*This course is designed for students who have previously learned some French. Each week, we will read a passage (2-3 paragraphs) in French, discuss it, and answer questions based on what we read. We will also write in French, and students will be asked to keep a journal in French. 

**TIMES FOR CLASSES MAY CHANGE DUE TO DAYLIGHT SAVINGS. PLEASE LOOK AT ALL THE CLASS MEETING TIMES TO ENSURE THEY WORK WITH YOUR SCHEDULE!

Each week, students will be asked to keep a journal/diary. Depending on student level, the requirements will vary in sentence length, using different verb tenses, and the topics they write about.
