VACATION WORK - Keep a daily journal of what you do, see, think and hear. Consider talking about challenges (les defis) your family (la famille) and yourself (l'enquete de soi) as these are three areas that will show up on the exam. We will exhaust the others along the way to the test.
You should write at least 10 entries during your vacation. 20 - 30 minutes per day is necessary to really make progress. These entries will be worth 20 points each so make sure they are productive, not repetitive of each other and full of new vocabulary, a variety of verbs and idiomatic expression. Use the handout I gave you last fall as a resource and watch your writing flourish.
