Personne Très Importante

Your child is asked to prepare a written report on themselves in French. In order to help your child better organize their ideas with the proper French vocabulary, I have prepared an outline for them to follow. Some of these sentences will apply to your child’s report while others may not. Use what is relevant and feel free to add any other information they may with to share with their classmates.

Please have your child type their report on the computer and send the document to me at or rewrite it on looseleaf (double-spaced please!) and send it to school along with their poster of pictures and special objects to share for the due date noted on the letter attached.

Thanks for your support and cooperation,

Mme Paquet

** This last section is best done one place at a time. Simply repeat the first 3 sentences for each place. For example a student might say that they went to Hawaii on a winter holiday and that they went to the beach every day. They might add that they saw whales and tropical fish. Then they would talk about another place. Students should choose 2 or 3 places to talk about. If they wish, they can also add that they have also visited A, B and C, without adding what they did in each place.
