Course Description
This course is designed to further the students’ proficiency in the four aspects of the language: reading, writing, speaking and listening. In French IV, students will work on advanced grammar and on increasing their vocabulary. Composition writing and interpretation of literature is also emphasized.
Grading Policy
Students in the class will receive grades in three different categories:
· Quizzes, Tests and Projects (70% of your grade)
There will be several quizzes and tests during each quarter. Assessments will include sections of listening, reading, writing and culture, as well as vocabulary and grammar. Students will be notified in advance of the dates of the assessments. A study guide will be provided for major tests.
Once per quarter, students will be required to complete a project. Students will receive a rubric for each assignment through which they will be graded.
· Homework (15% of your grade)
Students will receive a grade (10 points) for each homework assignment. Students who do not have their homework in class on the due date will receive a grade of zero for that assignment.
· Participation (15% of your grade)
All students begin the quarter with a score of 100 for their participation grade. Active and positive participation in class is expected. On the other hand, misbehavior, disruption and lack of preparation (forgetting notebook, textbook, folder) will reduce this grade of 2 points per class.
