Syllabus cont.Class Overview:Bienvenue to Level 1 French! This year we will explore different cultures, vocabulary, grammar, literature, and media in the francophone world. Some topics include school, family, food, sports, and travel. We will learn verbs in the present tense and past tense, as well as many other French language structures. Students will be expected to complete homework on an almost nightly basis, as well as participate in discussion, give oral presentations, and create meaningful projects. We will also explore music, film, and other interesting cultural aspects of French culture from all over the world. Students will be evaluated by the “5 C’s” standards of foreign language learning, which will build students’ speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills.

The “5 C’s”• Communication – communicate in languages

other than English• Cultures – gain knowledge and understanding

of other cultures• Connections – connect with other disciplines

and acquire information• Comparisons – develop insight into the nature

of language and culture• Communities – participate in multilingual

communities at home and around the world

• French language 'unplugged' reggae acoustic band from Brittany, popular in Europe and in Quebec, with three French guitarists, a percussionist, and a producer: Guizmo, Christophe Mali, Manu Eveno, Daniel "Danielito" Bravo and Bibou.

• Tryo are popular in France partly due to their politically charged lyrics, whilst also showing a fun side with a range of humorous songs, especially in live performances.

• They take a left wing stance, criticizing various French politicians such as Charles Pascqua (named in corruption scandals concerning suburban low cost housing or HLM) and Jean-Marie La Pen and world leaders (George W. Bush, for example) in their music.
