Elle and I did an oral review of greetings and salutations. We went on to review basic conversational questions using an activity worksheet I had prepared for her. Elle knows 90% of the vocabulary and I supplied the remaining. She repeated the conversational sentences but was very resistant to writing them out. I changed the activity to one in which she could write out the French sentences on her computer. I asked her to choose, from the activity worksheet, the sentence that says: when is your birthday? She identified it on the sheet but was hesitant to write it out even on the computer. Elle needs writing practice in French. We will continue learn to write in French next week.
Elle spent a lot of time searching pictures on the computer and putting them on her word document. I had to redirect her activity many times. By the end of the hour, she did have 8 sentences on her word document but had to copy them directly from the activity sheet. If this had been a quiz, she would have had 50%.
