Assessments:

  • Speaking, Writing, Listening, & Reading:  At the end of each unit of study, students will be assessed in the areas of speaking, writing, listening, and reading.
    • Students are not tested in the areas of speaking or writing during the first quarter.
    • Students may not retake these assessments for a better grade.  Absent students will be given the opportunity to take missed assessments.
  • Vocabulary Quizzes: Students are given 15 flashcard vocabulary words to learn every other week.  Vocabulary flashcards are handed out on the first day of the week and tested on the last day of the week.
    • Students may sign-up to retake vocabulary quizzes for a better grade.
    • If a student does not get a better grade on their quiz, then the best of the two scores will stay in the gradebook.  (You will not lose points if you do worse when you retake the vocabulary quiz.)
      • Vocabulary Quiz retake dates will be:
        • 1st Semester: 9/2/15, 9/30/15, 10/14/15, 10/13/15, 12/9/15
        • 2nd Semester: 1/27/16, 2/24/16, 3/23/16, 4/13/16, 5/18/16
        • Students may also retake quizzes at After School Tutoring

Academic Dishonesty Policy:

  • If a student is found cheating on an assignment or assessment, then he or she will be marked as cheating in the grade book. The grade book calculates cheating as a 0%. Please don’t cheat.  It’s not worth it!

 

Classroom Standards / Discipline Policy:

  • We are all here to learn French and have fun while learning French.  Actions that disrupt the educational process are not acceptable.
  • Arguing is not allowed in class. Concerns and/or appeals must be discussed with teacher privately before/after class or submitted to teacher in writing after class.
    • Please do not argue with the teacher during class. If a student feels that he or she was wrongly identified as misbehaving, he or she should submit an explanation in writing and/or prepare to discuss the matter calmly with the teacher after class. This policy is for the good of the group.
