Informations générales

The purpose of French 308 is to introduce the student to the civilization of modern France, from the short-lived glorious ideals of the French Revolution to the founding of its Fifth Republic, from its position as a formidable European and colonial power to its present position in the European Union. Through readings, lectures, Internet explorations, and class discussions, the student will be exposed to the cultural heritage, the perspectives, and the problems of the well-educated French citizen.

Although the primary aim of the course is to provide the student with insight into the rich heritage and world view of the French people, it also strives to continue perfecting the student's understanding of the spoken and written French language. For this reason, the course will be conducted in French.

 

Course Expectations

In order to be achieved successfully, the above goals require the student's full cooperation. Active class participation, timely completion of reading and writing assignments are key ingredients to success. Evidence of lack of preparation will result in a lower grade. Because the course is to be conducted in French, the student is expected to continue perfecting his/her reading, listening, and writing skills.

Course Structure

The course components include the following:

• Pre and post tests
• Readings (lectures) in the text and supplemental electronic texts available on the internet.
• Online outlines of lectures enhanced with links to relevant resources in France
• In class lectures
• In-class group work and discussions
• Service learning project
• Formative assessment
  

Reading and Discussion Assignments: Each student will be expected to prepare each reading assignment in preparation for discussion in class. For each reading, students will be asked to prepare questions which will then be shared with classmates via the online discussion board. Points will be given for participation and for completeness of responses.

Tests: Tests will be announced and will cover material discussed in class and available on the Internet. Quizzes may be unannounced.

Service Learning Project: Each student (or two students working together) will select a topic early in the quarter from a list of possible subjects. The students will conduct in-depth research of the topic throughout the quarter using a variety of resources available in the library or on the Internet. The students will then create a lesson based on the research and will teach it to a French class at I-Poly. (Option: those students who feel comfortable with computers may create the lesson using PowerPoint or a webpage with the material that they have gathered. Assistance will be provided regarding HTML language, the formatting language for World Wide Web documents.)

Final exam: Fill in the blanks and short essay questions.
