HOLIDAY HOMEWORK

Map of France
On the map of France you were given, fill in the names of all the regions IN FRENCH, and the capital of each region. Don't do departments, there are too many (100) and you will go mad.
Your Region
Research the cuisine for your region.
These are the key points:
1. What fresh produce is the region particularly noted for? eg Normandy - apples (amongst others.)
2. What specialities of the region are made from this fresh produce? eg cider.
3. What cheese(s) are particular to the region? What are they like? How made? From which animal's milk? etc
4. Is there a notable wine of the region?
5. Is the regional cuisine influenced by its proximity to another country, or the sea etc? And how so?
6. Find a couple of interesting regional dishes, and their recipes. The French tend to eat animals and bits of animals that are unfamiliar to Australians - that makes for interesting dishes!
ALL THE ABOVE INFORMATION NEEDS TO BE POSTED ON YOUR BLOG BY your first week back at school.

Bonnes Vacances!

Classwork for those who missed:  Pair conversations - assessed.  Chat room question and answers - on 'rendezvous' under 'chat rooms'.
Revise irregular verb VENIR (to come) in the present tense
je viens
tu viens

The verb VENIR - followed by 'de' and 'an infinitive' is used to construct a tense called the 'Passe Recent'.  This tense indicates something that just happened.
eg Je viens de manger un croque-monsieur.  - I just ate a ham and cheese toastie.
Nous venons d'arriver a l'ecole.  We just arrived at school.
