French Film
This course will explore the history of francophone countries from the dawn of civilization until the present day. In-class activities will include viewing and discussing French films, and reading and discussing short stories and poetry. A brief French grammar review will accompany each week’s lesson. Brief, weekly written homework assignments will allow students to synthesize the grammar and vocabulary from each film or piece of literature. Since students will have already mastered the basics of French vocabulary and grammar in French II and French III, the focus of this class will be on conversation and prose writing.
