2015 AP French

2015-2016 IB/AP/CE French 4/5 CONTACT INFORMATION E-mail: mloveless@dsdmail.net Office hours: 2nd and 6th period, after school from 2:20 to 2:45 COURSE DESCRIPTION The advanced French classes at Bountiful High engage students in using the language in activities that are embedded in real life contexts and make frequent use of authentic materials produced by and for native French speakers. Activities encompass all three communicative modes (interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational) and provide practice in the skill areas of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. During this course you will learn to make suggestions, ask and answer increasingly complex questions about a variety of topics, relate orally and in writing a series of past, current, future, and hypothetical events, and express opinions and advice. You will read longer literary passages and write letters, journals, and extended responses to reading. You will also be posting onto our class blog. You will apply information gathered from authentic French sources for information, entertainment, and personal enrichment, and analyze and explain cultural and linguistic perspectives unique to francophone culture. Concurrent Enrollment with Weber State University is offered to juniors and seniors in these classes. Students must enroll in September, pay the registration fee, and pass the oral interview and the written assessment in the spring. IB students work towards success on all IB assessments. The AP French test is also offered in the spring to those students who wish to take it. The six themes of AP French form the basis of our class. PARTICIPATION GUIDELINES You are now in an advanced French class, so you will be expected to speak French for most of the class period. Don’t worry about what you do not know how to say. You have already learned a lot of French, so focus on what you DO know. We are all going to make mistakes, but if we commit to an all-French classroom, we are going to grow by leaps and bounds. TALK, TALK, TALK!!!! Just be sure it’s in French. Participate fully in all classroom activities. This includes bringing all materials and homework to class, as well as being an active member of the class. Participation will be a combination of self-assessment and teacher assessment through classroom discussions. REQUIRED MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES The textbook will be used mostly as a reference and practice tool during class. Resource materials are drawn from a wide variety of authentic sources, and you will receive many handouts. My blog also lists sources for you to obtain authentic French podcasts and other resources. Please bring a spiral notebook that will be dedicated to French, a small, chunky notebook for vocabulary, and writing utensils. GRADING SCALE Progress toward proficiency will be assessed frequently and by a variety of means: graded assignments and projects, quizzes (oral and written), tests (oral and written), informal class activities and presentations, performance based tasks, and use of portfolios and journals for reflection and self-assessment. Scoring guides describing grading criteria for projects and activities will be available. Our real goal is to learn to speak and understand French. 93-100 A 83-84 B 73-74 C 63-64 D 90-92 A- 80-82 B- 70-72 C- 60-62 D- 85-89 B+ 75-79 C+ 65-69 D+ 59-0 F CITIZENSHIP Everyone appreciates a student who is on time, dressed appropriately, prepared, eager to participate in class, positive, and friendly. These students will receive an H in citizenship. Students with one or two tardies may receive a G. Students with 2 tardies and/or one unexcused absence may receive an S or N. Students with 3 or more tardies and/or 2 unexcused absences will receive a U. Our advanced class is small. If you are tardy, it affects others. ABSENCE POLICY When a student is absent, ninety minutes of speaking, listening, reading, and writing have been missed. Regular class attendance is extremely important. To be eligible for CE credit, students must maintain at least a 90% attendance rate. However, if you are absent... It is YOUR responsibility to meet with me to discuss any homework assignments or material you missed. The minute or two before class starts is not usually the best time. Come before school, after school, or during SIR. If there is a minute or two at the end of class, that is often a good time as well. If you know ahead of time that you will be absent due to a field trip, vacation, appointment, please let me know, so I can give you any materials you need to stay on track with the class. Make-up work, including tests and quizzes, is to be completed outside of class time and must be done in a timely fashion: WEEK at a GLANCE: Monday: ½ page summary in French of the film you watched Tuesday: Carnet check (vocabulary) Wednesday: Blog, 200 words on current AP theme, including two responses to classmates Thursday: Podcast, ½ page summary/vocabulary Friday: Presentation (Be able to talk for three minutes about current AP theme.) OTHER POLICIES Cell phones MUST remain inside purses, pockets, or lockers. If they are out in class for any reason, the BHS cell phone policy will be followed. Credit will not be given for work that is not your own. This includes using online translators. I have thoroughly read the information contained in this disclosure statement and understand what is expected of me/my child by Mme Loveless.

Disclosure 2015 Honors English

French 2/3 Disclosure

FRENCH BOUNTIFUL HIGH SCHOOL 2015-2016 Mme LOVELESS ROOM 505 Prep Periods: 2nd and 6th mloveless@dsdmail.net goodyloveless.blogspot.com COURSE DISCLOSURE COURSE DESCRIPTION: FRENCH SHOULD BE FUN!!! French classes are structured to help students acquire practical communication skills in reading, writing, speaking, and listening, with a focus on speaking proficiency. We will focus on “the 5 C’s,” communication, culture, comparing our culture with that of many francophone cultures, community, and making connections. COURSE OBJECTIVES: French II/III: Students will build on the French they learned last year. They will practice and become more comfortable speaking with partners, small groups, and occasionally in front of the whole class. Language structures for narrating in the present, past, and future will be studied. Units will be based on Davis District’s DESK units. French IV, V, IB, AP: Students will build on the French they learned in previous years. There will be more writing, speaking, listening, and reading in and outside of class, as we prepare for the many year-end tests. Students will be able to use a variety of tenses, more idiomatic expressions, and vocabulary based on thematic units from the AP and Davis District DESK standards. CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT: Students in the second, third or fourth year of foreign language studies will be given the opportunity to take the Bountiful High class concurrently as a Weber State University course and receive college credit. This is a wonderful opportunity, as the cost of $30 covers all the registration fees. Students wishing to sign up for this program will have to decide by the first week in September. In the spring they will be assessed in their writing and their speaking abilities and will be given a grade based on their performance. They also must meet the minimum attendance rate of 90% in order to receive credit. This credit can be transferred to any Utah university and many others as well. Students may earn 3 college credits. MATERIALS: Pencil, paper, a dedicated spiral notebook, and a small chunky notebook. GRADING POLICY: A student’s grade for each term will be determined by his/her performance in completing assignments, taking quizzes and tests in reading, writing, listening, speaking, and participating fully in the classroom process through attendance, attitude, and effort. Scores from each category will be averaged together and a letter grade will be assigned according to the following grading scale: A 93% A- 90% B+ 85% B 83% B- 80% C+ 75% C 73% C- 70% D+ 65% D 63% D- 60% F 59 % and below Late Work: Work is due on the assigned due date, even if the student was absent when it was assigned or absent when it was due. Late work may be accepted for half credit if it is submitted within seven calendar days of the original due date. When I am absent, I have to get a substitute. When you are absent, you will need to get a substitute to take your classroom notes and to turn in your assignments. Pick someone on whom you can rely. Cell phones and other electronic devices should not be seen or heard in the classroom. They will be confiscated if this rule is ignored. HALL PASSES: Each student will receive one hall pass per term. If it is returned at the end of the term, the student will receive 20 extra credit points to be added to his/her academic grade. CITIZENSHIP: To me, citizenship is more than merely an absence of obvious bad behavior. A good citizen is punctual, friendly, and helpful. A good citizen will stay in French when asked to. A good citizen listens well and participates in class discussions. Davis School District policies will apply. 1. Respect the teacher and other students. 2. Be prepared for class. 3. Use appropriate language while speaking and writing. 4. Absences: 3 or more unexcused absences result in an automatic U. 5. Citizenship grades can be a combination of inappropriate behavior and tardies. 6. Tardies will have a negative effect on academic grades as well as citizenship. One to two tardies could be an H or an S. Three could be an N, but four or more is an automatic U. ATTENDANCE POLICY: I believe that regular attendance is the best indicator for success in this class. When you miss a day of French you miss a day of listening and speaking that can’t really be duplicated. Come to class. Even if you don’t feel like it, come to class. If you are genuinely sick, don’t come to class, otherwise, come to class. CONTACT ME: I feel that it is very important to communicate with parents and students. I am very conscientious about responding to emails and would prefer this method of communication. Logistically, it is very difficult for me to come to the phone, and when I can, I don’t have the necessary information in front of me on the computer. Please email me with any concerns, and I will respond in a timely manner. mloveless@dsdmail.net I have read, understood, and will support the policies explained in Mrs. Loveless’ disclosure statement.
