Syllabus, French I
Objective: In an ever-shrinking world, communication with people from other world regions an cultures has become of paramount importance. In the French class, the learner will be able to exchange simple spoken and written information in French, utilizing cultural references where appropriate. The learner will also be able to demonstrate the skills necessary to sustain brief oral and written exchanges, and be able to demonstrate Novice-Mid proficiency in speaking, listening, reading comprehension and writing.
Materials: In class the student will be using the French text, Allez, Viens!, Level One. Students will be given a workbook of practice activities to accompany the text. If lost, the cost of the workbook is $12.00. In class, the students may also use the beginning French reader, Joie de Lire. There is also a video-cassette and an audio-cassette program which will accompany the textbook. Students are to have purchased, per the Floyd Middle School supply list, a 3-inch 3-ring binder that is to be divided into sections for each of the student's classes. The French section should be further subdivided into 4 sections: 1) Travaux de Classe, 2) Devoirs, 3) La Musique. This section of the binder will serve as the student's portfolio for all written assignments, handouts, and class notes. The portfolio is to be brought to class everyday and will be checked periodically.
Methodology: The first semester of the course will cover an introduction to the language, salutations, expressing opinions and preferences, negation, asking and responding to questions, verbs in the present tense, and topical vocabulary related to the school, activities, weather, dates and seasons. The second semester will cover making suggestions and excuses, ordering in a cafe/restaurant, making plans and responding to invitations, describing people and things, talking on the telephone, topical vocabulary related to food, family, clothing, vacations; more verbs in the present tense, the introduction of the passe compose and, time permitting, the future tense. Monday--Thursday the students will focus on language development, listening and speaking skills, and oral and written comprehension. Friday lessons will be part of a Vendredi de Musique unit, in which the class will research selected French musicians and their music from throughout the Francophone world. Students will be expected to participate in class, complete all homework assignments, prepare oral presentations, work in groups, and demonstrate both oral and written comprehension of the language.
Grading: The evaluation of student performance will be based on the following criteria:
Homework (10%)
Class participation (10%)
Quizzes (25%)
Tests (25%)
Vendredi de Musique projects and activities (20%)
Group work (oral and written) (10%)
Make-up Work: Students must see the teacher for any missed assignments due to absences. Assignments given before an absence will be due on the date of the student's return to school. There will be a two-day time frame in which to turn in assignments received after an absence and to make up oral and written tests.
Behavior Management: Students are expected to behave appropriately at all times. Minor infractions will result in first a warning and then a phone call home. Continued infractions may result in the assignment of detention, ISS or even OSS, depending upon the severity of the infraction.
While this will be a challenging course, it is one that will not only increase the student's knowledge of the French language but also provide him/her with additional communicative skills that will help him/her to succeed in a global society. Students who successfully complete the course will receive one high school credit in foreign language. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at (770) 819-2453.

Objective: In an ever-shrinking world, communication with people from other world regions and cultures has become of paramount importance. In the IEL class, the learner will be able to use English in both oral and written form to achieve academically in all content areas. The learner will use English to obtain, process, construct and provide subject matter information in both oral and written forms. The learner will also use English to communicate both orally and in written form in social settings, for personal expression and for personal enjoyment.
Materials: In class, the student will be using the following texts:
For the IEL Communication Skills 1 and 2 classes, The Oxford English Picture Dictionary, Newcomer Phonics, and Teacher Created Materials (for reading development).
For the IEL 1 Reading and Listening for the Content Areas class and the IEL 2 Oral Communication in the Content Areas class, Keys to Learning, Longman Mathematics, and Teacher Created Materials (for social studies, science, and math), in addition to selected readings from supplemental texts/materials.

Students are to have purchased, per the Floyd Middle School supply list, a 3-inch 3-ring binder and loose-leaf paper. The binder will be used for all classes. The classes should be separated by dividers. The dividers for the IEL classes should be labelled IEL Communication Skills 1 &2, Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. These sections of the binder will serve as the student's portfolio for all written assignments, handouts, and class notes. The portfolio is to be brought to class everyday and will be checked periodically.
Methodology: The first semester of the course will cover an introduction to the language, the alphabet and numbers, sound/letter associations of consonants and vowels, vowel/consonant patterns, print awareness, affirmative/negative sentences, personal information, simple yes/no questions, social greetings, and topical vocabulary related to the school and academic subjects. The second semester of the course will cover high frequency words, English writing conventions, rhyming words, ordered sets, antonyms and synonyms, environmental print, clarification of meaning, the expression of personal needs and ideas, and topical vocabulary related to a variety of academic subjects. Students will be expected to participate in class, complete all homework assignments, prepare oral presentations, work in groups, and demonstrate both oral and written comprehension of the language.
