My Progress From Day 1 to Now.
When I began French 9 I had a brief understanding of basic French knowledge. I struggled in more difficult parts of French 8 and could not confidently reply to simple questions in French. But after this semester of French 9, I can reply to questions in French with confidence and am able to keep up a simple conversation in French. French 9 has reinforced my prior knowledge of French and helped me learn many new techniques that will help me succeed in French 10. Even with all of the new things I have learned, pronouncing words in French is still a stretch for me but I am confident that I will accomplish this in French 10.
The Project I am Most Proud of.
We did a minimal amount of projects in French 9, but the project I am most proud of is my family tree project. I made a family tree and then described each person in a minimum of three sentences. The project itself was not perfect but I was very proud of my pronunciation and my confidence when speaking in front of the class in French. I practiced my presentation as much as I could and that practice is what really helped with my confidence. What I would have done differently is that I would of given more information about each family member.
Core Competencies: Thinking/Personal Social.
At the beginning of French 9 I thought it was going to be impossible to speak French in only one semester. But I was pleasantly surprised when I realized how mush I have improved in French. I feel like I have been a positive student in class. I continually participate in class discussions and I consistently give my opinions and answers in class.
