This essay about the rooms of my house was written in tandem with our unit where we learned the vocabulary required to describe rooms and furniture. This was the first essay of the year and it was focused on establishing our progress since the placement test we had taken the previous May. In this essay I described four rooms of my house: the bedroom, kitchen, office and living room.
This essay was written based on the movie we watched in French class called Azur et Asmar, and was focused on the life of Azur, one of the main characters. The movie gave exposure to the wider francophone world, especially the French speaking population of North Africa by including Arabic and being set in an environment which resembled North Africa. Watching and understanding the movie before writing the essay and discussing it helped develop my comprehension and writing skills simultaneously.
