If your current French student would like to increase their French vocabulary, listening, reading, and writing skills, this is a great class for your learner. Students will learn the structures, forms, voices, repetitions, and what the French 'e muet' is. Students will also learn about 9 French poets, their history, impact on the world of poetry, and we will read works from each poet. As the class progresses, students will work on their own poetry anthology in French. The final class, students will present their poems to the class. This class is best suited for intermediate-advanced students. This is not a class for beginning French students. Students will read, speak, listen, and write in French. Although this is not a full immersion class, students and the teacher will be speaking in French for the majority of the classes. Below is the list of class topics for our 15 classes: Class 1: French poetry form and structure (1) Class 2: French poetry form and structure (2) Class 3: The 'e muet' Class 4: Victor Hugo Class 5: Charles Baudelaire Class 6: Antoinette du Ligier de la Garde Deshoulières Class 7: Moliere Class 8: Jacques Prévert Class 9: Léopolde Sédar Senghor Class 10: Jean de la Fontaine Class 11: Rimbaud Class 12: Rene Philombe Class 13: Paul Éluard Class 14: Class 15: Student Poetry Presentations

Bonjour! I am Madame Heather and I am a licensed French teacher for ages preK-12. I have 15 years teaching experience in the classroom and over 5 years teaching experience online. I have a BA in French, an MA in Sociolinguitics, and I have lived in the south of France where I taught ESL. I am an engaging teacher who focuses first on making the student feel comfortable learning a new language in a natural way. I believe learning a language should be fun and I also like to use manipulatives to keep students moving during class. I look forward to helping your student expand their interest in francophone culture and language.
