Overview
Bonjour!
Intro to French is designed to be an introduction to the French culture and language, including elements of reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Students will explore culture through virtual field trips, readings, and videos. Special days of food tasting and appreciation of various holidays will enhance the students' knowledge about life in France and/or other francophone countries.
Language skills, such as present tense verb conjugations, adjective agreement, and genders of nouns, will prepare students for expansion of these skills in French 1. Students will learn basic conversation skills while building vocabulary on subjects such as time, weather, days of the week, months of the year, classroom items, family members, food, clothing, and animals. Games, with the possibility of earning mini-prizes, will be implemented as one of the ways of making learning another fun. A variety of formal and informal assessments, including projects, will provide a more comprehensive measurement of student achievement than examinations alone.
