Middle School French 3 Pacing Guide Text: Allez, viens! En route! French III Pacing Guide Grade 8 Continuing Sequence

Excerpt from the North Carolina Standard Course of Study

The Continuing Program is a sequential program which builds on the previous study of the target language and its culture as initiated in the elementary grades. It allows students to perform the basic functions of the language using increasingly complex structures and to become familiar with some detailed elements of its culture. The emphasis is placed on the on-going progressive development of the four skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing within a given context extending outside of the classroom setting. The context focuses on adolescents’ lives, needs, and experiences, but also expands into other aspects of life and exposes students to a variety of customs and lifestyles. Grammar is integrated throughout the course and is selected according to the language needs (functions).

A somewhat detailed study of the culture, its products (e.g. songs, games, food, traditions), perspectives (e.g. attitudes, values, beliefs), and practices (patterns of social interaction) is included in the program. Students acquire some understanding of how languages and cultures work by comparing the target language and culture(s) to their own.

Integration of other disciplines is on-going throughout the curriculum.

This guide is for an A/B day schedule. This means that if a unit takes 8 days you can figure on 16 days in total. The plans are to begin after the first two days of class allowing for introduction to course, issuing of textbooks, and other beginning of school tasks.) The NC SCS goals and objectives are listed for each unit. These are goals and objectives that can be met by the various activities and lessons in each unit. Please monitor your pacing so that this guide may be updated as needed.
