FRENCH III HONORS PROGRAM / SUMMER 2015
Welcome to French III Honors class. Your decision to continue with the language demonstrates
your dedication to further your knowledge of French.
Philosophy: Reading and writing in French during summer vacation will help retard the erosion
of these skills, maintain interest in French, enhance individual responsibility for learning and
increase communication.
Students entering French III Honors in the fall of 2015 are required to do the following
assignments. Credit for the SUMMER WORK will be included in the first quarter grade.
Review Packet: Students will complete all exercises in the attached review packet. These
exercises review the form and function of essential grammar structures in French III Honors. It is
expected that this packet will be completed with accuracy, and all students should have a
command of the grammar structures included. When we meet in the fall, no revision time will be
given—the pace will be quick, and command of previously learned grammar is essential to
success in the course.
Thank you for supporting the French Honors Program and for taking interest in your education. If
you have any questions or problems concerning these assignments, you can e-mail me at
[email protected]. I hope that these activities will help you increase your knowledge of French.
Please sign, date, and ask a parent to sign the bottom part of this sheet and return it ASAP.
Merci! Amusez-vous bien!
Sincerely,
Madame Kelli Izzo
