Bonjour,
We
will be preparing students for the Gala d’art
oratoire 2017 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
have selected 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 other grade 3 class. 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 2017 to be held on Saturday, May 27 from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. at Bishop
McNally Theatre, 5700 Falconridge Blvd N.E. 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 to begin practicing
and memorizing the poem in order to present to the class on Monday, May 8.
If
your child is chosen to present at the Gala d’art oratoire, a letter will be
sent home.
