French 12 AP
Grading Policy:
In the foreign language classroom, the class participation grade counts as 25% of the total grade and is based on: attendance, punctual arrival to class, timely completion of homework assignments and daily positive contribution in all class activities as described in the Class Participation Rubrics. The remaining 75% of the grade will be based on written quizzes and exams, and special projects. Please note that all projects whether written or oral will have their own grading rubric. French AP will culminate in the French Language and Culture AP Exam. Classes will continue to meet after the AP exam and complete their final project.
