Bonjour,
We
will be preparing students for the Gala d’art
oratoire which
is a showcase and a celebration of student achievement in French public
speaking. The Gala is not a competition. The only “competition” part of the
process is the school’s selection process to determine which presentation at
various grade levels will represent the school. One student per grade level
will participate in the Gala.
Students
will select a poem (poème/comptine) to memorize and present to the class
(maximum 1.5 minutes in length).
After
presenting to the class, some students will be selected to present in front of
the school. The school district has prepared a rubric to facilitate the
selection of these students.
One
student from grade 3 will be chosen to represent the school at the Gala d’art
oratoire 2016 to be held on Saturday, May 28 from 1:00 to 1:45 p.m. (division
1) at Bishop Grandin Theatre. The students will give their presentations on the
stage before the audience. All of the
Gala participants are presented with certificates at the end of the day.
In
order to begin preparing for this activity, your child is asked to go on the
following websites and select a poem of his/her choice. Each student should
bring to school a printed copy of the poem by Wednesday, March 23.
Upon
our return to school on April 4, your child will begin practicing and
memorizing the poem.
Have
fun exploring the websites!
