Bienvenue à la classe de français !               2009-2010

Welcome to French 2!  I am happy that you are continuing your studies of the 
beautiful French language.  This year, we will continue our study of French 
grammar, literature, culture, history, music and film.  We will also be 
discussing the current events in France and other French-speaking 
countries.  As we converse and write in French on a daily basis, you will be 
practicing and developing stronger oral and written communication skills.

Materials required in class:     
Textbook and workbook:  Discovering French Bleu
Ring binder with dividers and paper
Folder, pens, pencils
French/English dictionary

Basic expectations:   
1.  Attendance, class participation, and completion of all assignments are 
essential to a successful academic year.  
2.  If you are absent, you are responsible for the prompt completion of all 
missed work; this includes classwork, homework, tests, quizzes, and projects.
3.  Class participation is very important.  We are learning a language and 
that requires communication and repetition.  Everyone makes mistakes, so 
don’t be afraid to speak up!   
4.  Respect and courtesy towards classmates and teachers is expected at all 
times.

Grading:  You will be graded on all your quizzes, tests, projects, homework, 
writing assignments, and oral presentations, as well as class participation, 
attitude and behavior.  (Refer to MSDA grading policy in student handbook).  
All written assignments must be handed in at the beginning of the class on 
the day the assignment is due, or it will be considered one day late.
Homework that is not collected is checked at the beginning of each class in 
order to receive credit.  Since we go over this homework in class, it may 
not be handed in late

Teacher Web:  All assignments, as well as my schedule and any other 
important information, are posted daily on the Teacher Web.  Be sure to 
check regularly, especially when absent.

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.

Remedial:  If you experience any problems or difficulties, I will be happy 
to help you.  We can meet before or after school, or during the day at a 
mutually convenient time.

I look forward to an enjoyable and rewarding year of French with you.
