What's included
Homework
Once students have watched the video of the week, they will be expected to fill out a provided worksheet each week and upload a picture to the classroom, as well as post a video to answer a question each week in French. Students will be able to interact with each other through the week in the classroom by answering the question of the week and replying to each other's worksheets and videos. Students will receive individual feedback in the form of a short video each week as a response to their videos. Each week, students will also be provided with a Kahoot! game to play at home.Class Experience
Each week in this class, students will learn the building blocks of French through repetition and voice variation. Each week on Mondays, students will be provided with a 5-10 minute video to watch covering the curriculum of the week. Each video will be about 80% French and 20% English to ensure student comprehension. This is part 3 of my level 1 French class (Découvrir le Français) and it is not a requirement, but it is recommended that students take parts 1 and 2 at some point as we will not cover the same material in this class. Once students have watched the video of the week, they will be expected to fill out a provided worksheet each week and upload a picture to the classroom, as well as post a video to answer a question each week in French. Students will receive individual feedback in the form of a short video each week as a response to their videos. Each week, students will also be provided with a Kahoot! game to play at home. They will also be able to participate in a weekly photo scavenger hunt at home (based on the online classroom). Some examples of the questions are: what is the weather at your house? Take a picture and show us! Do you have a family picture to share? Find something from each of the four seasons and take a picture. Etc. Week 1: Weather Question: Quel temps fait-il ? (How is the weather?) Worksheet (to be provided on Monday) Week 2: Family Question: Combien de personnes sont dans ta famille ? (How many people are in your family?) Worksheet (to be provided on Monday) Week 3: The four seasons Question: Quelle est ta saison préférée ? (What is your favourite season?) Worksheet (to be provided on Monday) Week 4: The body (face, arms, legs, etc.) In lieu of a question for this week, students will be asked to draw and label a self-portrait of themselves in addition to the worksheet. Worksheet (to be provided on Monday) Week 5: Hobbies and sports Question: Quel est ton sport préféré ? (What is your favourite sport?) Worksheet (to be provided on Monday) This is a beginner level French class. Students are not required to have any prior knowledge of French to attend this class. This material in this class is the same as my level 1 French class, just in FLEX format. Students will be provided with a handout to review after each class. Each handout covers the French and also provides the English translation.
