Activités en cours — 

• p. 238 — Communiquer en famille
• p. 252, Structure 3. Les verbes de communication et verbes de transfert

p. 238 — Communiquer en famille

•Pour les verbes de communication et de transfert, on utilise souvent des objets indirects (à + personne)
•PowerPoint — Objets indirects

• p. 253. Répétez les verbes. N’oubliez pas : Indirect = replaces à (ou au, à la, à l’, aux) + personne

• p. 239, ex. 9.  — ensemble

• We also talked briefly again about le bac (the test at the end of high school that French students have to pass if they want to get into college, or retake the whole senior year again if they don’t pass) and the fact that the results of the bac are public record (here, for example).

• People in class felt it was weird to have test results public like that (and it’s illegal in the US to do this)
• The idea in France is that it’s a public test, so the records are public. That way, employers and universities can check easily to see who passed and whether they got a mention (did well/very well on the bac).

Devoirs, annonces, etc.
