 | | French 2 students in class for instruction. |
For French students to have a solid basic knowledge of French it is recommended that after one year of French that they continue to complete French 2. Before beginning to learn new vocabulary and sentence structures the first few units of French 2 review everything that was studied in French 1. That provides extra practice for all students and welcomes students joining our classes from other schools.
French 2 units are built around mini "sosp operas" that involve a group of young French people in short episodes of their lives. At the end of each unit students prepare individual  | | French 2 students displaying "Bûches de Noël" holiday cakes after a cooking lesson. |
or small group projects to demonstrate what they have learned in the unit. At the end of French 2 students prepare indivudual French presentations and share these with the class through oral and/or powerpoint activities.
Students in all French classes focus on the national world language standards of the 5 C's: Communication, Cultures, Connections, Comparisons and Communities. Students practice listening, speaking, reading and writing French in every featured topic in the course and students learn to use French in culturally authemtic settings that include learning about all  | | French 2 book "Discovering French Nouveau-Blanc" c 2005 |
