If you left them at home, or in your car, or in the doghouse, bring em tomorrow. Lastly, you need to illustrate three of the idioms from the handout I gave you in class today. As I explained in class, you will write the idiom in french, and then draw two sketches: One that shows the literal meaning of the French idiom-- ie, if you're drawing : Il A UN CHAT DANS LA GORGE, draw a picture of someone with the silhouette of a cat in their throat.
On the other have of the sheet, you will draw a silhouette of someone with the silhouette of a frog in their throat, since HE'S GOT A FROG IN HIS THROAT is the english equivalent of IL A UN CHAT DANS LA GORGE.

You might want to do some of the exercises online at www.go.hrw.com to help you prepare.

Sometimes I wonder why I even input the message on this board. I wish I had a way of finding out the one or two people who check it, and then I would just email them a message instead. It would be interesting to see if the counter stayed at the same number.
(....audible sigh....)
the GOOD NEWS however, is that most of you did MARKEDLY better on your past participle quizzes on Friday. Way to GO!!! A little bit of memorization is a good thing, especially when we're talking about verbs you need to know the meaning of, in order to know what rules to follow to put them into the past tense.
On Friday we did an activity that hopefully allowed you to comprehend the differences which exist in the formation of the passé composé, depending on the type of verb.
For Homework: Finish the handout we started in class on THursday, answering all the questions.
If you lost your notes about the DR MRS VANDERTRAMP verbs, look for them in your book, or just type in DR MRS VANDERTRAMP in Google.
I will NOT accept any excuses --- they are easy to find- really easy if you kept the notes we took in class in your notebook ;o) ----
THEN, in your TPG, you need to do ALL of the activities for the DEUXIEME ETAPE, which are on pages 41-43, activities 9-14. Make sure the past participles agree with the subjects for the DRMRSVANDERTRAMP and reflexive verbs.
LAstly, as I told you on FRIDAY, you will take a QUIZ on this Wednesday when you return. If you need some practice, think about doing some of the following QUIA exercises below:
Cloze: Etre verbs and others in the passé composé
Hangman: Verbs that take Etre in the past tense
Cloze: Etre verbs in the passé composé
Java Game: Vandertramp Verbs
Java Game: Allez, viens! Level 2, Chapitre 5, Deuxième ètape

3.)Remember that the verbs in the questions are in the INFINITIVE form, and they must be changed to the PAST PARTICIPLE.

===================================
MARDI, le 29 janvier
Continued working with the passé composé, but today we worked with the expressions that you need to learn for this étape. We defined the new verbs you must learn, identified whether the auxiliary verb they use in the passé composé is AVOIR or ETRE, then found the past participle, and then put the auxiliary and the past participle together with the subject pronoun JE, and created a sentence in the past tense.
You should have the copy of the PowerPoint presentation we used in class today, and so
your homework is to rewrite the sentences from the PowerPoint, but change them to the third person. In other words, you should use the pronoun IL, or ELLE.
Remember if you use ELLE, that if the verb you are using must use ETRE as an auxiliary, the past participle must agree in gender and number with the subject.
WHAT?!?!?
Il est tombé, mais elle est tombée . Get it, got it, Good! ANd I know, you all wish you had mad dance moves like me.
