assn 4 - Grade 7 french
Title of activity: Christmas songs
Reference to URL of online resource: http://www.alapetiteecole.com/chansons/
Grade level: 7
Subject: French
Brief description of activity: Students will go to this website where they will find a variety of christmas songs. The words are given in french and the tune of the song is played. We would sing the songs together and learn new vocabulary as well as review already known vocabulary. The first song I would choose that is well known is "Le petit renne au nez rouge" which is Rudolph the red nose reindeer. This would be used when we are studying the christmas holidays after we have already learned some vocabulary and important information. The students would be evaluated on their participation, pronunciation, and possibly a quiz on new vocabulary learned from the songs.
General learner outcome:
· Students will apply vocabulary and language concepts with a higher level accuracy.
Specific learner outcome:
· Students will demonstrate understanding of key words and ideas in simple, concrete, or adapted or authentic written texts.
List of the most relevant ICT outcomes:
· P5 1.2 – access hyper linked sites on an intranet or the internet
· C6.1.3 - use technology to support and present conclusions
· C7.1.3 - draw conclusions from organized information
Why use technology? This website gives a variety of christmas songs that would be great for students to learn as something fun and to learn new vocabulary. They could use their knowledge of the songs in english to decipher the meaning of words in french. This site also plays the tune of the song so that we can sing along. It would be cheaper an easier than buying a cd of french songs and this way the kids would have to read the words and pronounce them on their own instead of listening and copying from a cd.

Crowsnest Fire Powerpoint
Changes I made to the presentation and why:
1. I added a title page and put headings throughout. With headings the readers will know specifically what each slide is about, it is more precise, and they will comprehend the information better.
2. I used consistent colour throughout. The colours of the original made it very hard to read and focus. I think it also looks more put together if it is consistent.
3. I took out some information because not all of it was really important (there were also a few spelling errors). I also put it in bullet format with shorter sentences which makes it easier for the reader and less complicating.
4. I took out the way the words came in on the second and third slides. I found that very distracting. The first one was too slow and the second one was fast and annoying I would say. It is much easier if the information is just there, easier to follow.
5. I made the font larger. The readers need to be able to easily read the information and it was not easy at all in the first presentation.

Who am I?
My name is Kirstie and I'm in my fourth year of studies at the University of Lethbridge. My major is french/spanish and education of course! I'm really looking forward to the semester and am enjoying my classes thus far.
I was born and raised in Trail, B.C., a very small town in the south. I absolutely love B.C. and plan to go back when I complete my degree. I'd first like to teach in Europe, most likely France and Spain, possibly Belgium as well. I love my major and really look forward to getting the great cultural experience of living in these places. I studied in Quebec City last semester at Laval. It was absolutely amazing; I had the best time of my life! It is a beautiful city and I would highly recommend visiting it if you ever go to Quebec.
I come from a small but awesome family! I grew up with my parents and my older sister. We've always had cats and dogs and my mom, sister and I used to go to horseback riding camps every year which I loved!!
My all time favorite thing to do is dance! I have danced competitively since the age of 7, began to dance when I was 6, and continue to compete to this day with the U of L dance team, which has now become a dance company my instructor started called LA dance. I used to do everything, tap, jazz, ballet, hip hop, musical theatre, contemporary and modern. With LA dance we only do jazz and hip hop but tap is definitely my all time favorite. I even took a modern/jazz class in Quebec which was a great experience. Nothing like being the only anglophone in the class!!
NB All assignments are due on the day of class and must be passed by the end of the course.
