CLASS LAYOUT

Each class, we will start by introducing ourselves in French. We will learn a vocabulary set by learning the French translations of English words. Students will be asked to practice saying the words and phrases. 

We will also learn a related grammar point, and students will complete a group activity in order to practice.

Then, students will be given a conversation topic (with a worksheet to guide their conversation) to work through in breakout rooms.* With their classmate(s), they will have a simple conversation mostly in French, while writing down any words they don’t know or forgot. Back in the main room, we will look at the vocabulary gaps and work on filling them. 

We will also complete an activity in order to apply what we learn. The activities may include drawing, writing, reading, etc. During some activities that include a visual component, I will speak in French as much as possible. 

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