Ms. Arcangeli's French 3 class used small group think tanks and large group class discussion to determine the rules of a new tense they are learning. Students were given example sentences and had to determine the subject, verb, verb "stem", and verb "ending" to draw their conclusions. After meeting as small groups the class came together as one and brainstormed tense rules. In the past, Ms. Arcangeli taught her students the rules of each tense; this new way of diving in to the French language left students with a better understanding of phonetics and grammar. All together, the class discovered four rules this new tense followed.
