Year 8 FrenchMilestone Challenges

French Contract Bonjour étudiants et parents !

During the past semester we have been actively involved in learning all things French. Students have achieved a lot so far.

This semester, the focus of assessment and class work will be based around this booklet. The booklet is structured so that both students and parents have a clear picture of what is required to do well in French this semester.

Below is some information to help ensure students get the most out of their language studies. We ask that both parents and students sign the spaces provided below to indicate that they have read and understood what is expected this semester.

Throughout the French studies we try to put an equal, strong emphasis on the development of all four language skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking) in a way that meets the needs of all language learners and their learning styles. Activities are varied, so that students have the opportunity to work individually, in partners, in small groups, and as a whole class.

In order to do well in this unit of work a student will:• participate actively in class• spend at least 10 minutes 3 days per week practising French (the resources on the class website

and in this booklet can be used for this study)• work cooperatively with their peers in both partner and small group work• work cooperatively with others in the class while answering questions, both orally and in

written form• learn and practise the vocabulary covered in class• participate in songs, dances, and games with enthusiasm• complete class work and hand it in on time• seek help and feedback when needed

• take responsibility for their learning and have a proactive approach

I have read and understood the above information:
