little more confident but I still have a lot of trouble. Sometimes I feel a little less scared because I know that I have the Quizlet sets and word reference if I am having trouble. The main thing that I am having a hard time with is that last year I didn't learn a lot because of the school closing so my teacher tried her best but she rushed through most of the lessons. In class I have trouble understanding what is being said and I have tried practicing the conjugations, but I still don't understand them.

2) Through listening it is harder to understand a persons description because I am more of a visual learner. It is much easier for me if I can read the description because even if I don't know the word I can use context clues or the words I do know in order to figure what I am reading.

3) I helped myself and my classmates with learning French by reaching out to my friends. Most of the time if I don't understand something I try face timing my friends so that we can ask each other questions and if one of us knows the answer and the other one doesn't we are able to explain it to one another. Also during break out rooms in class if one of my classmates does not know what we are doing I try explaining to her what we are doing.

4) For the next unit I want to work on not is asking for help and to get better at the conjugations.

Part B:

# data[].attributes.body
I am having a lot of trouble with the conjunctions. During the homework I thought that I understood them and once I started doing them I did not understand them at all. I definitely do need a lot more practice and am scared for the test because I still can’t get to seem them right.

# data[].attributes.body
I am doing alright with conjugating ER, IR, and RE but I am having a hard time pronunciating the conjugations. I think with a little more practice I will be able to get better with conjugating. I will make sure that during the weekend I will practice conjugating ER, IR, RE so that I will be prepared for French class.

# data[].attributes.body
Monday's class did help me with the objective of describing people with avoir and etre. The celebraties homework was hard and fun, but at the same time pushed me because I had to know what I was going to write and at the same time making sure that I was spelling the words right and it was challenging having to compare them. The hardest part was looking on quizlet for all ways to describe people.

Le 16 septembre                           Lire: Choose a song from your French Playlist

# data[].attributes.body
For today's activity I choose to read the lyrics of my French Spotify playlist and see which words I knew and which ones I didn't. The song that my spotify choose for me was: Parler.

1. 5 words that I was able to recognize from context and definition was: Voix (voice), Crois (cry), Silence (silenced), Tremble (tremble), and Parler (speak).

2. 5 new words fro me were: Taire, J'avance, Armees, Broyer, and M'empecher.

3. I could tell that in the first part of the song she wants to break gender stereotypes and be able to speak up for herself instead of getting dragged down by a society filled with men.

# data[].attributes.body
I am still getting used to using avoir and être. I am having trouble remembering the conjugations of each word, but I think with a little more practice I should be okay. The one thing that is making it really hard for me to remember each of the conjugations is that I mix up the meanings of the words sometimes. Once I realize  what word means what, I am able to realize why the conjugation is what it is.The poem was a little hard to read at first but once I used context clues and realized that they were mentioning all the different colors I was able to understand it better. The video was easier to understand because of the pictures and that it was simple lines describing each of the pictures.

# data[].attributes.body
For today’s homework it was a little hard. The video was good because it was easy to follow along with and it explained everything really nicely. The notes were good to write during the video because it helped me with the second part of the homework. The activities in the book were a bit of a challenge because I didn’t know what some of the activities were asking me to do. I had the hardest time with the 8th activity. It took me a while to figure out what it was asking me to do and when I finally did understand I was having trouble figuring out word I was supposed to put in. Being able to correct my answers was really helpful because I was able to understand what I got wrong and why I had got it wrong.

# data[].attributes.body
1. In today’s class we focused on learning the words from the homework we had this weekend. To review we played Kahoot and went into breakout rooms with 2 other people where we shared what we love slides and then had to form questions with the vocab words to ask to our partners.

2. During today’s activity I learned that Nicole’s favorite food is soup and I learned how to use the different vocab words and word reference to form questions.

3. One thing I am working on is getting used to the new vocab words. It has been a little hard remembering what each word means so this week I will be studying the vocab words.

4. I have no questions

# data[].attributes.body
1. The past couple of days in French class have been really fun and I enjoyed doing all the fun activities in breakout rooms with my peers. One of my favorite activities was probably the Lots of Dots Activity because my group and I had a fun time trying to explain what we saw with each chart. It was hard to complete these activities because sometimes I would get confused or wouldn’t understand some of the words that were being said. Other than that I think that I was able to complete the activities fine because my peers were able to help me if I didn’t understand  something. One thing that I can work on is listening more carefully. It is a little hard to hear some of the things on zoom so I can definitely work on listening more closely to make sure I understand and hear everything that is being said.

2. I did not do the summer activity, but I did look over it and I really like the journal prompts and listening prompts.

3. I was not here last year

1. I chose this activity because I really love listening to music and last year when doing work I really loved listening to calm French songs when doing classwork. I chose the activity because I would be able to create a fun French songs playlist to listen to.

2. I thought this activity was really fun, but also hard because I don't know many French songs. On the other had while searching songs up I found a lot of disney songs in French. I am a very big disney person so I really enjoyed putting some disney songs in the playlist.

3. While creating the playlist I was able to learn the titles of French songs and be able to expand my horizons of songs to listen to.

4. I didn't have any questions while doing the assignment.

08/26/2020  Fr2 English    Ecouter: Watch YouTube videos of Children Stories

# data[].attributes.body
1. I did the activity of listening to children stories on YouTube because I wanted to get better at understanding and comprehending what I was listening to.  While listening to the book I was able to look at the pictures and read along which helped me understand what the man was saying. I was also able to use my background knowledge such as knowing what grande and petit meant to know what he was talking about in the first book.

2.  I thought this activity was really cute and fun because I had never heard any children stories in French. This activity was really helpful for me to re learn some of the terms I learned last year and I really enjoyed the pictures in the books.

3. While watching the video I learned the names of different animals,  re learned some old vocabulary terms, learned new words I had never heard, and used context clues to understand what the narrator was saying.

4. I don't really have a question but I was confused on what the 3rd book in the YouTube video was about.
