There will be a Project at the end of the Cycle. Students can showcase their skills to the class by presenting a spoken Project (which can be a video/audio recording or presented live in class) and/or a written Project.Progress Report
I will provide spoken feedback in class each week. I will also provide brief written feedback each week to the student, including comments on any homework submitted. At the end of the Cycle, I will provide written Feedback, including a comment on the Project, if presented.Class Experience
This Cycle will focus on Speaking and Listening Skills, but will include a small Reading and Writing component. This Cycle will focus on improving basic conversations we have with native French speakers. By the end of the Cycle students will be able to talk about their home and their hometown. Students will also learn to talk about things that they did, using scaffolded sentences in the passé composé - simple sentences about what they did in the holidays etc.
Learning Goals
Students will be able to talk about what they have done during the school break. I will model simple sentences using the passé composé. Students will not be expected to understand the grammar of these sentences (unless they really want to!).Students will be able to describe their home and their hometown.
