Writing Activities (10 minutes)

1.     Last week you made a list of what you have been doing during this time.  You should have a few journal entries about it now as well.  Now I want you to plan what you would like to do with these entries.  What I mean by this, is I want you to plan, what exactly you will do to put it all together into a bigger collection later on.  Some ideas include, a journal, a video blog, a comic strip medium or some kind of digital medium.  This can be whatever you want it to be.  You can share it with your family, or just me, or keep it to yourself.  It is meant to be a tool of reflection.  Just remember, il faut que ça soit en français!

Remember to only choose one from each category.

Oral/Listening Activities (10 minutes)

1.     Same activity from last week, but make 10 new cards to add to your collection!  If you have a family member in your household, a parent or sibling or another relative who speaks French, then play five second rule!  You will need a timer, paper and a something to write with.  First, each person will write a category of items that could be listed.  For example, “Nommez trois types de fruits” (Name 3 types of fruit) and so on. Once all of the papers have been created, then get playing!  If the person gets it wrong then no points, if they get it right, then they get the points!  First one to who has the most points after twenty minutes, wins!

OR

2.     If you do not have a relative who speaks French, then you can still play option 2 of 5 second rule!  Prepare cards the same way, only when you (the student) responds, you will have to respond in French.  This is actually a little harder, so give yourself 10 seconds!  But the person playing in English only has 5 seconds!

Reading Activities (40 minutes)

Today, I want you to login and explore the je lis, je lis littératie website.  You should have already contacted me by now looking for your login information.  If you have not, then shoot me an email and I will get back to you as soon as possible.  Look around at the different leveled books, even if they are way too easy.  Try clicking the slow down and speed up buttons and try and read some, out loud, to yourself, just to get used to it. https://jelis-free.rkpublishing.com/student

Hello!

Be a Tree: Mindfulness Activity

This activity is a mediation to encourage you to embrace stillness and be open to what is around you.

Choose a spot outside, preferably where there are trees. Stand or sit still and relax, just like a tree.  Imagine that you have roots growing from under your feet into the earth.  Spread your fingers and notice the feel of the breeze or wind moving past your hands, just like wind passing through tree branches.  Close your eyes, if you are comfortable doing this, and experience the feeling of being still and quiet in the open.  Listen to the sounds around you for several minutes.  Then, you can tell someone about your mediation.  You can also write about it or draw a picture of it.
