A Novel Study + Monday Agenda Items

Zamboni by François Gravel

We have started a novel study (Zamboni) in Français. We will be reading the book together as a class and will be dong word work, class discussion, and independent reflection with each chapter. For the next three weeks, if students are absent from school, they will be asked to check in Teams to read (and listen to) the day's chapter and to complete the assigned questions. (The questions can be completed and submitted in Teams, or written by hand and turned in upon return to school.) If a chapter was completed in class, it will be uploaded to Teams by 12:30 the same day. No new post = no new chapter to read. Keeping up-to-date with the story will be critical to demonstrating an understanding of the text. Thank you in advance for your hard work!
