Ma Petite Histoire Composition~ Ch. 6
Think of an événement • Happy • Funny • Embarrassing • Scary • Surprising • Amazing!
Consider: What was already going on before event happened? • How old were you? • What were you feeling? • What did people look like/what were you wearing,what was weather like, etc. • What actions were already in motion- what was already going on? • These kinds of things would be IMPARFAIT
What were the actual event/s? • The thing that finally happens! • (and any events leading up to it) • Your (or other people’s) reactions • Results or consequences • These words will use passé composé • Examples: I fell! He screamed! It jumped out at me! Everyone laughed!” Etc.
How did you or other people respond or react? • What they said? • (Il m’a dit….) • How you felt (in this case reactionary)? • (J’ai été embarassé) – (I got embarassed) • Results? (On s’est marié!) • These kinds of things are usually passé composé
Feelings in PC vs IMP • Usually, how you feel will be in imparfait. However, there is a slight difference when you use them in passé composé: • J’ avais peur- I was scared • J’ai eu peur- I GOT scared • J’ étais malade- I was sick • J’ai été malade- I GOT sick
8 sentences minimum • KEEP IT SIMPLE! • Be sure to have a good mix of Imparfait and Passé Composé • It can get frustrating when you can’t express yourself as well in another language, so edit your complex sentences into shorter, children’s book level sentences. (see my examples) • You can write more for extra credit!!!
Grading rubric • 80% Content (8+ sentences; grasped concept- was able to tell story, grammar, spelling, etc) • 20% Presentation (how much time you spent on making it interesting, neatness, care, etc) • MEGA PARTICIPATION PTS!! If you have it ready to go first thing when class starts.
Rough Draft • You can type it or write it by hand. Please be sure to: • Double Space so that I have room to write corrections • Write legibly so that I can understand what you are trying to say! • Rough Draft Due: mardi, le 18 octobre • Final Creative Story Due: mardi le 25 octobre
Amusez-Vous! • I hope that you have some fun with this! • Telling your story…c’est un très bon exercice …in your 2nd language, plus it’s a very effective learning tool, since you are talking about things that are actually meaningful to you.
