Session Summary:
Pavan did really well today. I particularly appreciate how well he did, considering what a crazy, hectic week he's been having. He really cranked out the work today. First, he translated an authentic piece of a French literature, «La dernière lettre de Guy Môquet» about a 17-year-old Resistance fighter who wrote this letter just before his execution. Then he did a great job translating the set of sentences «Le monde du travail». Then we started on our translation together the famous story by Alphonse Daudet, «La dernière classe» about the last French class a teacher in Alsace gives when Alsace was returned to the Germans. I left Pavan with the homework of writing two paragraphs of strong, good French in response to «La dernière letter de Guy Môquet», which I asked Pavan to send to me so I can review it for grammar and content. Terrific work today, Pavan! Thanks so much for your good, hard work today.
