Abby’s first hour was completing the reading, in French then the translating of chapter 6 of Presque Mort. I asked Abby questions in French and she answered in French. We reviewed the grammar, new vocabulary, the characters and the plot. Since this story takes place in France, a portion of our time is spent discussing the culture, customs and history that is presented. Abby also uses her computer to see images of the various cities, and historical sites, and the characters discussed.
The second hour, we went outside and Abby made entries into her journal. She discussed the cold weather we are experiencing, and the trip she took over Thanksgiving vacation. She also talked about her excitement with her upcoming Christmas trip to Utah with her family. In writing her journal, Abby uses vocabulary and grammar she learned in class. She did very well.
