LEARNING VOCABULARY!!

LOOK - SAY - COVER - WRITE - CHECK and REPEAT!!!
This is the only approved method for vocabulary learning!

From now on, the vocabulary that we learn in class every week will be on the French blog and on Edmodo, as I have noticed that this is something that boys do not always do is regularly learn their vocab... :(
The boys will have to learn items of vocabulary EVERY week and WRITE them in their book AS PART OF THEIR HOMEWORK. This should take about 10 to 15 mins of the allocated time. If it takes longer, please let me know and I will reduce the amount to be learnt.

We have discussed in class how to learn vocabulary, but here are some useful links for home:

Good luck, bonne chance!!
