Assignments & Evaluation Criteria (PASS/FAIL course)
The assignments have been designed, in part, to provide you and your colleagues with a repertoire of
second language lesson plans and project rubrics that will serve you on practicum and in your teaching
career. The inquiry project allows you to reflect on and explore your practice as a language learner and
teacher. Additionally, you will engage in language learning as you participate, contribute, act as part of a
demo class for your colleagues, etc.
LANGUAGE LEARNING JOURNEY (Le portfolio)- due on or before ______
Using the Language Portfolio as a point de départ, reflect on your journey to date as a language learner (for
all languages) using this document (.doc) .
A. Identify your proficiency levels in English, French and other languages.
B. Indicate some of your language learning experiences and strategies.
C. Represent 3 to 5 artifacts (could be written, drawn, audio, photos, etc.) with 2 to 3 sentences explaining
the personal connection to each.

DEMONSTRATION TEACHING LESSON (sign up in pairs)
Prepare and teach a short lesson focusing on one learning outcome (drawn from the BC Draft French
curriculum document) within one area of language proficiency (listening, spoken production, spoken
interaction, reading, writing). Your demo lesson will be about 10 minutes long, so there will only be time
for you to present part of the overall lesson plan; however, it is expected that one person will focus on oral
language development and the other will engage learners in a task/activity using the newly-developed
language.
Conduct the lesson segment as if the class members are the target student group, for example, Grade 7 core
French. (An introductory lesson in another language may also be conducted.) Instructions or prompts
should be given in the target language as much as possible.
Produce a lesson plan (template - .doc) comprising the targeted curriculum learning outcome, your specific
lesson objectives, targeted student group, materials, procedure, evaluation and extension/adaptation ideas.
It should be emailed to me before or right after presenting your lesson, revised according to feedback and
sent back to me for sharing with the group. The goal is that colleagues should be able to replicate your
lesson, so please include any additional handouts, visuals, lyrics or items that you develop to enhance the
lesson.

EVALUATION RUBRIC (in-class project; due _____) ... rubric frame .doc ... .pdf
Prepare an evaluation rubric for one project or product. It should reflect the required learning outcomes and
Can-do statements in the current BC Draft French Curriculum but be specific to criteria and performance
standards related to a thematic project or final task.
Include oral and written component(s) for the project, each of which provides opportunity to demonstrate
progress in relation to specific criteria and performance standards.
Please note that time will be built into one class for us to work together on developing and refining these
evaluation rubrics.
