From the French Department...

 In Français, it's time for another CFOO (Le Club Fabuleux des Orateurs et Oratrices)! 

This is a public speaking "club" that will help students improve their oral French skills through short speeches.

For this presentation, students must choose one of the five Creativity options: a magic trick, a commercial, an art masterpiece, telling jokes / riddles or showing off creative uses for an everyday object. They will then prepare their short oral presentation, fulfilling all of the criteria (listed on the page they have in their binder).

Students should also keep in mind eye contact, volume and expression during their presentation.

The CFOO Presentations will take place on Tuesday, December 12th.
