CHAPITRE 8: Le�on 1


Chapitre 8, Le�on 1

Textbook assignment:

 

____ 1. Go over the chapter vocabulary for this le�on as per previous directions.

 

____ 2. Points de d�part, pages 293-294

__   Read over the text on page 293 for comprehension. Remember that when reading, you may have to reread a sentence or paragraph several times in order for all of the pieces to fall into place. Read the text through a couple of times before looking up vocabulary words you may not know.

One of the reasons for beginning each lesson with a reading/pronunciation of the chapter�s vocabulary is that you become more familiar with a new word each time you�re exposed to it. This should help you be able to accurately guess the meaning of new words when you see them in context. And if it doesn�t, you�ll remember seeing the word in the vocabulary list and be able to quickly refer to the list to look it up. It�s helpful to mark each of the vocabulary lists with a tab for a quick reference.

Usually the most important new words used in the Points de d�part section are illustrated immediately following the reading or dialogue. If a word you�re looking for doesn�t appear there or in the vocabulary list at the end of the chapter, it can often be found in the French-English dictionary at the back of the book (beginning on page A13). There is also an English-French lexicon that you�ll find useful.
