Information Update
November 5th you will be given the oral part towards the end of class.
November 7th you will be given the written part. After the test you will be given a copy of the answers to your workbook exercises (make sure that you pick up a copy before you leave). Make your corrections and be ready to turn in the homework on Monday, November 10th. I will check your corrections and the assignments that you could not check yourself. I will return your homework to you on Wednesday, November 12th.
Contents of Chapter Five and Six Test:
1. Verb conjugations
2. Adjectives and adjective agreement
3. Prepositions of distance (i.e. close to, far from, etc.)
4. Time: You will have to write out the numbers for the 24 hour clock
5. Use of prepositions à/de/chez/en
Homework Update.
I am going to try something new in order to cut down on our workload. On Friday, November 7, after your test you will be given an answer sheet with the answers to the workbooks. Check your answers and make the corrections. On Monday, November 10, I will collect your work and spot check the exercises that you couldn't check. You will receive a grade based on your corrections and my corrections. I will return your homework to you on Wednesday, November 12. Remember to follow any one of the three procedures for turning in your homework. The fewer books I have, the better it is for me.

Par Ecrit News.
The sections for Par Ecrit are designed to help you cover a grammatical point that will be used in the class or be on a quiz or test. You will be able to earn EIGHT points that will be a part of your homework grade. All of the assignments are from your textbook. We have already completed TWO Par Ecrit exercises. Here are the dates that the others are due:
 Par Ecrit #6 (p. 173: ex. 30 and 31) due Friday, Nov. 14th
Par Ecrit #7 (p. 189: ex. 10) due Wednesday, Nov. 19th

All homework
is to be turned in
on the due date.
Any late homework
will be checked,
but not graded.
Workbook Reminder:
You have three options for turning in your writing and lab workbooks:
1. Write the answers on a separate sheet of paper.
2. Make photo copies of your work.
3. Tear out the pages of your workbook.
If anyone objects terribly to any of the three options above, please come and see me and I MIGHT make an exception. Remember: I have a total of 64 students in French 1310 and I am trying to avoid a hernia carrying your books to my office! Thank you!
