English and French Language in the French Immersion Program
Students are assessed in English language in 4
strands: Oral Communication, Media Literacy, Reading and Writing. Students are
assessed in French language in 4 strands: Listening, Speaking, Reading and
Writing. In the French Immersion program, we integrate between the subject
areas and the English and French halves of the program often. Often, language
concepts when referring to types of text, writing styles, reading strategies,
comprehension strategies and various text features are presented in the English
language program and those skills and strategies are then transferred and
practiced with the French language in French class. Throughout the year we will
explore many strategies in Reading and Writing, several of which have already
been practiced and presented on the English side. This exploration will occur
through lessons, literacy stations, daily 5 activities and created works. Our
reading and writing will often be integrated with our learning in science and
social studies. In French we will also put a great deal of emphasis on the
spoken language by speaking, conversing and presenting frequently. We will also
continue to train our French ears by listening to French being spoken by others
in videos, songs and read-aloud texts. The progression of language acquisition
follows the following format: First listening, then speaking followed by
reading and writing. If students cannot understand the spoken language or speak
it then they will not be able to read it or write in it effectively. Please
visit the class website often for additional updates http://plrgrade3fi.blogspot.ca/
FAQ
Are there
any other supplies you need for school?
A French-English dictionary to be kept at
home would a useful resource.
Do you
need indoor shoes?
Yes! Just like in the school students are
required to bring an extra pair of shoes. This allows us to keep our learning
environment neat and welcoming for all those in it.
Do you
have any homework?
Yes! Students will be given activities to
complete for homework on an as needed basis. If there is no direct homework
given, students are encouraged to visit the classroom website for extra
practice and use our online learning platforms such as DreamBox and Prodigy.
Additionally, Student should be reading
for at least 20 minutes each night alternating between French and English. This
reading can be done in many ways- through RazKids on a computer or tablet,
through Lecture Enfants (coming soon), reading an online article, researching a
favourite sport/hobby, looking through a cookbook, reading a book, etc.
