We can all work together to create a
fun and productive class
Class Rules
1. Come to class ready to learn.
2. Follow directions quickly.

your seat.

pass MUST sign the late log.
 1st time: warning
 2nd time: lunch detention
 3rd time: lunch detention and parent contact

sign out every time you leave the room, even just
to get a drink of water.

GT, or for any other reason.
Card System
In addition to school policies, the following procedure allows for
class to proceed with minimal disruptions.
 1st warning  Verbal reminder to stop behavior
 2nd warning Yellow card: Talk to Monsieur/Señor after class
 3rd warning  Red card: Lunch detention, parent contact
Card system part 2
 Any cards placed on your desk will remain on your desk
and need to be turned in at the end of the period.
 Remember: in some cases, if you do
something really bad, you can get a red card
without getting a yellow card first!
Listen to Mr. Sherrow the first
time every time!
I pity the fool who
doesn’t hand in his/her
yellow card at the end
of the period!

“Game Time”
 AKA everyone’s favorite part of class
 Every day you can earn minutes for good behavior or
performance.
 There are many ways to earn game time:
✭Leftover time from “Question du
jour ”/ “Pregunta del día”
✭Everyone comes to class on time
✭Everyone does homework
✭Hurry up bonuses
✭Responding to “Donne-moi
Cinq”/ “Dame Cinco” quickly
✭Good behavior, especially with a
substitute
✭Speaking French/Spanish
✭No yellow cards received
✭Participation in speaking
activities
 On Fridays, the class plays a game for the amount of game time!
There’s no limit to how much time you can earn!
“Game Time” (continued)
 Any game time earned can also be lost. Examples of way to
lose game time:
 Not following the rules
 Talking and being disruptive
 Talking during ”Éponge”
 Being too loud during classwork
 Not responding to “Donne-Moi Cinq”
 Using extra time for “Question du jour”
Homework
 You’ll never have homework.
 Don’t bother doing homework, it doesn’t
matter anyway.
 It’s only worth 10% of your grade.
 You might as well just play video games
instead.
BAZINGA!
Homework
 I don’t give homework all the time. When I do, it is
because it is purposeful and will help you practice in
order to be prepared for class the next day.
 You are expected to study vocabulary
on any night that you do not have
written homework.
 NO LATE HOMEWORK WILL BE ACCEPTED!
I have informed you thusly.
Honesty
 Projects and other work for French class are to be completed by
you and only you. Do not use your older sibling as a dictionary
for words that you do not know.
 Dictionary vs. Translator:
 You use a dictionary to look up individual words. Example:
wordreference.com
 You use a translator to look up sentences. Example: Google
Translate
 YOU MAY ABSOLUTELY NOT USE AN ONLINE
TRANSLATOR. Translated work is considered
plagiarized and will receive a score of zero.
 You will learn how to use a dictionary in class and may
use it as specified.
Absent?
 Check the folder on the side blackboard for
work that you missed.
 Check with a classmate if you don’t
understand.
 See Monsieur if you have questions or to
schedule a missed quiz.
Tour of Classroom
 Late log & sign out sheets
 Homework board
 In and out boxes
 Absent board
 Finished Early
Beginning of Class
 Finish your conversation before you enter the room.
 Enter the room without talking and go straight to your
seat.
 Take out last night’s homework and write down tonight’s
homework.
 Open your notebook and complete “Éponge”/”Esponja”
without assistance from your neighbors. You have 3
minutes from when the bell rings to complete the activity.
 When Monsieur greets the class, respond in
French/Spanish.
 Example: “Buenos días Señor”/ “Bonjour, Monsieur”
End of class procedures
 DO NOT LEAVE when the bell rings.
 You need to be seated and quiet.
 Mr. Sherrow will give you a thumbs up to let
you know that you can leave.
Question du jour/Pregunta del día
 All students sit on desk SILENTLY
 When the ball is passed to you, answer the
question
 Pass the ball to someone else and then sit down in
your chair
 If everyone answers the question within the time
limit, the class earns the time left for game time.
YAY!
 But, if there is an interruption, we start all over.
“Deux lignes”/ “Dos Líneas”
 When Monsieur says “Deux Lignes” / “Dos Líneas”…
 Find a partner
 Stand in the front of the room facing your partner
 Pairs will form 2 lines across the front of the room
 If you have an odd number, the extra person stands on the
end of one of the lines
 Do all of the above QUICKLY and QUIETLY!
