Les personnages
Throughout the rest of the school year, you will be creating stories with recurring characters. The rough and final drafts will
count as Projects/Essay grades.
Rough drafts – 10 points
For each story, submit a written rough draft. As I review it, I will underline words that need agreement adjustments (i.e.,
verbs, articles, adjectives) and circle otherwise incorrect words (i.e., an English word that is not a cognate in French). I will
use the following rubric to grade the rough drafts. You do not need to include images with your rough drafts. Points will be
reduced for late work (1 point per day):
10 points
All verbs are correctly
conjugated, proper
agreements made, all
unknown French
vocabulary looked up
the use of online
translators (online
dictionaries are okay).
All prompts are
answered.
