3.41 Cross-examining the text ="Mise en question". Collaborative exercise in class with moderators. This exercise asks you to step back from the story and look at it from a different angle. As homework students must re-read the story segment of the lesson in the text book, and formulate oral responses. Once in class these questions are to be answered orally, without text.
3.42- 3.43 Role-playing and reinvention of the story: First listen to the dialogue between character X and the dog Fido. It shows you how to recombine the words and phrases of lesson 2 and 3. Then working with a real partner, another student, invent an encounter between character X and Y. Keep the conversation going as long as you can, drawing upon the material you have studied. Use your imagination but keep within the limits of what you have studied.
If you decide to make this a written
exercise, work with a partner. The only rule to be respected is
to use only expressions that you have already learned (unless
you are absolutly sure of the new expression you are introducing).
Above all refrain from concocting an English dialogue and then
trying to translate it into French. This is a complete waste of
your time.
