Aujourd'hui we practiced all of our French skills with the intro to the new unit "Studio Créateur" (an art unit!) We read about Picasso (adapted from Encyclopédie Découverte), watched/listened to an animated video on him (see here), and then made our own Picasso drawings and described them.

Some feedback from the presentations today:
dessin**** soft s, silent n (the 'in' sound is nasal)
allongée (ah-lon-soft j)
nez****(silent z)
a (ah!)
visage (vee-z-ah-j)
oeil (euh-y)
épais(se)** (I need to hear the difference between épais (silent s) / épaisse (pronounce s)
ouvert(e) (I need to hear the difference between ouvert (silent t) / ouverte (pronounce t)
des yeux (liaison, z sound before y: day-zyeu)
Picasso (french!)*

Good job! You all pronounced bouche/lèvres correctly, and had good flow and expression (and those drawings! Formidable.)

Demain, we will finish the presentations. Please bring your drawings with you!
