French language learners who have had at least one year of French will find this flexible class useful for reviewing grammar in a flexible format.  Examples of students who might benefit are:  high school or middle school students preparing for final exams, students who are taking a semester or quarter off from language learning, students who are struggling in their current level 1/2/3 French language classes, students who want to advance more quickly from their level 1 class, students who are self-motivated and want to learn French grammar on their own.  The directions, explanations and questions will be in English in order to provide support to students who need help understanding French grammar.  Students will find these grammar topics engaging with videos, games and activities to practice individually.  They will have a chance to ask the teacher questions and the teacher will be able to check their progress through informal "game-like" assessments and give individual feedback.  Students will be asked to respond to the teacher and others by video or by writing in the classroom.   The topics will be as follows:

**Each Monday, students will receive a new lesson with activities.  They will have a week to work through all of the notes, exercises and questions.  This can all be done on their own time.  If they choose to spread the work out throughout the week or look at the activities only one day- whatever works best for a learner's schedule!
