New year, new efforts
French 4 is moving along well and strong with translations, readings, conversations. Some days they might feel like the challenge is too much, but they will recognize the fruits of their efforts down the road, I hope. And for some of them, this hard work will pay off next June when they are travelling in France for 3 weeks, with one week in a homestay situation!
French 3 is also moving along at a good pace - I need to rethink my test writing as their final exam was WAY too long - we needed extra time when we came back in January and that still was not enough time for everyone.....but we had covered so many different topics last fall that I wanted them to see what they had accomplished...I will work harder for the spring final. Our new unit deals with hotel stays and they are in the middle of a fun and creative little project where they draw up their ideal hotel and give it a fun name.
