1 live meeting
40 mins in-class hours per weekHomework
1-2 hours per week. Parents are asked to sign their students up for Quizlet under my teacher account, so that all the words covered in class can be reviewed in a fun way online. I will provide that link once students are enrolled.Class Experience
Learning a new language takes practice, and lots of it. This drawing class provides students with a fun opportunity to learn new French words each week. All students can do a further review to study the lesson for each week by using the free app "Quizlet." This is a class that beginners can take or even those children with some exposure to the French language, because new words are added to the Quizlet flash cards each week. The more review children have with the vocabulary, the less likely they will be confused later about whether a noun is "masculine" or "feminine." Please note: this is not a French Immersion class, so students need no prior learning to take this class (but if they are taking other French classes that is great too!) Please also note that we do not study French Art in this class, but rather use the activity of drawing to learn French vocabulary.
Learning Goals
A minimum of 8 new French nouns is to be learned each week. They say to be fluent on a very basic level with most languages requires a working vocabulary of at least 500 words. This is an ongoing class, so that is our eventual goal!

Supply List
It is really useful if the students have dry erase boards, with markers that are a little finer in the tip. I find it very easy, as a teacher, to see the student's drawings that way.

Teacher expertise and credentials
1 teacher has a teaching certificate
Non-US Teaching Certificate in English/Language Arts
I am offering this class because I grew up in a French bilingual home and many top Universities today expect students to learn another language, so I know it is important. I teach English as a second language, and many English students have told me that they learned their English by immersing themselves in the language through the arts: things that they enjoyed like watching movies, and through music. Drawing, of course, is an extension of that!
