The student reviewed numbers 1-10, learned how to ask and how to answer the question "How old are you?" and proceeded in learning the song for the Talent Contest.

Student learned more animal vocabulary and to prepare a song for the Talent Show.

Sebastian began the session on Duo-Lingo - Basics 1. He logged a little bit of time reviewing the basics but his haste resulted in one or two avoidable errors, which he self-corrected. I reminded him that it is not a race and encouraged him to take a bit more time to review the options before making a selection - especially in the pairing exercise. We then created the introduction to a scenario in which he might find himself when visiting another country. We practiced our greetings and honorific salutation (to people whose names he knows, women, and men. We then practiced introducing ourselves, by name and asking , "Do you want to play with me? Voulez-vous jouer avec moi?" Sebastian had a grand old time mimicking my accent and he demonstrated a good ability to pronounce more challenging words (Wednesday, or mercredi). We had a fun and productive session. I am encouraged that Sebastian is becoming increasingly willing to respond in French, and to engage in dialogue, with increasingly better pronunciation of words.

The lesson meant to have student start preparing to shoot a movie in French, with vocabulary related to the project.

We did more work on animals, including a few wild animals. Student started to prepare the song "Dans la foret lointaine".

Sebastian engaged in a robust game of Noodles after Ms. Judie asked how it was played. We had a hysterical time playing for a while. When I wanted to log onto Duo Lingo, Sebastian explained that he did not have the password to log onto the app. We began noting commonalities between French and English by discussing root words. For example, we noted how similar the word dommage (noun) is to the English equivalent damage - and that 'C'est dommage' translated means it is a pity. Sebastian. We reviewed some prior words, and Ms. Judie noted her name is similar to a day of the week, and he remembered 'jeudi,' which was a good venue to refresh our recall of salutations. We discussed how the salutation for Mrs. is Madame and reviewed the greetings for Miss and Mister- titles that are used before surnames or full names as a sign of respect, which are abbreviated Mlle, Mme, and Mr. Sebastian is comfortable with me and said he is happy when he sees he has me on his schedule; I was pleased and honored to hear this.

We actually began today's session playing a noodle game that had been left in Sebastian's classroom by his OT tacher. He wanted to play it very much, explained the rules and we played one fun round prior to beginning today's lesson. I will teach him how to ask a friend to play a game with him in our next session as this would be a great ice breaker when meeting friends in new/foreign countries. Today, we practiced how to say hello, ask how someone is doing, respond in various ways, and say goodbye in an informal register/context in French. I asked Sebastian to repeat the phrases after me and we worked on pronunciation. I also demonstrated how to address different people. I explained that there are three honorifics commonly used in French and they function much the same as "Mr.," "Mrs.," and "Miss" do in American English. Married women are addressed as madame, as are older women, and young and unmarried women are adressed as mademoiselle. We practiced using Sebastian's peers and teachers as examples, as well as 'Madame' Judie. It was a productive and engaging session. It should be noted that Sebastian informed me he is unable to log onto DuoLingo when I inquired about it. I mentioned that mom is going to look into it as we will be incorporating it in future sessions.

Sebastian first reviewed the days of the week and practiced correct pronunciations. We then reviewed some introductory phrases and vocabulary words, and I was delighted that when asked how he was, in French, Sebastain responded "ca va bien' (things are going well) without skipping a beat. We then turned to DuoLingo - the French app. I installed it on my phone as Sebastian had trouble accessing it today for some reason. We started on a beginning lesson and Sebastian did very well, even doing an extra challenge. His only error was due to his speed of response matching "Je" to I, and he readily accepted and did well on the challenge bonus round, successfully progressing to the next level when it was time for our session to end. Sebastian seems comfortable and is amenable working with me on some topics and activities suggested as we move forward in conversational French.
