Homework over the Break

Book Report

Due date: January 5^th, 2015

 

You should thoroughly answer these questions:
1. What is the name of the book? Who is the author? How many pages are in the book? These questions should be answered in one or two complete sentences. You don't need to rewrite the question; simply number the answer.

2. What kind of book is it? Fiction? Non-fiction? Biography?  This is a couple of sentences long. Say what makes it "fiction" or "non-fiction".

3. How many days did it take you to read this book? This is about one sentence.

4. Who are the top three or four characters? Tell me about them. Why are they important? List them and say a little about each one. This could be about a half a page to over a page long.


5. Tell me what the book is about. Summarize the plot . Use your own words and ideas to describe the story. If the book is a collection of short stories, pick the three best and explain their plots. If the book is not fiction, explain the main idea and the supporting details or arguments. If it is organized historically, give a list of the important events in the text. This could run from one and a half page to several pages. Don't make it too long or too short; you don't need to explain every little detail in the plot).

6. Now give me some analysis of the book.  Answer these questions in full detail.
Tell me why you liked or did not like about the book?
 Was it too hard or easy to understand? Was the vocabulary too hard?
 Would you recommend it to a friend. Did you see a movie or video of the book?
 Was the story something you could relate to or was it not connected to your real life

Salam Everyone,

Assalamu Alaikum Dear Parents

Time is just flying by and winter break is already at the door.

So far we are working on our daily vocabulary related to weather and winter clothing and activities, using it in sentences, questions and answers. Al Hamdulillah, students gaining more fluency in French and are able to describe and talk about winter.

We are still working on our first story “L’Arbre Ungali”. We already finished the 3 reading comprehension and writing activities related to the story “Les questions totals,Les mots en ordre and Les phrases bizarres”. We did also the negative form using ne………pas.

Update:

• Tuesday, December 9, we are having the 2st French test: spelling, les mots en ordre and the negative form.
• The spelling list for Tuesday is:

1. Je joue avec mon ami.
2. Il porte un manteau de neige.
3. Est-ce que tu peux m’aider?
4. Tu mange une pomme.
5. IL lit l’histoire.

• Les mots en ordre are related to the story. We did the same activity in class and corrected each sentence. We worked on the negative form in class and students are familiar with it.

Jazakum Allah Kheiran for your cooperation and your support.
