There is only one objective in this class: to learn how to communicate in French. To be able to read, write, speak and understand well enough to communicate with a Francophone person.
Any other activity in this classroom is inappropriate!

Il y a juste un objectif dans cette classe: apprendre à communiquer en français. Être capable de lire, écrire, parler et comprendre assez bien pour communiquer avec une personne francophone.
Toute autre activité dans cette classe est inappropriée!

Be responsible: be an active participant: listen, take notes, ask questions, engage in your own learning. :)
Soyez responsables: soyez un participant actif: écoutez, prenez des notes, posez des questions, engagez-vous dans votre apprentissage :)

Be respectful: treat others how you would like to be treated, celebrate diversity and differences. Leave the classroom no worse for your having been here!

Soyez respectueux: traitez les autres comme vous voulez être traité, célébrez la diversité et les différences. Laissez la salle de classe dans le même état que vous l’avez trouvé: ou mieux!

Class Supplies for French 1:
This class will use classroom notes, handouts, and internet activities extensively.  All students should have a system for taking and organizing these notes and handouts!

Need help? Practice? Want to be the very best? !!!:  Some of the nicest and best students in the school are members of the elite National French Honor Society. They are sworn to help all students achieve their best in French.  They will be available to help before and after school!

Grading Policy

25 % formative--may include homework, quizzes, warm-ups, class work, lab work, daily quizzes, class participation, lab activities. Students are responsible for a daily and homework stamp grid which will reflect many of the formative grades given in class. A tally will be made each 3 weeks and be reflected in progress reports.  It is the student’s responsibility to keep track of the performance sheet!

75% summative--may include tests (written and oral) major projects or papers

  • SSR: It is an expectation that all Smith students have appropriate reading material with them every day to engage in meaningful reading. This is a campus wide policy! The first instructional day of the week will be the “official” reading day for this class, but students should always have something to read with them every day! When the teacher is absent this should always be available!


    • Notez: We have a sister school in Alençon, Normandy, France with whom we have communicated through video conferences each year since 2002. We also sponsor guest speakers from Africa and other French speaking areas. J Join the French club this year to experience French culture and music we don’t have time to enjoy in class!!
