Some more work from Year 8

By now you should have had a chance to look at some of the written work other people have done. 

You won’t have seen all of the work, but here are some links to more of the storybirds.

Have a look at them and make a comment on this blog. Remember that all comments on this site are moderated and will not be published if I feel that they are going to cause offence to anyone. Don’t write anything you wouldn’t like your parents, or grandparents, to see!

Peer reviews

This week pupils in Years 7 and 8 are going to be reviewing the work that they and their classmates have done this half term

Year 8 will  be reading the work that has been produced for the task “Qu’est-ce que tu as fait le weekend dernier?” You will have the opportunity to comment on the work other people in the year group have done, and to reply to comments about your own work. Remember to be honest and constructive in your comments.

Year 7 pupils are going to be completing their descriptions of rooms in a house in draft. Remember that the focus was on use of prepositions! When the drafts are complete you’re going to pair up to edit your work.

Accent shortcuts

Remember that lots of words need accented letters .

You can use these accent shortcuts if you have a full sized keboard (i.e. with a separate number pad)

You need to press the ALT key, then the number shortcut, e.g. ALT 133 = à, ALT 130 = é

Salut !

This week Y8 are attempting some collabortative writing using the perfect tense.

We’ve spent a few weeks looking at formation of the tense – past participles, auxiliary verbs and stuff like that (remember “avoir” & “être”?).

I used www.storybird.com to show them this le weekend dernier
