Learner Profile

Having reached this level of proficiency, you are at a place where you feel confident to communicate about normal, everyday matters. You can describe people and places and provide personal information about yourself and others, family, home, daily activities, interests and personal preferences. You can get into, through and out of normal daily situations that involve obtaining food, lodging, transportation and also taking care of health issues. You can ask a variety of questions to obtain simple information.

What can you say and write?You can pretty much read simple passages with full understanding as long as the topic is something you know or are interested in. Your understanding gets a bit shaky, however, when you read material that is written in more complex language and/or is a topic about which you are less familiar. Several rereadings seem to increase your understanding of these passages. When you speak or write, you generally use more than one sentence. You often link two short sentences together using a connector (for example, and, but, or) and you even produce strings of sentences to Communicate your thoughts. You are getting much better about using proper word order as you communicate basic ideas but find it more Difficult as you try to express more complex thoughts. Much of what you say or write takes place in present tense – and you are mostly accurate in this time frame – but you do occasionally use past or future tense, Although you make more errors in these two time frames. Sometimes you can't exactly think of the right word to use but you are now able to "talk Around" the word and find another way of getting your point across.

To learn a new language, it is important to use what you are taught! Late homework and assignments: Late homework and assignments will be accepted according to the guidelines in your student handbook.

I will accept late work to one week prior the end of the quarter!!!!

Absences:

You may turn in make-up work for any excused absence. It is the student’s responsibility to obtain all make-up work and the due date immediately upon returning to school.

(Please use my French Canvas Page to get the entire missing document)

Failure to obtain work is not an excuse for not completing work missed. If a student is absent for 3 or more consecutive days, a parent may request the Counseling Center to ask teachers for homework assignments and/or receive their assignments online.

. Remember, you have the responsibility to make the most of your opportunities and you hold the power to your success.

Participation grades:

Each day you will have the opportunity to obtain participation points for being actively involved in class. You must try to use as much French as possible every day in class. Also, failure to follow any of the class rules will result in the loss of participation points. We will be using a stamp page to keep up with points.
