Functional French, Tuesday, Period 2
By the time he got to the classroom, Henry was dressed fairly normally and had washed his face and hands.
He counted all of this as an accomplishment.
"We're talking about shopping for clothes today," he said. "I could spend the hour talking about the history of haute couture -- here, have a handout -- but that strikes me as a pretty boring way to spend a day." A beat, during which Henry could practically hear his friend Gomez laughing at him. "We're playing dress-up instead."
He passed out a vocabulary sheet, and gestured to a stack of French fashion magazines he'd requisitioned from the library.
"Spend as long as you want looking through these, then put together an outfit from the racks of clothes at the back of the room. Talk to each other in French about what you're picking out."

Re: Activity - Clothing [5/25]
She was browsing through the racks, putting outfits together and discarding them almost as quickly. She eventually put together a few options she found satisfactory -- that were not her normal choices of blue or white, thank you -- and was rather wishing they got to keep the spoils of today's class.
