French Overview

Overview for the Year

The Big Ideas that we are focusing on this year are:

  1. Listening and viewing with intent helps us understand French.
  2. Using various strategies helps us understand and acquire language.
  3. With simple French, we can describe others and their interests.
  4. Reciprocal communication in French is possible using high-frequency vocabulary and sentence structures.
  5. Stories help us to acquire language and understand the world around us.
  6. Learning about Francophone communities helps us develop cultural awareness

As French Language Explorers, we are continuing to explore the French dialect.  This term students worked on Summer activities and vocabulary.  As well, conjugation of verb etre, avoir, faire and verbs ending in er and ing.  Students created a poster/invitation to a summer beach party/activity.
