FRENCH SAMPLE COURSE DESCRIPTION

GS-EAST

The goal for students of French at Governor’s School is to use French to express one’s self while addressing the question, "Qui suis-je?" or "Who am I?" While this question is large in scale, students will begin an endeavor, a life-long endeavor, to chip away at it through the consideration of aspects presented through topics relevant to Francophone culture.

All of the work and effort are made in French. Students must converse in French to participate and contribute in class discussions and activities. With such an interesting, creative, and stimulating curriculum, a student misses out and feels frustrated or left out when he or she lacks the skills to express him- or herself. It is a challenge to consider the idea of who one is, especially in a different language, so the students must be up to the task.
