My name:
FREN 1010, UNIT 4. Communicative Goals / “Can-Do” Checklist O’Neill (Sections 004-005).
• Please use this as a sort of checklist so you can keep track of your own progress for this unit.
• You should be able to understand (listening & reading) and use (speaking & writing) the items on the list.
Idea for using the list: For each item, mark it as
√ I can do this well always/almost always
? I can do it sometimes/partially
X I can’t really do this well yet
• If you’re not able to do these things after you’ve done “preview, do, and review” activities online and in class, then
• try doing additional practice (the textbook, Supersite, etc.) on your own
• consider seeking out help from a tutor or classmate
• come see your teacher to ask questions or get additional help.
