This class is designed for beginning French students with little to no prior knowledge. Students will start from the beginning to practice their French vocabulary and grammar and using those skills in conversation.



DESCRIPTION AND LESSON PLANS

Each week, we will learn vocabulary with the French translations of English words. We will also learn the relevant grammatical structures needed to use the vocabulary in sentences. Students are expected to take notes and ask questions to help them fully digest the material. Mixed in with the teaching, students will have opportunities to complete activities and games to solidify their knowledge, which may be in the main classroom or in breakout rooms*. 

*all break-out rooms will be closely monitored by me switching between rooms to keep students on-topic and help when needed
