Cher Fred,

Je t’invite à venir faire du camping avec moi lors du prochain congé. Nous dormirons sur le terrain de mon chalet. Nous pourrons faire de la chaloupe, nous raconter des histoires de peur et faire un feu de joie. J’attends ta réponse rapidement.

Ton ami, Bruno
 
 
****For the past two weeks, the students have been working on their Superhero comic strips which are due on Tuesday, October 15th. I have attached below the assignment and criteria in case students forget to take them home over the weekend. Thanks!

Make your own Superhero Comic Strip Project!

 

Now that you have had the opportunity to create your own superhero, you will create your own superhero comic strip!

Once you have shown Mme Mikes your superhero chart, drawing, and story outline, you can get started on your comic strip! In order to help you get started, please fill out the planning sheet to help organize the scenes of the comic strip that you will create.

Once you have finished your planning sheet, please show it to Mme Mikes and then you can get started on your comic strip. You will be able to choose what kind of panel format you want for your comic strip.

Together as a class, we will come up with the criteria on how you will be assessed for this assignment.

 Project Due Date: Tuesday, October 15th
