French 3

Bienvenue à la classe de français !

Welcome to French 3!

We will be continuing our study of the French language and French culture this year. We will examine literature, film, music, art, and history. Besides your textbook, you will be watching films, reading works of literature, seeing some of the famous works of art, and listening to different forms of music and various renowned French performers. Besides the regular work in your textbook and workbook, you will be reading French magazines and newspapers, writing papers, making oral presentations, and we will converse in French in class as much as possible. Only by using a language, can you become comfortable with it.

Materials required each day in class:

Textbook and workbook: Discovering French Blanc

Various literary works will be provided for you

Ring binder with dividers, paper, and folder (you will receive many handouts, and need a secure place to keep them)

French/English dictionary

French Club: You are strongly encouraged to join the French Club and participate in all the meetings and activities. It is a fun way to learn more about the French world. It is also one of the requirements for membership in the French Honor Society.

I hope that our plans for the year will contribute to your enjoyment of all aspects of the French language and the French people.
