French is a living language! When you leave the classroom, you will be equipped with the ability to use the French language in
your daily life. This is why homework should be something meaningful to you. Choose 4 of the following activities. Some are
cultural, some invite you to learn more about French, some encourage you to interact with people, and others ask you to
creatively work with the language. Once you complete an activity, show Madame Smith during reasonable times in class
(please NOT at the beginning of the hour), before school from 7:15-7:50, or immediately after school. I will initial and date
each completed section. Each activity is worth 10 points (40 points total). This sheet is to be collected on or before 2:46 PM
