In this class that meets weekly, students will come to class, read a themed short story (written by me) and write 5-7 sentences in French. This is an early advanced French class and will be conducted primarily in French.  I will translate the story into English for the students as we are reading to help with understanding. 

I recommend this class for students who have taken French Immersion for multiple years who want to improve reading and writing skills. 

In this class, we will have a few minutes for introductions, and then move into learning. In this class students will have the opportunity to interact with each other and the teacher. Students will have the opportunity to read out loud if they choose, but it is not required. There will be a PowerPoint in class, and all students will receive the sentences to practice after class. 

The dictée portion of this class will happen during the last 10 minutes of each class. Students are asked to bring paper and a pen or pencil to class to write down their dictée sentences.  They will have the chance to check their work after the dictée and to ask any questions. It's okay to make mistakes! This is a safe learning environment. Mistakes are just stepping stones to success! 

A dictée is a perfect learning opportunity to learn how to write in French. Additionally, students that participate in dictées have an easier time reading. As this is a language class, students are strongly encouraged to come to class with a working microphone so they can interact with the teacher. 

This is an advanced dictée. Students must have multiple years of French experience in both reading and speaking to join this class. If you're unsure if this is the right fit for you, I recommend first trying dictée part 1 (we cover 5-7 words a week). Please feel free to message me to check if your student will be a good fit for this class. This class will be conducted in French.
