Learning Targets


As successful students of 1st and 2nd year French, you will continue to acquire
and develop your language skills in 4 primary areas: listening, speaking, reading and
writing. These language skills will be developed through the study and use of a wide
range of written and spoken material. Such material will extend from everyday oral
exchanges to short stories, articles, and music that relate to the French culture of
today. You will learn and assimilate basic language structures to use in a range of
situations and purposes. These situations will extend to the domains of work, social
relationships, art, politics, health, sports, current events, and self (past, present, and
future). In short, you will learn to communicate effectively in a number of situations.
For more detail, please ask to consult the Standards by Design, Oregon Dept. of
Education.

3 Assessment
Grading policy:
Individual academic achievement will be based on a variety of assessments that reflect what a
student knows, understands, and can do according to the Course Standards delineated for
this level. Come prepared to participate, and you will have FUN! All assignments,
orals, and tests have a numerical value from which you can determine the letter
grade based on the following percentile breakdown:
A : 90%-100% B : 80%-89% C : 70%-79% D : 60%-69%
Ordinarily, you have an opportunity to earn well over 1000 points per semester. Grades are based on a
semester cumulative point system. There are no weighted grades.
Formative assessments
Quizzes, reading responses, journal writes, essays, letters, in-class worksheets,
homework.
Orals, participation, activities, presentations.
Summative assessments (largest component of overall grade: 80%)
Skits, role plays, projects, open-ended orals, completeness of notebook (binder) which
is your portfolio. These assessments are accompanied by a detailed rubrique that
clearly outlines what you must do to receive the grade that you desire.
Student Records:
Students will keep a running tally of their graded work on the record sheet provided. All graded papers will be
saved by the teacher in case there is a discrepancy between student records and the instructors grade book.
Extra Credit: some test questions.
Assignments
Expect daily homework in the form of study guides, based on the class lesson to
reinforce learning.
a. Expect formative practice and assessments the next scheduled day, based on the
study guide.
b. Study guides are announced daily, posted on the whiteboard and on Madames
website.
In the case of an excused absence, it is your responsibility to check the website, or the
whiteboard upon your return. You may also call your homework partner (recorded in your
Programme).
c. You have the number of days absent, plus one to submit make-up work for all
excused absences, except for exams and long-range assignments that you have
known about in advance. Meaning : long-term projects are due the day that you
return.
District policy:
If a student has excessive, excused absences that result in insufficient work upon
which to base a grade, then he/she will receive an (I) Incomplete, and will have 3
weeks to make up the work.
Complete your long-term projects on time; due at the beginning of class. Work will
drop one letter grade per day that it is late. Assignments that are not received will
be recorded as a zero.
Participate in written, oral and creative projects that often require teamwork.
Be prepared to actively participate in class (detailed scoring guide and expectations in this
programme.

5 Classroom conduct
Make-up Work
Whenever a class is missed, it is the students responsibility to see their teachers concerning make-up assignments. It
is important that this be done the day the student returns to school so that he/she does not fall behind the rest of the
class. Students are allowed one more day than the number of days absent to complete their make-up work.
This policy does not apply to tests, exams, or major projects which were scheduled in advance. In these cases, the
teachers written class guidelines will apply. If extenuating circumstances prevent the student from attending class, the
student should contact the teacher.

Plagiarism
It is the responsibility of the school to strongly promote academic honesty and integrity. Cheating will not be tolerated.
The student will have another opportunity to do his/her own work.

School-Wide Focus - Respectful Behavior
As a learning community at Hillsboro High School, we are dedicated to establishing a learning environment that models
respect, dignity, and decency. Our staff is committed to a school-wide effort to ensure a respectful environment
throughout our campus every day. Our respectful environment means:
Communicating respectfully to all students and all staff (Communicators).
Using school appropriate language at all times (Caring, Principled).
Complying with all school policies (Principled).
Responding appropriately to reasonable requests made by our staff members (Communicators).
Supporting the learning of all students in the school (Caring).
Modeling a respectful attitude to all students and staff (Reflective, Caring, Communicators).
Our staff will work respectfully with students to address disrespectful behaviors. Every staff member may work with any
student to redirect their behaviors. Inappropriate behaviors may result in disciplinary consequences. Please note that
the IB Learner Profile ideals are in italics next to our description of a respectful environment.

Hilhi Tardy Sweep System in Student Handbook
a. At the first period bell, students still in the halls will be swept to report to the attendance office for an admit
slip. First period tardies will be addressed by admin.

b. Tardies are counted by period. A parent contact will be made once a referral is made to the administrator
(4th tardy).

c. Consequences for tardies:

1st tardy: warning

2nd tardy: warning

3rd tardy: 1 detention-assigned by teacher

4th tardy: referral-after school (T/Th) or Wed AM-assigned by admin

5th tardy -Saturday School-assigned by admin

d. After 10 tardies, a parent/student/administrator conference will be held.

e. At the end of Semester One, tardy counts will start over.

Electronic Devices
Hilhi discourages students from bringing personal electronic devices to school (such as iPods, MP3 Players, hand-held
games, etc.). Unfortunately, many stolen items are not recovered and the student has to suffer a loss. If students must
bring a cell phone to school, we suggest that they only use it before and after school. If a student is using the device
during class without teacher permission, the student will take the device to the front office. Refer to the School Policy
for detailed consequences of subsequent infractions.
