Fr10H – Un1a test postponed

Posted on January 29, 2024 by romaina

A number of students came and asked for the test to be postponed and since the other class this week was set aside to work on the concours, that was an easy switch. Therefore, our new schedule for this week is:

  • mardi le 30 jan – on travaille les discours (concours d’art oratoire)
  • jeudi le 1er fév – Un1a test

This also means we are delaying having cake. I had it planned that we would have it on Thursday while we worked on speeches. However, since the test will now be Thursday, we will need to delay. We also can’t have cake the same day as the speeches, so the cake won’t happen until the week of Feb 12th at the earliest.

 

Please spread the word!

Translators – Important (Fr10H & Fr11H)

Posted on January 24, 2024 by romaina

Bonjour à tous,

As I have been proof-reading speeches, I have come across a number of speeches where the individual used a translator. It seems as though many thought that as long as if it wasn’t Google Translate, then it was ok. That is not the case.

The main point of this speech is for you to practice your French skills and show me what you can do. By using a translator, you are not showing your French skills whatsoever, and are instead showing me what you can write in English and then what an online tool can do. In fact, if you submit work that is not yours, that is plagiarism…you are, in essence cheating, and lying to me.

I’m not here to teach/support/assess online tools, I’m here to teach/support/assess YOU!

So…if you used a translator (of any sort) for any part of your speech, you MUST rewrite those sections in your own words. If you present a speech that you did not write yourself, it will be considered academic dishonesty and we will have to proceed from there.

I highly recommend using online dictionaries (where you look up individual words, not phrases) as you write your speech. Then I strongly encourage you to use www.bonpatron.com to proof-read your speech. It will help you find grammatical and vocabulary errors!
