Reminders:
The use of any translation or AI generation programs/software in our course is strictly prohibited. As stated in the syllabus, graded assignments that reflect the use of these prohibited programs will result in a ZERO score for the assignment. This includes Gemini, Google's search engine AI assistant. Appropriate technology tools that are allowed will be addressed in class. Please do not encourage your students to "just Google Translate" their assignments.

Madame Pratt graduated Summa Cum Laude from Georgia College and State University with a BA in French and Liberal Studies before moving to Lille, France to teach English. Most of her time abroad has been spent in the north of France and in Belgium, but she travels internationally as often as possible!
From 2017-2021, she taught French 1, 2, 3, and AP in Warner Robins, GA but has been a Wolverine since moving to McDonough in 2023 with her husband, their Irish Setter named Pippin, and their many, many houseplants. She spends her free time watching Critical Role, crocheting, reading Lord of the Rings, and generally being a huge nerd.
