Le froid et le vent!

There hasn't been a blog update in a while, here it is. Not very exciting but an update none-the-less:

Reports are coming out soon, February 11th ish. So, students have quite a few assignments to complete in a hurry!

Due this week:
Cartes: Le Continent Africain, L'Amerique du Sud
A L'Aeroport
30 Phrases

As well, just a quick note to remind students that all "Histoire" and "Geographie" assignments must include:

-Something that's been said (in other words, something we discussed in class)
-Something that you've read (as in something you found in the textbook)
-Something from the web (like something you researched on a reliable website online)
-Something from your head (so something that shows you can relate your personal experience to what's going on in the "Geo" or "Histoire" programme.

Mardi, un peu de soleil.
