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. Students are encouraged to repeat along with the teacher while watching the video to get the most out of class. Repetition for language acquisition is key and will play a large part in this course, both in the form of speaking and singing (don't worry, you don't need to be a professional. It's just for fun!).
