Lesson Topic
Review: Regular and Stem-Changing Present Tense Verbs/Presentation: Adjectives
Lesson Outline
Today, Lilly and I reviewed once again the regular and stem-changing present tense verbs we have been studying the past couple of weeks. We began by completing a crossword puzzle to practice their conjugation and then using Quizlet flashcards, I tested Lilly on her knowledge of their meanings. We used a storyboard to use the verbs to orally relay the events of the story; we challenged ourselves to use 5 sentences per image. As an introduction to what we will be looking at next week (adjectives), since Lilly loves the show Grey's Anatomy, I asked her to explain whether she prefers McDreamy or McSteamy and why using adjectives. We quickly reviewed the conjugation of the irregular verbs "etre" and "avoir," which are essential for descriptions, and then took a quick glance at what is to come next week (physical and personality descriptions).
Assignment
Lilly should continue to study her regular present-tense verbs (vocabulary and conjugation) as well as memorize the conjugations of "etre" and "avoir."

Lesson Comments
Lilly showed up over a half-hour late to today's session! I texted her mother to see if she was okay and her mother replied that something had happened because Lilly was a grump storming through the house, but she did not get a chance to find out because she was on a work call. When Lilly finally arrived, I asked her what had happened and she said there was an accident on the turnpike. Once again, she did not have her notes or the exercises from the previous session; I suspect that she was late because she ran home to get them, but she said she could not find them. Earlier this week, after my conversation with Judie over the weekend, I emailed Lilly and requested that she study the verb vocabulary and complete exercises. Since she did not have the notes with her, we could not review the exercises and she did not know the vocabulary very well either. I impressed upon her the importance of her studying her French notes, but she said she is busy working on her college applications. I will speak to her mom later today, but it is difficult to make progress with Lilly when she does not do any work outside of class, arrives late and is unprepared.
