A) Plagiarism and academic honesty policies for the course:
Written assignments including homework that you submit in class must be entirely your own work. If you have any questions regarding homework, WIKI or essays please contact me.
B) Classwork
*Participation in target language is essential. Taking risks is part of learning a language in order to become familiar with or remove ambiguity.
* notebooks, pens, USB book (when needed) .
*homework , see AP Langue page, as well as the WIKI from school.
* quizzes are responsibility of students. If student is absent on quiz day, student should be prepared to take similar quiz within 2 days. Student is to go to my office, room A 201, during her/ his free time/lunch , retrieve quiz from box ( to do), do it in lab, and place it back in box (done), or be ready to take an oral quiz at my convenience.
C) Reading
a. discard dictionary
You must read the article(s), be able to infer meaning, understand vocabulary from context and not spend your time with a dictionary .
b. read for comprehension. read with a highligter and highlight all the words you understand, skip the one you don't. You may want to read one paragrah at the time, the entire article, read it twice, 3 times. It's OK. Keep track how long it takes you to read.
D(s)) Speaking
very important, try to use new structures, new vocabulary everyday . For those of you who are more reserved, make sure you go out of your comfort zone and sit next to someone slightly more ebullient than yourself.

First essay will be graded based on 1 point per mistake and can be redone for a 35 points bonus. Corrected essay must be attached to original one.
6. How to redo an essay?
quarter 1: Each essay will be corrected completely. Your task is to explain the corrections on a typed document with 3 columns, from left to right:
the mistake, the correction and why it's corrected that way.
ex: un jupe bleu---> une jupe bleue
un jupe une jupe jupe : nom féminin singulier
bleu bleue adjectif s'accorde en genre et
en nombre avec le nom
qu'il décrit; jupe étant féminin singulier,
bleue doit avoir un "e"
so each mistake must be explained, do not just write " I used the wrong ..." . You can explain the rationale of the correction in English.
Quarter 2:
each mistake will be underlined and coded, no longer corrected by me. You can redo the essay following the above mentionned directions.
C) Listening/ Labs
can be done in class or lab (our days in labs rotate), please make every effort to be in class for labs,. they are too complicated to redo.
