Assessment and Evaluation
Assessment activities will be designed for students to demonstrate what they have learned and to communicate their understanding of the Grade 8 Core French outcomes designed by the Nova Scotia Department of Education. Assessments will be varied and will include but not limited to:
Oral and written work
Teacher observations
Rubics
Class participation
All summative assessments will be outcome based using the four point rubric. As the majority of this class is to improve and obtain a French basis, a large portion of the evaluation and assessments will be conducted orally.
Extra-Help
Extra-help is available upon request. I will be at the school Tuesdays and Thursdays for the entire day and Friday afternoons. Students should see me whenever necessary to schedule a time for support; however, I will be in my room for assistance or questions every Tuesday during the first half of lunch.
To access the Core French curriculum outcomes, refer to the Nova Scotia Department of Education website at www.ednet.ns.ca under “Document Depot”. From there go to “Curriculum & Textbooks”, followed by “Learning Outcomes Framework”.
Student Success:
It is essential students come to class prepared all year. It is not unusual for students to run out of pencils or have binders with broken rings during the course of the year. Please be prepared!
Students are responsible to check-in with me upon missing a class; especially after an extended absence.
Sometimes the more I know about a student the better I am able to help them. We all have bad days - if something is going on in your child’s life that may affect their learning, please let me know.
As this is a French classroom the running of daily activities will be conducted in French. Students are strongly encouraged to maintain the French environment by speaking French. This will ensure that you are making the most of your time to learn the language.
