I take advanced French with M. Menard. The class is conducted entirely in French so as to make us more comfortable with speaking in french. It may seem like we don't do a lot on the assignment at hand, but that's because we are learning a lot more outside of the assignment. French can be a lot of fun.
Example French AssignmentMenard asked us to write a brief essay describing which political party we felt represented us. It might be fun to throw it into a translater site, but I don't know. So far, this is the only computer-necessitating assignment we've had.
Menard SongWe had to sell something for a 10 minute infomercial. The assignment was fairly open-ended, so I recorded Menard for 10 minutes, while he was talking to abby, and put some quotes to music. This is the final product, so far...
First ReadingThis is the first of the summaries of the readings that made up our final exam.
Nearly Last ReadingThis is the next to last reading of the twelve reading long torture that Menard put us through for four months.
The reading that matteredThis is the reading that I was actually asked about and read from for my final exam. I did fairly well, mainly because we talked about other stuff like existentialism, elephants, and winning the robotics world championships!
