Week 1
Monday, July 27: Students learned the class procedures.
Bienvenue ! Welcome! I am looking forward to teaching you French this year. Please remember that attending class is very important because this is where you will be learning, practicing, taking notes, and receiving homework instructions. I will normally not post homework instructions here, but I included this for the first day:
Learn the rules and procedures for French 2 so that you can be successful. Also, begin memorizing the Charger Way in French.
Fill out the back page of your syllabus with a parent/guardian by Friday, July 31st. This will be counted as a homework grade. Tear it out, fill it out, turn it in.
Bring a small photo to tape on the daily participation card. This will help me quickly memorize names and help me put names to faces this week. Bring your photo by BLOCK DAY as this will be counted as a homework grade.
As we will be interacting in French 99% of the time in class, it is important that you practice the pronunciation of the alphabet since you will be required (some may be extra credit opportunities) to provide the spelling for several words throughout the year. Here is a practice video. Similarly, I recommend that you practice the numbers from 1-100 with this practice video and pay attention to the pronunciation and the spelling for each number.
Tuesday, July 28: Students learned about the stressed syllable and how to place accent marks.
Write this down and practice a lot before class on Wednesday:
“Je m’appelle _________. Comment vous appelez-vous ?”
(My name is ______. What’s your name?)
Entrance ticket=ticket/billet d'entrée
Exit ticket=ticket/billet de sortie
Each day you will be required to tell me the entrance ticket before I hand you your discussion card and when you return it to me at the end of class (exit ticket). Remember to enter the classroom quietly. You cannot say it outloud as you are waiting your turn, and you may not read it to me (it must be memorized). If you say it correctly, I will give you your discussion card, but if you do not remember all of it or any of it, I will make a mark which means that you cannot give yourself 100% for the day. Most of it (and outstanding participation)=9/10, None of it (and outstanding participation)=8/10.
Learn the rules and procedures for French 2 so that you can be successful. Also, begin memorizing the Charger Way in French.
Fill out the back page of your syllabus with a parent/guardian by Friday, July 31st. This will be counted as a homework grade. Tear it out, fill it out, turn it in.
Bring a small photo to tape on the daily participation card. This will help me quickly memorize names and help me put names to faces this week. Bring your photo by BLOCK DAY as this will be counted as a homework grade.
Choose 30 words from the new vocab list and write the vocab word in English on one side and in French on the other side. You will also number your cards with numbers 1-30 (your numbers, not the numbers on the vocab list). Flashcards are due on Friday 7/31 in preparation for a vocab quiz next early week…it might be as early as Monday, so please be prepared. Remember, I do not accept torn pieces of paper. Use full notecards or neatly cut them in half or into 3 equal pieces.
