• Expectations MP 3-
    Class participation:  Remember that in French class the expectation is that each student will be prepared with all materials necessary to work during the entire French block. Participation means doing what you are expected to do when you are expected to do it. 
    Students are expected to submit completed homework and classwork on time and in the correct place (Google Classroom page, wire basket, etc.)  at our next block meeting. Turn in homework or classwork  to me at  kathleen.gauthier@frsd.us   if it is late because you are absent due to illness or other parental excuse.  You have one extra A- or B-day to turn in homework or classwork if you are absent due to illness or other parental excuse.  
    Follow directions and always do your best!! NO STUDENT WILL USE AN ONLINE TRANSLATOR FOR ANY WORK DONE FOR FRENCH CLASS. STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO DO THEIR OWN WORK USING THE RESOURCES PROVIDED BY THE TEACHER.
    Expectations for Class Participation in French class;
    In French class students will do what they  are supposed to do when they are supposed to do it.  For example, follow directions,  submit homework on time, participate in classroom activities.
