Structures
NOTESFor our work on grammatical structures, we will be using Reprise, a workbook, as our primary source. Clés de l’Actualité is a weekly magazine published in France for high school students. It contains a four-page section called Dossier which is an in-depth study of personalities, themes, and various aspects of society. During each period of the syllabus, students will participate in activities, written, oral For the work that students are expected to do at this level, a French dictionary is an indispensable tool. Students should have one available for reading assignments,etc. The use of a dictionary will not be allowed during the writing of compositions or during tests or exams. English versions of materials we are reading are not allowed in class. Evaluation will be based on oral presentations, class discussions, listening comprehension, homework, group activities, debates, tests, quizzes, essays, critical analyses, summaries and personal reflections. The MYP objectives for foreign languages incorporate, within the framework of the areas of interaction, the four skills fundamental to language learning: speaking, listening, reading and writing, as well as intercultural awareness.

Grading
Reassessments The following procedures will be used: 1. Students will need to attend a 45-minute re-teach session at lunch immediately following the return of an assessment. Please note--student needs to bring lunch because the session does not allow for time to go pick up lunch. 2. The retest will occur at lunch on the Friday immediately following the re-teach session. This will be the only opportunity for a reassessment. 3. All re-teach/re-assess sessions will be held in room C-306 and will begin immediately. 4. Re-teach sessions will include activities such as one-on-one tutoring by Mrs. Ainsworth or a member of the French Honor Society, as well as completion of practice exercises. Students will be expected to bring completed activities and homework assignments which they used to prepare for the original assessment. 5. Summative assessments both oral and written which are given at the end of each unit will not be reassessed. Students will be informed in advance of re-assessment opportunities |
