Assessment and Evaluation Plan for French 3200:

Assessment in this course reflects instructional goals and is based on performance
linked to the following strands of the high school Core French program.

50% :
Listening, oral interaction and oral production (Lcoute et lexpression orale)

50%
Reading and Viewing

(La lecture et le visionnement)

Writing and Representing

(Lcriture et la representation)

For each of the themes students will complete the following types of activities:

Short tasks and activities: based on the content of a theme and requiring that
students demonstrate skills and knowledge from at least one or two strands. These
tasks include short role plays, readers theatre, oral presentations, personal writing
such as e-mails and texts, short narratives and drama productions; Written
productions such as short opinion pieces, letters, posters, and electronic messages.

A final task : requiring the student to demonstrate skills and knowledge from several
strands. Examples include: short role plays, oral presentations, opinion pieces, short
biographies, letters and posters, a profile of a favorite artist or a local cultural event,
or a promotion for a cultural event.

In addition to the assessments that take place for each module, Core French 3200
requires two other types of assessment throughout the year:

Short but more formal student-teacher interviews based on topics covered in the
course
Pieces of writing based on the course content and general classroom language.

Note that although Core French 3200 does not lend itself to traditional mid-year and
final examinations, appropriate activities for summative assessment (oral presentations,
teacher-student interviews and written productions) may be carried out at mid-year and
at year end as time permits.
