French AP
In French III/AP French we will explore the history of francophone countries from the dawn of civilization to the present day. In-class activities will include reading and discussing short stories and poetry, and viewing and discussing French literature and films. A French grammar review will accompany each week’s lesson. Weekly written homework assignments will allow students to synthesize the grammar and vocabulary from each film or piece of literature. Since students have already mastered the basics of French grammar and vocabulary, the focus of this class will be on conversation and writing. Tests will cover the grammar and vocabulary associated with each film and work of literature. All classes for French III/AP French will be conducted entirely in French, and are designed to prepare students for the Advanced Placement French Language Exam. Students are encouraged, but not required, to take the AP Exam, which is administered in May.
