Modeles de rendement langagier: Francais, 10e annee. Francais langue premiere (Models of Linguistic Production: French, 10th Grade. French as a Native Language).

Aligned with its 1998 standards for first- and second-language learning, Alberta Learning has published lesson plans that aim for a closer relationship between learning and evaluation. Each volume in this series presents a specific task for students that involves planning, carrying out, and evaluating their work. The task for tenth grade students who are native speakers of French is to read and respond to an excerpt from the play "Florence," by Marcel Dube. The guidebook has four parts: a Teacher's Guide, a Student Notebook, Examples of Student Work, and Pedagogic Notes. The Teacher's Guide introduces the objectives for the project in terms of the reading process and the content of the lesson, specific guidelines for introducing and directing the project, and grading criteria. The Student Notebook includes directions for the project, the excerpt to be read, and questions for comprehension and reflection. The third section presents examples of students' notes and answers to the questions followed by an evaluation of their responses. Finally, the Pedagogic Notes include goals and principles for the teacher to keep in mind throughout the project, and notes on how to evaluate the students' reading and writing process using the Examples of Student Work.
