Homework for March 07

Please complete activities A and B on page 93 on this new handout. If you need to review the possessive adjectives first I recommend this page from the University of Texas.

Also, please review the verb "avoir" and study the idiomatic expressions with "avoir" on pages 94 - 95. There are exercises on page 96  we will do together in class. If you have time to start doing them on your own it's great but if your time is limited don't worry about them.
​
The next film episode we will watch and work on goes from 9 min 32" to 12". Now that you have your DVDs you can watch ahead if you'd like.
