OVERALL EXPECTATIONS
To be a successful student, you must:
- Attend class regularly;
- Be on time and prepared for class;
- Respect yourself and others in the class;
- Be responsible;
- Be organized;
- Ask for help when it's needed.
CLASSROOM TOOLS
You are required to bring the following materials to each class:
- A 3-ring binder;
- Regular blue/black pens OR regular lead pencils;
- Red pens / pencils (for marking, correcting and editing);
- Eraser / whiteout;
- Notebook (provided by the school);
- Workbook (le cahier);
- A French / English dictionary;
- A Bescherelle: Complete Guide to Conjugating 12 000 French Verbs, English Edition; ISBN 2-89045-808-3 (STRONGLY RECOMMENDED).
NOTEBOOK ORGANIZATION
When completing
exercises in your notebook, all material is to be kept in
the correct order and maintained.
When taking notes
in
class, paper will be provided
and you will be told in which section to put
them. You will also be told
in which section to put class handouts. All in
class handouts must also
be included. Each page is to be dated at the top
right-hand corner.
If you are absent, it is your
responsibility to catch up on missed work
immediately and you may access daily homework through the homework
link at www.uncoupdemain.org.
To help even further, you should have 2 homework "buddies" who will help you get caught up when you are
absent or who can help you if you are having difficulty with a particular homework assignment. Their name and phone numbers
should be written in your agenda so that you do not lose them.
HOMEWORK
All incomplete class work is homework. All homework will be taken up at the beginning of
each class, if it is not being collected for marking. If you fail to complete the homework task satisfactorily or you do not
have it with you, you will be given an "X" at the beginning of the class, which will be recorded in my files. If you demonstrate
a regular habit of not completing your homework, a phone call will be made to your parents or guardians.
CLASSROOM BEHAVIOUR
1. You are expected to be ON TIME to class.
2. You are to be sitting at your desk with your notebook / binder open to the previous day's work, and ready for the regular
warm-up activity.
3. You are expected to respect all people in my classroom.
4. You are expected to participate actively in class, regardless of potential mistakes.
5. Do not write on the desks, chairs, walls, bulletin boards or chalkboards.
6. Do not chew gum or eat candy in class.
7. In general, you will not be permitted to leave the classroom during class time unless on a washroom break or due to special
circumstances.
CLASSROOM PARTICIPATION
It is very important that students participate regularly in French class. Please keep in
mind that the majority of the course is based on speaking and listening development. Be prepared to speak in French every
class with myself and your classmates.
QUIZZES, PROJECTS AND TESTS
These are to be signed by a parent or guardian within the timeframe given to you in class.
Signatures will be checked and recorded during class. If you fail to have the required signature, a call will be made to your
parents or guardians.
EXTRA HELP
I am available to provide you with extra help after school from 3:00 to 3:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays,
or Mondays and Fridays from 12:20 - 1:00 (during Homework Club) in my classroom. But remember, it is up
to YOU to ask for help as soon as you need it.
