French 2   

     

1 credit year, Grades 9-12

 

How does my daily life compare to that of a French-speaking teenager? How does the way we spend time reflect the values of a community? How do cultures celebrate meaningful life events? What does it mean to use technology responsibly around the world? How do we see the world? How does the world see us? What can we learn from each other? What does fashion say about a culture?

 

Students review and expand skills acquired in French 1. The study of real-life communication skills, culture, and civilization are entwined. Through extensive use of French in class, students will develop skills in speaking and understanding spoken French. Reading and writing skills develop as students work with authentic documents which may include dialogues, brochures, newspaper ads, songs, narratives, interviews, signs, letters and cartoons. Prerequisite for this course is credit in French 1.
