Bonjour ! My name is Nicole Naditz. This year, I am teaching French 1, 3, 4, and AP. I'm excited to welcome you to my classes. There is a lot of exciting news to mark the beginning of the year in my French classes. College credit from CSUS for French 3 and 4 students For the first time ever, the French 3, 4 and AP students will all be eligible for college credit through Sacramento State University. Click here for more information. Collaboration, conservation and culture: wikis bring the world to our students and our students to the world - French 4 and AP classes will take a field trip on September 30 to SMUD to learn about solar lighting. We have already received a $5,000 grant from SMUD to pay for solar lighting that will be used at a special outdoor storytelling at the Fair Oaks Library and then sent on to our Peace Corps World Wise Schools partner school in Burkina Faso, Africa. That school is located in a village with no electricity at all.
Click here to visit our wiki on solar lighting (to be developed over the course of the school year) and read our class blog on the experience (which will also develop over the school year).
- French 4/AP is also connected to L'Institut Saint François de Sales in Belgium, with whom they will correspond over the course of the year. Click here to visit our epals wiki, an online, collaborative virtual correspondence page.
- French 3 is also corresponding to the same school. Click here to visit their epals wiki.
- All levels will complete two cultural research projects this year, one in the fall and one in the spring. However, unlike traditional projects, these will be paperless. Each student has their own page on their class' culture wiki. Their proposals, my approval, and their ultimate projects (including bibliography) will all be completed through wikis. Check them throughout the year to see the projects develop.
Online gradebook - Online grades will be available once again. You should be receiving emails from me that contain your login information so that you can view your grades. If you are not receiving my emails, please contact me.
Homework and PowerPoints available online - Stay current! Check out the homework page, which is updated weekly (see navigation menu on the left).
- You can also view PowerPoints used in classes. The PowerPoints are useful for review or to provide extra help if a student has been absent.To see the PowerPoints I have created to teach new material to my students, click on "Resources" on the left, then scroll down to view uploaded files.
Other resources on this site
- Remember that the textbook has a companion web site. Students can find additional practice and quizzes (with immediate feedback) and also flash cards (with pronunciation). Click on "My Links" on the left and then scroll to your class and click on "Classzone" (for levels one and three). Level 4 students have already created accounts on the web site that accompanies their textbook. They will at times be assigned homework that is submitted directly to me via this web site.
- Additional resources are also available at "my links", including streaming audio and video to perfect students' listening comprehension.
