The Core French Curriculum for grade eight is divided into four sections. Students will participate in a wide variety of activities ( games, surveys, songs, projects, large group discussions/modeling, simple reading/writing activities, etc.). The majority of this evaluation will be determined through oral and interactive activities done in class. A small portion of the final mark will be based on written production and reading. Students will be given multiple opportunities to show their learning in meeting the Core French outcomes. They will be assessed in the following areas:
Communication: Students will be able to function and interact in a classroom where French is the language spoken. They will learn by experiencing situations that relate to their needs and interests.
Culture: Students will learn about local French customs and traditions and how they relate to our national francophone culture. This will be done by examining Acadian, Quebec and French cultures from around the world.
General Language Formation: Students will learn various strategies to facilitate their communication in French.
Language: Students will be able to understand and use the vocabulary, expressions and structures relating to their needs in the classroom and authentic situations.
In order to meet the Core French outcomes students will focus on several general themes and will be introduced to various strategies and skills throughout the units. The following list indicates which units will be studied during the year. Units may change depending on interest levels and unforeseen situations.
