Implementing District Standards

Our School District follows the Common Core Standards, but since these are written with the English language in mind, I will show how this unit will be relevant to the National Standards for Foreign Language Education, developed by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL). Students will be engaged in French conversation, expressing feelings, interpreting written language, and presenting ideas to listeners on a variety of topics in French. (Communication Standards 1.1, 1.2, 1.3)

Students will demonstrate an understanding of the relationship between the practices and perspectives of the culture studied, as well as between the products and the perspectives of the culture studied. (Culture Standards 2.1, 2.2)

Students will demonstrate the understanding of the nature of the language and culture through comparisons of the French language and their own cultures. (Comparisons standards 4.1, 4.2)
