***Course Descriptions:***
French I
Prerequisite: None. Grade levels 9 through 12. French I is a basic introduction to French grammar and culture. Emphasis is placed equally on the skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Life and customs in France and other francophone countries are studied. Literature, skits, and music are interesting components of the program. Speaking the language is a main objective.
________________________________________________________
French II
Prerequisite: French I. French II is a sequential course to follow the first level. The course content is similar to French I but in greater depth and scope. Verb tenses, idioms, and more sophisticated grammatical structures are learned. The skill of speaking and writing are more fully developed. Students are involved in the construction of a typical French city and study of the provinces of France.
_________________________________________________________
French III
Prerequisite: French II. A thorough review of all previous grammar and verbs is undertaken, as suggested by the State Foreign Language Department. Oral presentations in French are required. All remaining verb tenses should be mastered, as well as grammar and idioms. The program is enhanced with study of francophone countries. Usually the class reads and studies Candide or another famous work of literature and its historical context. An essay in French is written at the end of the novel. Class members are required to speak French outside of class several times per grading period.
__________________________________________________________
French IV
Prerequisite: French III. French IV continues the study of the language as well as emphasis on speaking and reading. Individual research projects and papers are required. Students will read excerpts from masterpieces of literature and/or a novel. Advanced Placement test is available. French is spoken exclusively in this class.

Prerequisite: French IV. When there are French V students, the literary works and historical eras studied are different from those in French IV, but follow the same pattern of study. French is spoken exclusively in this class.
