Skype+Report+for+Maud+Perez+students

1st SKYPE Phone call Tuesday, October 18th, 9:45 to 10:30AM HN French 4 / AP French Period 3 (Groups 3, 4, 5, and 6) called Madame Perez Students to conduct an interview about bullying. Language: French. Summary: Group by group, Madame North students called the French Middle school front desk, asked to be transfered to the library, asked to the person who picked the phone to speak with Madame Perez students. Then they conducted their survey about bullying.

__**Report from Group 6 (1st group to conduct the survey):**__ - French middle school students seem to be rather shy – they refused to talk to anyone but Angelo because he didn’t have an American accent when he spoke French. These students also didn’t have a lot to say about bullying – always responding with a “no” or “never.” I’m not sure if this is because they were bored, shy, nervous, or had nothing to say on bullying. Maybe bullying and harassment isn’t as big a problem in France as it is in the United States. -Christina, Group 6

- Quand j'ai parlé avec la collégienne française, elle n'a pas parlé beaucoup. Elle a répondu avec un mot à chacune de mes questions et elle ne semblait pas intéressée. Elle a beaucoup parlé avec Angelo parce qu’elle ne comprennait pas Max, Christina, Selina et Michelle. Je n’ai pas aimé parler avec elle. -Michelle, Group 6

It was very fun talking to French students. Besides the language barrier and the fact that it was sort of hard to get ahold of the students (we were hung up on once), it was still educational. The students we talked to generally answered our questions, although they were a bit on the short side. Hopefully in the future, we will all be able to speak better French and our phone calls will be easier.

C'était très amusant parler avec les eleves français. N ous étions un peu confus parce qu'il était difficile de les contacter. Mais, j'étais enthousiaste à parler aux étudiants. J'espère que dans l'avenir de nos conversations seront mieux. J'ai aimée les et je veux les parler un autre fois. Peut-être, nous pouvons parler d'autres sujets. -Christina Lui, Group 3 __**Report from Group 5**__ Tensions were high as our peers were all eagerly waiting their turns to talk with the students of Mrs. Maud Perez. This was the first time most of us had ever spoken French with an native French student so we were all really excited and nervous at the same time. When our turn came, my group and I went to a private room and called the French school. We asked the secretary to transfer us to the library or (CDI). From there we asked to be transferred to the classroom of Madame Maud Perez. We found that our French friends were just as eagerly excited to talk to us. We began our conversations with a traditional introduction of our names and inquired for theirs. Our conversation broadened to questions about how we were, the weather, and bullying. We were able to understand our pals (with a little help from Angelo). The connection was kind of bad so that added to the communication problems. Overall the conversation went pretty well. We look forward to speaking with our pals again.

Pour notre project, nous parlons avec les étudiants de Professor Maud Perez. En première, nous avons téléphone a la bibliothèque et nous parlons avec la libraire. Nous parlons avec les étudiants individual. Nous a demandons a ses nom er l’ harcèlement en France. Ils demandent a météorologiques. Nous réponse et fini la conversation. La conversation est bien parce que les étudiants sont très gentils. -Adelina, Josh, Anna, Brianne

It was a very good experince to talk to the French students. They seemed to be shy but that it okay because it seemed like it was one of the only times they talked to American students. They were very polite and I think we learned a lot from them. I think we should do this more often to improve our French speaking skills and to break down the language barrier between the French and American students. They answered all the questions we asked and I look foward to hearing from them again. -Joseph DeAngelis C'était très amusantde parler àdes étudiants français.

__**Report from Madame Maud Perez students **__ Hi! It was nice to speak with you. We were excited and impressed because your french is good. We were really happy to speak with you even if we didn't say much we only said yes and no, next time, we will be more talkative, promised! We noticed that when we asked you a question about the weather you didn't answer. We didn't hear you very well because our phone is old or maybe for some other reason. And eventually, in french, you don't say "harrassement" but "harcèlement" ;). French is difficult isn't it? We hope we will work together this year this is amazing. You will hear from us soon! Take care, the students from 3ème euro, Saint Genis Laval, France. :)
