Quarter 3 French III: 13 face-to-face lessons of 105 minutes spread over 7 weeks.

Goal and theme of the class

At the end of the course, students should be able to:
1) Reinforce the knowledge of Quarter 1 and 2.
2) Express themselves orally and in writing on the topics beyond their personal world and understand temporal nuances in terms of facts, forecasts, and possibilities.
3) Develop an appreciation of the history of France, French people`s lifestyle, habits, ways of being and make comparisons with their own cultures.

Overview of the class

Students should be able to comprehend and respond with increasing proficiency to spoken and written French, demonstrate nuanced cultural awareness and develop an appreciation of the relevance of critical thinking in French. As a guideline for the Quarter 3 Fall 1 2023, elements of Spirale that were completed in the previous two quarters must be reviewed. Students will continue to explore new vocabulary, verbs and sentence constructions that go beyond the theme of Personal World.

Lesson schedule

French III is a continuation of French I and II that the students completed in Quarter 1 and Quarter 2. As a general guideline, in French III, students will review the pages 38 and 39 of Spirale and continue to develop an understanding of the vocabulary and written and spoken expressions going beyond the theme Personal World.
