The following activities are optional and are meant to be done at your own pace. You may choose to share your assignments with me but it is not expected that you e-mail me these assignments.
Activity #1: Go for a walk. Enjoy the fresh air. Keep your eyes open for anything interesting. Imagine you’re a bird looking down or an ant looking up. Pay attention to the path you take.
Fais une promenade. Amuse-toi bien dans l’air frais. Garde tes yeux ouverts aux affaires intéressants. Imagine que tu es un oiseau en regardant le terre d’en haut ou un fourmi d’en bas. Fais attention à ton chemin.
Activity #2: Go for another walk. Try to follow the same path as before. When you get back, recreate the path you took. You can use your toys, you can draw or you can use loose parts from nature to map the route. Include all the important landmarks. Did you pass a park? Store? Gas station? Where are the mountains in relationship to where you started?
Fais une autre promenade. Essaie de suivre le même chemin. Quand tu es de retour, recrée ton chemin. Tu peux utiliser les jouets, la nature ou dessiner pour montrer ton chemin. Inclus tous les points de repères. As-tu passé un parc? Un magasin? Un station-essence? Où sont les montagnes?
Activity #3: Go for a walk or sit in your backyard. Look for something living (ie insect, animal, plant). Observe for at least 5 minutes before drawing. Find a quiet spot where you can continue to observe and do a dessin scientifique/scientific drawing. Remember that this means your drawing is as précis/accurate as possible. Label the parts of your drawing using vocabulary in French.

Project #1: Think about what you noticed on your neighbourhood walks and reflect on the question “what makes Burnaby special?”. Make a “map” of Burnaby by drawing all of these essential services, buildings and/or people. Do not worry about placing these sites accurately on your map but focus on including the important symbols. Label what you have included in your drawing.
For example you may wish to draw the mountains, Metrotown, Burnaby Public Library etc

Activity #10: Open the document below and look at the different professions. Pick a profession of your choice. You can pick from the list or you can pick another one that is not on the list.
