*Department permission required.
This advanced elective course, meant as a continuation to French 3, uses the Vista Higher Learning program, Imaginez. This program gives students a wide variety of contemporary and authentic materials with award winning short films in each chapter. The program integrates text, technology and media while continuing to focus on grammar and vocabulary acquisition. The course is taught entirely in the target language. Qualified students may contract for honors.
*Department permission required.
This course reviews all previous morphology and grammatical syntax and introduces students to the more sophisticated structures of the Latin language: from ablative absolutes to indirect statements. Uniting all materials, from vocabulary to translation to cultural material, are the stories from the Cambridge Latin Course Units III and IV. Topics range from the senatorial class to poetry in the Augustan Age. All Latin is closely based on original material and a variety of literary genres is introduced, from the poetry of Ovid to the epigrams of Martial.
This course is designed for students who have completed Latin III so successfully that they would like to continue studying Latin literature. Using The Cambridge Latin Anthology as the core text, the students explore, translate and recite Latin from a wide variety of authors. Recognition of literary and rhetorical devices is taught. Hexameter scansion of epic poetry is practiced in written and oral forms.
* Department permission required.
The course introduces a core vocabulary, idioms, major pronoun groups, verbs of the three regular conjugations in present and preterite, and the most important irregular ones. Present progressive and the near future are also introduced. Cultural topics are included in each unit. Because this course covers nearly the same material as the two years of Middle School Spanish, the pace is brisk. Conversational Spanish is the goal and communicative activities play a large part in this course.
AP课程: Studio Art-3D Design, 2D design and drawing , English 12, French, Latin, Spanish language and culture, Calculus AB, Calculus BC, Statistics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Environmental Science, US history
This course reviews fundamental material from French A and B, introducing students to more advanced French grammar, including reflexive verbs, the imperfect past tense, direct and indirect object pronouns, and the pronouns y and en. Cultural topics and short presentations are integrated into the curriculum. The pace is faster than in French B. With departmental permission, qualified students may contract for honors, which requires one extra weekly assignment and more challenging assessments.
This advanced course, meant as a continuation to French 2, focuses on essential tenses such as the subjunctive, conditional, future, past perfect, imperative and past infinitive, but also many advanced grammatical structures such as comparatives, relative pronouns, si clauses, reciprocal verbs, causative with faire, and inverted questions. The course is taught predominantly in the target language and conversational skills are emphasized. Qualified students may contract for honors.
*Department permission required.
This course will provide students with a thorough knowledge of group dynamics. Students will also learn leadership and problem solving skills and will have first hand opportunities to use these skills when they lead weekly small group discussions with freshman. Students in this course must commit to a three-day retreat in August. *By application and permission.
