Final assignment « Les vêtements du monstre »
Your final assignment will be to create a monster who will be wearing clothing for 4 different types of weather. You can draw the monster and clothing, mashup different body parts of people and cut up clothing from a magazine to create a monster, or use a stuffed animal you may already have that has a lot of clothing.
You have the choice of sending pictures along with a voice recording, or sending in a video recording of yourself talking about your monster/stuffed animal; all of which you can send through SeeSaw. This assignment is due Friday, May 22nd on SeeSaw.
Task:
1. Please listen to the short story “Les vêtements du monster” that lists different types of clothing on SeeSaw.
2. Create your own ‘monstre’ (or use a stuffed animal) and name it.
3. Choose 4 types of weather and clothing your monster/stuffed animal would wear during this type of weather.
4. Don't forget to use "Il or elle porte depending of if your monster is a girl or a boy.
Example per weather type:
Aujourd’hui c’est nuageux. Sabine porte unpantalon et unchandail. Elle porte unecasquette, et aussideschaussures. (Today it is cloudy. Sabine is wearing pants and a sweater. She is wearing a hat, and alsoshoes.)
*Use my example as a model on how to structure your sentences grade 4s. Do not use le, la, and les for this assignment. Please use un, une, and des when referring to the clothing. Use your clothing sheet sent home with you in March to help with this.
Grade 3s only need to ‘say’ what the weather is and list the clothing their monster is wearing. They can write out the list of clothing as seen on the story for reference. Grade 3s are not assessed on reading or writing in French.
Marks grade 4:
1. Complete sentences.
2. Sentence structure. (Sentences in correct French formation)
3. Proper use of feminine and/or masculine pronouns.
4. Pronunciation.
5. No less than 4 entries.
Marks for grade 3 will be based on pronunciation, effort, and amount of entries.
