We then took up the homework; we did well on the first activity but found the second activity difficult to understand. My advice to you was to do your homework the evening before the next class, and if you don't understand it, you can text me for clarification. Some of you came to me after class had started, and said that you didn't understand the homework; what I would have preferred was a text last night (before 9:00pm, as you know), asking for specific help. If there was a word in the question you don't understand, why not look it up?
We then did our practice test:
- The doctor prescribes him some antibiotics. Le médecin lui prescrit des antibiotiques.
- She writes a prescription for him. Elle lui fait une ordonnance.
- The sick person opens his mouth. Le malade ouvre la bouche.
- He makes a diagnosis. Il fait un diagnostic.

le 4 mai: We had our test today. If you did poorly, please consider coming to talk to me about some extra help so that we can get you on track. There's no shame in needing a bit more time to learn. :)
After the test, we went over the "chez le médecin" vocabulary in our booklet, then watched a PowerPoint about a little visit to the doctor (Pauvre Paul). Here it is below:

We will be leaving with Dueck's class for our walk tomorrow afternoon at 1:45. So we will have time for the intérro and to perform our lines before we head out to the park. There will be treats!
Homework: There are two parts to your homework. Part #1: memorize your next two lines of J-M est malade (so that you can perform your first 6 lines tomorrow) The second part of the homework is: write 8 small health sentences:
-two for "je"
-two for "tu"
-two for "il"
-two for "elle"
In these sentences, you'll either use the verb "tousser" (to cough) or éternuer" (to sneeze). You can also include other health vocab if you feel fancy. Here are a couple of examples:
J'ai mal à la tête et je tousse. I have a headache and I'm coughing.
Tu tousses et tu éternues. You're coughing and you're sneezing.
Il éternue. He's sneezing.
Intérro: the je, tu, il, and elle forms of tousser and éternuer. Eg:
I'm coughing - je tousse.
You're sneezing. Tu tousses. Etc. ♥

le 27 avril: Today we had our intérro:
I listened to you do your first two lines of "J-M est malade", and you did a great job! Those who didn't go today can get their mark by presenting tomorrow.
We then listened to a tape with an accompanying sheet:
- Fingers les doigts
- Shoulder l’épaule
- Nose le nez
- Head la tête
- Back le dos
I listened to you do your first two lines of "J-M est malade", and you did a great job! Those who didn't go today can get their mark by presenting tomorrow.
We then listened to a tape with an accompanying sheet:
We learned (reviewed?) the present tense conjugations of avoir (to have), which are used in the construct of "having pain in" a body part:
j'ai nous avons
tu as vous avez
il a ils ont
elle a elles ont
We also reviewed what happens when you want to use the preposition "à" with le, la, or les, as in "I have pain in the head" or "He has pain in the knee":
à + le = au (you can't say à le when you want to say "in the" for a masculine body part, you have to say "au": j'ai mal au dos)
à + la = à la (à la is ok)
à + les = aux (you can't say à les when you want to say "in the" for a plural body part, you have to say "au": j'ai mal aux yeux)
I gave you a Rick and Morty sheet on which you labelled the body parts, then we did a little competition to see how quickly the teams could translate some "pain in a body part" sentences. Bon travail!
Finally we divided up our "avoir mal à" sentences into the categories of je suis enrhumé (I have a cold - what body parts hurt?) and j'ai la grippe (I have the flu - what body parts hurt?) and came up with this:
je suis enrhumé
J’ai mal à la tête
J’ai mal à la gorge
J’ai mal à l’oreille
J’ai mal aux yeux
J’ai mal au dos
J’ai la grippe
J’ai mal au ventre
J’ai mal partout
There will be more symptoms of course, but none that fit into the "avoir mal à" construct.
Homework: memorize your next two lines of J-M est malade.
Intérro: -le bras, le ventre, les dents, la bouche, la gorge, with avoir mal à (je, tu, il, elle). Eg:
She has a sore arm. Elle a mal au bras.
He has sore teeth. Il a mal aux dents. Etc. ♥
j'ai nous avons

il a ils ont

le premier mai: Here we go, as promised, my audio recording of Jean-Marc est Malade. Remember to listen to it as often as you can, so that you can perfect your pronunciation:
| j-m_est_malade.m4a |
le 26 avril: Bienvenue à la classe! After going over our classroom routines, I showed you a PowerPoint with all of our unit, test, and project dates on it. We also took a look at our course outline.
I gave you a copy of "Jean-Marc est malade", which is our oral project for our first unit, "La Santé". We went over the pronunciation of each line and the translation, and I assigned parts to the class.
We then went over what body parts you know, and chose 5 body parts for the intérro:
