Hello parents and guardians of grade 6 Immersion,

Students have been working on creating questions over the last week having to do with interviewing someone who is older than they are.  The goal of the project is for students to examine the differences and similarities over time between their childhoods and those of the person they are interviewing.  Students have created the questions in French and have worked on spelling etc.  

I realize that not all students will have access to a parent or relative who speaks French and able to do the interview in French.  Therefore, the interview may be done in English and students will write their assignments in French in class after the interviews are completed.  Students are encouraged to record the interview on their cell phones, mp3 players (I-pod), or tablets.  This will help them with the third and final part of the project in class. They will be allowed to take them out during class time and then promptly return them to their lockers for safe keeping.  If a student does not have access to a device, than they may write the answers down in point form.

I have ensured that all students have their questions with them.  They one and a half weeks to complete the interview at home.  We will begin the final part of the project in class on October 29th 2018.  I am attaching the assignment explanation in French for those who are interested.

Thanks!  The kids are excited to get started!
