Phrase of the day: avoir un chat dans la gorge

Students read a couple of articles today, one from Le Soleil and one from Le Figaro regarding the current retirement crisis in France. We discussed these articles in terms of using the forms of the future and conditional in French. Students were asked, to not only pick out forms of the passé composé, but to identify the future and conditional in the articles. Students were asked to bring in their texts tomorrow.
