Bienvenue au cours de Français avec Madame Carter!

Location: Room 114 Grafton High School Email: kcarter@ycsd.york.va.us

Course Description:

French Levels 1-4 are designed to meet the requirements outlined in the Virginia Standards of Learning.

In this course, students will learn and practice the vocabulary and grammatical rules of French as a world language and build toward proficiency and the use of the language in real-world applications. Students will also learn about aspects of the culture and history to deepen their understanding of the perspectives of the French and people of francophone nations. The focus of the course will be to develop students’ abilities to communicate in 2-way conversation with someone else, to interpret spoken or written text, and to present learned information in either a written or oral format. French will be used on a regular basis, and students are expected to begin using French daily in class to the best of their ability. Students will also develop valuable insight to their own language and culture, thus providing them with a deeper understanding of how language works and how cultures reflect the perspectives, practices and products of the people who speak that language.We will expand our studies beyond the classroom and the textbook by including Internet resources, visuals, video clips, literature, etc.

Textbook: D’Accord by Vista Higher Learning. Cost for replacement: $89.00.

*Textbooks will not be issued; all French students will be using the D’Accord Supersite located at www.VHLcentral.com. Directions for accessing the supersite and creating an account will be provided for students if they do not yet have an account. If students created an account last year, they will continue to use the same account.

Grading Policy:

The student’s grade in class will be based on tests, quizzes, projects, classwork, and homework and participation. Students will be assessed in a variety of ways, including speaking, writing, listening, and reading activities. I grade on a percentage system within categories. Each category has a specific weight assigned to it as follows:

Student Work Policy: Homework is EXTREMELY important in the foreign language classroom. You must complete your homework in order to be prepared for the next class period. It is assigned for one of the following reasons: 1. To reinforce a lesson (practice). 2. To introduce a new concept (preparation). 3. To expand upon a lesson (extension). There are three types of homework in this class, weekly homework, monthly homework and permanent

homework. The due dates of these assignments is NOT flexible, and assignments turned in after the due date will receive a grade of 0%.

o the weekly assignments will be posted on the homework board for your class and on ASPEN.o the monthly assignments are the CONNECTIONS activities and the assignment will be posted and

submitted through ASPEN. While Madame Carter will remind you periodically of their approaching due date, it is otherwise your responsibility to turn the assignment in.

o Students should be studying vocabulary and/or reviewing grammar notes on a daily basis, this is your permanent homework assignment.

All classwork is due by the end of the period unless the student is granted an extension, but this is at the teacher’s discretion.

If you were absent, make sure you find out what work you missed in class and be diligent in making it up. It is the student’s responsibility to get caught up on work or notes missed. This also includes early dismissals.

Projects that are not turned in will begin to lose 10% of the possible score for every DAY the project is late. If a student has difficulty with an assignment, they must seek help before it is due. Extensions on assignment

due dates may be given, but only at the teacher’s discretion. Work that is messy, illegible, or written in anything other than blue or black ink or pencil will be returned to

the student to be rewritten. At the discretion of the teacher, some assignments may be reworked and resubmitted by the student for a higher

grade. It is the responsibility of the student to discuss the possibility of resubmission with the teacher.. Homework Passes: I do not give homework passes and homework passes given by other organizations (PTSA)

will not be honored in my class. Keep all work that is handed back to you, it may be useful for helping you study or in the event there is a

concern with a grade.Testing:Students will be complete a quiz once a week to check knowledge, these quizzes may assess vocabulary or grammar, or they may be listening, writing or speaking checks. “Pop” quizzes will not be announced and will be administered at the discretion of the teacher. Tests will be administered at each interim to assess several areas. At each quarter, students will have a speaking and writing assessment. And there will be two major exams, mid-term and final. All quizzes and tests can be “corrected” to earn back half points. Students must complete a test corrections form in order to be eligible to receive credit back.

Makeup Test Policy Students will be reminded of approaching quiz and test dates at least a week in advance in class and on ASPEN so they have time to plan ahead and notify the teacher of any conflicts. Make-up tests will only be administered in the event of an excused absence. The test must be made up outside of class time within one week of the student’s return to school at a time scheduled by the student and the teacher. If the student does not schedule a time to make-up a test within the 3 class meetings window or does not show up at a scheduled test make-up time without communicating with the teacher, the grade for that assessment will default to a zero (0%). It is the student’s responsibility to arrange make-ups with the teacher, the teacher will not track down the student to arrange make-up of quizzes and tests.

Projects: Students will be assigned a project at each quarter. These projects will allow students to use French in an interesting and interactive way. More information will be provided. If projects are not submitted by the due date, students will lose 10% of the possible grade for each DAY the project is late. Projects must be submitted within one week of the due date. After a week has passed, the project will not be accepted and the grade will default to a zero (0%)

Academic Dishonesty and Online TranslatorsI will not tolerate plagiarism of any kind. Accordingly, please do not attempt to use online translators to translate text. These are useful tools for use as dictionaries, but should NEVER be used to translate sentences. If I believe that you have excessively used online translators, I will ask you to re-do the assignment after school with a paper dictionary. Students will be held to the highest expectations of their integrity in accordance with the Grafton High School Honor Code. If a student is caught cheating or plagiarizing, they will receive a zero for the assignment and parents/guardians and administrators will be notified. This includes communicating with other students for any reason during a test. Cellular telephones must be put away during tests and quizzes.

Class ParticipationA large portion of class time will be spent using the language and students are expected to actively participate. Please try to speak the target language as much as possible and don’t be afraid to make mistakes. A specific grade will be given based on your speaking participation on a daily basis.

French Classroom Procedures:CLASS ROUTINES: Here is what our day will look like:

Please maintain your daily warm-ups in the «Echauffez-vous» section of your binder. For each day, please copy the date and the lesson objective. We will go over these activities daily for review and clarification of previous knowledge. Please correct your mistakes, ask questions, and help others.

Extra Help SessionsMadame Carter is available on Thursday afternoons from 2:10-3:00 to provide extra help with assignments or to make up quizzes and tests. No appointment is required during this time. Monday is not available for meeting because there are usually faculty meeting on this day. If you need to meet with her on any other day, you must schedule this time in advance. Most Thursdays, there will be a peer tutor available to help you.

Seating/GroupsA large part of learning a different language is learning to work with people that may be different from you. I expect you to respect all group members by working cooperatively. This being said, please make me aware of any inappropriate behavior or unresolved problems in your groups. Your seating assignment will change every quarter or at the discretion of Madame Carter

Movement in ClassThere are many of us in this class and space will be at a premium. Please do not leave your seat in class without asking permission (in French) first. Care should be taken not to disrupt class, so please choose an appropriate moment to ask. Never run in the classroom or in the hallway.

Leaving Class (Restroom, Nurse, Office, Other) I want students to be in my room as much as possible in order to learn as much as they can. Students should plan to visit the restroom before they come to class. If I feel that you are abusing your restroom privileges, I reserve the right to not allow you to leave the classroom. Some exceptions are given to students who have medical issues, but permission for this will come from the school nurse. You are not permitted to leave during the first and last 10 minutes of class. Please ask in French. If you visit another teacher or the nurse please bring a pass from that person upon your return to class otherwise, you will be marked as tardy. Any time you leave the room, you must sign out and in on the form next to the door and take the pass that correlates to the location that you are heading to.

Communicating with your teacherIf you have a question or want to discuss something that is not related to the lesson for that day, talk to me during a quiet moment in class, drop a post-it or note on my desk or email me. I will respond to you within 24 hours. kcarter@ycsd.york.va.us

Food or Drink in ClassWater in a closed container is the only drink allowed in class. Food is not allowed and you will be asked to throw it away. Students are not permitted to chew gum.

Cell PhonesCell phones and any other electronic devices must be turned OFF and put away unless specific permission is given by the teacher. Students should not plug in phones using the school outlets. Phones out without permission will be confiscated. Follow the “Cell Phone Zone guidelines.”

End of Class ProceduresWhen prompted, please turn in all required work to the “Turn in work here” folder. Stay in your seat until Madame Carter dismisses you.

If I finish my classwork early—Do not work on assignments for other classes!-Read a novel or magazine from the bookshelf.-Clean up your area/Organize your notebook (quietly)-Help a classmate-Review previous lessons

Special Procedures: *Computer Usage: Please see the QLM student handbook on Acceptable computer and internet usage. Abuse of your computer privileges both at school and on school websites may result in academic referral and loss of use.*Special Guests: If we ever have special guests in our classroom, we are to treat them with dignity and respect. Remember the golden rule and treat everyone as you wish to be treated. You represent our classroom and our school.*Fire Drills: Please exit SILENTLY (no noise) to the nearest exit and stay with the class. Continue to stay in a single-file line until you return to the classroom. It is important that we stay together and quiet in order to maintain safety in an emergency situation.*Substitutes: As with special guests, it matters to me how others feel in our classroom. All rules apply when a special guest or substitute is in our classroom. I expect each of you to be courteous, kind, and helpful.

Possible consequences of inappropriate behaviors:Students are expected to comply with all school rules as outlined in the Student Handbook. If a student has difficulty displaying appropriate classroom behavior, I will:

Give a verbal/non-verbal reminder to student Conference individually with the student Notify parents/legal guardians by phone/email Request conference with parents, counselor and/or administrator Refer student to administration. If you are using your cell phone inappropriately, it will be confiscated and turned into the front office for

your parents/guardians to pick up.

Consequences for appropriate behaviors:

Appropriate behavior allows for successful completion of instruction and will lead to success in student learning and a feeling of achievement. Completing required work will allow the class, over time, to explore supplemental activities. Parents may also be informed of student achievement and exemplary behavior.

I encourage students and parents to contact me regarding academic questions and concerns, additional help, to arrange test make-ups and/or to schedule conferences

Help! My teacher is speaking another language!

The National Standards for Foreign Language Learning in the 21st Century place strong emphasis on a minimum of 90% target language at all levels of learning.

Don’t despair! Follow these guidelines:

Listen for what you can understand instead of focusing on what you can’t understand. See how much you can pick out from what your teacher is saying.

Be patient. Your teacher repeats things, rewords them, uses gestures, and speaks more slowly to help you understand.

Look at what others are doing and make a connection between what you hear and what you see.

Don’t get discouraged that you don’t understand as quickly as your classmates. We all have our strengths in learning. Some interpret meaning faster, but it doesn’t mean you are less capable.

Don’t look to others for translation. Depending on others prevents us from becoming independent learners ourselves.

Wait for your teacher to approach you and give you the opportunity to clarify instructions as needed.

Listen to French as much as you can outside of class to sharpen your skills. Ask you teacher for some listening resources.

Congratulate yourself when you realize that you understand more than you did a week, a month, a year ago. You will have many of these moment in a 90% or more classroom!

Our GOAL is target-language interaction.

This means YOU try to use the new language too, as much as possible.

Remember, you are learning a language, not a bunch of rules and lists.

French at Grafton High School with Madame Carter

How to be successful:You can’t learn a foreign language by thinking about it.

1. Learning a foreign language means developing good habits. Listen to your teacher and imitate her speaking patterns. Study daily, not just before a quiz or test.

2. Make the fullest use of your time in class. Pay attention in class. Mentally respond to each comment or question even if you are not the one being

called on to respond. Take every opportunity to speak in French, this will help you when it comes time for

speaking assessments. Refrain from “social chatter” and speaking in English. Also write your work carefully, making sure to follow all the grammatical rules that

you have learned. This will help you when it comes time for writing assessments.3. Adequately prepare your homework.

Do it at home. You will be better able to commit your new knowledge to memory if you leave some time between class and your homework practice of what you learned.

Look up and relearn unfamiliar words already introduced in class. Break your study time down into small manageable units. i.e. 15 minutes per day. Do your homework when assigned. Homework is meant to reinforce what you

learned in class, late work defeats this purpose. Make corrections and ask questions when homework is reviewed. After you finish an assignment, go to the last word on the page. Working

backwards, look at each word and ask yourself if you know it. Work all the way through the assignment until you reach the very first word on the page. This will help you learn vocabulary in isolation.

4. Keep your notebook organized and bring it with you to class. Keep all your vocabulary sheets and charts organized in your notebook. Don’t lose them.

5. Study your vocabulary every night. Make sentences orally with the words. Make and use study aids (flash cards, drawings, Quizlet, etc.) Write out words several times, checking for correct spelling and accent marks. Do not fall behind Build on what you already know.

6. If you feel lost or confused in class, ask questions. If you need additional help, come before or after school for extra help.

7. Success depends on being consistent with practice and study. 8. You have to memorize. The only way to learn habits is to practice, practice,

practice!

Research indicates that effective language instruction must provide significant levels of meaningful communication and interactive feedback in the target language in order for students to

develop language and cultural proficiency. ACTFL therefore recommends that language educators and their students use the target language as exclusively as possible (90% plus) at all

levels of instruction during instructional time and, when feasible, beyond the classroom.

Taken from the Position Statement on ACTFL.org

Comprehensible input = the things your teacher does to help you understand the language without translating for you.

Rangement de votre classeur

A key to success in any subject, including foreign language, is good organization. In this class, the organization of your classeur will be evaluated. At the end of the year, you will receive an overall participation grade based on your having met the outlined requirements.

Your binder must be organized into the following 6 sections. Each item must be sorted into one of these sections. If you aren’t sure where an item should go, ask Madame Carter.

1. Class Information: this paper, the syllabus, the list of connections activities, the list of vocabulary spelling practice activities, the Je Peux checklists and any items relevant to classroom procedures.

2. The Echauffez-vous: Each day you will be ask to complete a “warm-up activity.” You will be expected to start on this as soon as they bell rings. The time to work on this will take between 5-10 minutes each day. You should include more than one Echauffez-vous per piece of paper. You must write out your dates in French. (See the board if you aren’t sure how to do this.

3. Notes: You are responsible for including all class notes in chronological order. If you are absent, ask a classmate if you can copy their notes. The date should also be written—in French—on each note page.

4. Vocabulary: You will receive a feuille de vocabulaire for each chapter we study. You will also be assigned a vocabulary project. Both of those items should be kept in this section.

5. Homework and Classwork Assignments: Include any worksheets, or practice activities in this section. They should be clearly labeled with the chapter, page number, etc. and the date, en français.

6. Quizzes, Essays, Projects: I will be keeping your major tests and writing assessments on file. You can request to see them and get feedback whenever you need to. But when they are given back to you, you will keep quizzes and written assignments. Remember, corrections can be made to tests, quizzes and written assessments to earn higher grades when prearranged with Madame Carter.

Quarter 1 Quarter 2 Quarter 3 Quarter 4Binder divided into 6 sections that are clearly labeled.

Effort has been made to keep all class materials organized into those 6 sections.

Dates are written en français on all warm-ups, notes and classwork items.

Student appears to be consistently completing activities such as the warm-up, notes, and vocabulary lists.
