Vocabulary and Grammar Workbook
The newly acquired French curriculum provides a well-rounded approach to language learning. The accomgpaning CDs will allow a language lab session with each lesson. Up-to-date cultural material is included with each lesson in addition to vocabulary and grammar. You will learn to speak, understand, read, and write French! In fact, after this year, you may be able to seek employment in a francophone!!
We will have weekly scripture memory and learn Psalm 23 in French by end the year.
REQUIREMENTS: a loose leaf notebook always containing usable paper
blue or black ink pen (not pink, purple, green, etc.---BLEU OU NOIR)
GRADING: All points earned will be divided by the total number of points possible. Daily participation and doing assigned homework will add "beaucoup" points. Bonus points will be available on every test and on most quizzes.
Grades will be posted weekly and may be checked via the grade book on the computer.
QUIZZES: 20-50 pts. weekly vocabulary
weekly oral scripture memory and other oral work
pop quizzes as deemed necessary (HINT: being prepared for class eliminates the need for some quizzes!)
TESTS: 100 pts. usually after every chapter
QUARTER PROJECT: 100 pts. research and oral reports will be given in English two quarters, one quarter your biography will be given in French and the last quarter we may present a French play for the elementary.
RULES:
You must be in your seat ready to begin (books, paper, pen on your desk) within 10 seconds of the ringing of the tardy bell or you will be marked tardy. You will have a short assignment to complete the first few minutes of each class period . Always look on the board for your instructions for beginning each class. Usually these will be assignments to be completed individually without talking. Each day will require oral participation. Should a student interfere with the teaching of the class, an additional assignment will be given to be turned in at the beginning of the next class.
Each class period: you will need to bring your textbook, your vocabulary work book, your notebook with ample paper and a pen.
Participation in classroom activities is essential.
************************NO GUM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is too difficult to learn to pronounce new sounds with gum in your mouth.
Lesson plans will be posted on my page of the school website. You should be able to see the current as well as least one previous week. Any missed work listed that you do not understand, please check with me or with another student in the class. You will be expected to follow the handbook guidelines for turning in work missed while absent and for scheduling make-up quizzes and tests. It will be your responsibility to make up the missed work.
Homework is to be kept in your notebook. Some days I will collect homework for a grade, other days I may do a notebook check. All work must have your name and the date in French on the upper right corner of the paper. Assignments not completed the date due may be turned in the following day for less points. I will try to give time in class for longer assignments. You will not have an assignment each night and I try not to give assignments over the weekend and never during holidays. Assigned work is to give you practice and to help you to learn. Learning a language is similar to learning to play a sport or an instrument - repetitive practice is required to excel. If you have a valid reason for not having an assignment completed, please let me know- before class if possible. Je peux etre un peu gentille! Never hesitate to call me at home if you need help.
Je puis tout par Christ qui me fortifie.
