Core French, Grade 11

Active listening to detailed speech (11e-12e band)

I can apply active-listening strategies to build the meaning of a detailed spoken French message on a wider social topic - catching consolidated conditional forms and a first subjunctive in fixed phrases.

Comprehending a detailed spoken text

I can show my comprehension of a detailed spoken French text on a wider social topic by summarizing not just the facts but the reasoning - the claim and the reasons behind it.

Catching nuance and register in speech

I can catch nuance in detailed spoken French - a speaker's degree of certainty, their register (formal or informal), and shades of opinion.

Structuring speech on social issues

I can produce coherent, structured spoken French on a wider social topic - organizing a detailed turn, using consolidated conditional forms and a subjunctive in fixed phrases.

Speaking fluently with growing independence

I can sustain spoken French on a social topic with growing independence - repairing my own slips, paraphrasing to stay clear, and keeping the exchange going with less support.

Debating and justifying in conversation

I can debate a social issue in French - justifying my stand with reasons, responding to a counter-argument, and using conditional and fixed-phrase subjunctive to propose and concede.

Presenting a detailed argument

I can present a detailed, structured French talk on a social issue - with an introduction, a developed argument of two or three points, and a conclusion with a proposal.

I can apply reading strategies - previewing, inferring, using structure and connectors - to construct the meaning of detailed, varied short French texts on wider social topics.

Comprehending everyday text on wider topics

I can show overall comprehension of an everyday-language French text on a wider social topic - its main idea, its supporting points, and the writer's stance.

Reading a francophone-world text and connecting

I can read a cultural French text about the wider francophone world, understand it overall, and connect it to PEI's Acadian community and the wider Francophonie.

Orienting your writing with growing independence

I can orient a detailed French text with growing independence - planning purpose and audience, drafting organized paragraphs, and revising for coherence and language with less support.

Writing a detailed argument text

I can write a detailed, coherent French argument text on a wider social topic - stating a stance, supporting it with reasons, answering a counter-point, and proposing - using consolidated conditionnel and a first subjonctif in fixed phrases.

Writing a reflective or narrative text

I can write a reflective or narrative French text on a wider topic - a reflection on an experience or a short narrative - using elaborated vocabulary across the present, past, future and conditional.
