im hoping for a grade 2/3 it would be good to get a credit but that will be hard work.i dont think i have a strenght because i can't do anything in french. i could develope on the things we should know it early years because that holds me back. no i dont want to continue with french because i don't like the subject. i liked the film reveiw because we got to watch a film.i didn't like the school and home area. xx

[Chainey-Lee McLaren]

I am hoping to achive a 3-2 grade in french as i dont think im progressing enough for a higher grade at the moment.
Im not too sure on my areas of strength but i would like to improve on my writing and writing content. I dont think i would like to carry on with french next year.
In the short time i have been here i enjoyed the speed dating task and i love doing computer work, i find it easier to learn. I also enjoyed doing the problem page task.
I didnt find the enviroment work very easy or interessting to be honset its the topic i least enjoyed.

[Ananda]

1 - I am hoping to achieve credit level. But my main problem is with the writing/speaking course work assements so i'm not too sure.
2 - I don't know.
3 - I think I definatly need to improve on my pronounciation and listening skills.
4 - I'm considering doing french next year, it depends how I get on for the remainder of the course.
5 - I enjoyed doing the film assesment and I though 'Le dinner de cons' was a good film to do it on. It was challenging but I thought it was quite fun.

[Hannah McCook]

I am hoping for a grade 2 definatly credit! My areas of strengths are remembering the paragraphs! I need to improve my listening and when i am writing in different tenses and using different verbs. I dont think i want to continue with French next year. I really enjoyed the Kroo Bay Project but i was gutted i was not in the photo that you sent away. I also enjoyed watching the film and then writing about it.

[Learning and Teaching Scotland]

Lucinda - I think you will get a 2 and could get a 1. Your French accent has developed greatly as you ask questions and our read aloud nicely - you are right. You confidence has improved massively. Keep up the good work.

[Bethan]

1. I am hoping to achieve a 3 or 2 in French SG

2. On of my strengths i think, is memorizing.

3. Areas for development are Tenses.

4. I would not like to continue french next year

5. Working with the kroo bay website, i found it was very interesting to see how other people lived their lives.

6. I least enjoyed doing the home area topic as there was nothing to mention about the area. Also i havnt enjoyed doing the speaking assessment.

P.s : 6 - What I enjoyed least was the environment I didn't think it was very useful and i thought it was quite hard.

[Learning and Teaching Scotland]

Daniel - You should get a General if you continue to work as hard as you are working at the moment. I have noticed a big difference in these past few weeks. You write well when you keep it simple and have a nice accent.

[eilidh]

1.i am hoping to get a 2 or a 3 at standard grade
2.my areas of strength are memorizing the written assessment paragraphs and writing them
3.my areas for develpoment are reading and writing skills
4.i would not like to carry on doing french next year
5.i liked looking at human rights in kroo bay because it was different and we compared our lifes to theirs by making a poster
6.i didnt like looking at the environment or home area because they were a bit boring and there was loads of vocab to learn

[Learning and Teaching Scotland]

Charles - you shoudl get a 1. You'vre worked really hard and are already showing the capability of Higher. I am glad you are thinking of continuing next year. You would do well. Your pronunication has improved greatly as you have focused on it. Your writing is very advanced for your level. Thanks for your thoughts about the topics you have enjoyed / not enjoyed. I will take this into consideration when I next plan work. Well done.

[Learning and Teaching Scotland]

Emma You're working well - I know you don't always find it easy. I think it would realyl help you if you make a list of all the key words and phrases that you use all the time eg. has / it is. You forget these and it would be good to have a reminder. plus yous till need to learn how to simplify your English when writing in french. Keep up the efoort - I know you put a lot of effort in and are trying hard.

[Learning and Teaching Scotland]

Jamie - when you put in the effort you work well and produce work of a high quality. Unfortunately you don't focus enough and your level of French is often below your potential, particularly in writing. Nice speaking as always. You'll have to put in a lot more effort into writing, and accuracy in reading and listening if you want a credit.

[Learning and Teaching Scotland]

Kelly - good to hear you are thinking about French next year. You've worked hard over the last 2 years and come a long way. To help write long pieces of work make sure you always add in lots of detail. Keep it up.You should get a 2.

[Learning and Teaching Scotland]

Chainey - thanks for your honesty about the topics. I think you have made good progress since you have been here and I am impressed at your level of French. You seem to be more focused and interested. Keep it up and you should get a 2 with some revision.

[Learning and Teaching Scotland]

Anne - you should get a 1. To help you with your speaking try to note pronunication down and don't be set back when you are corrected. You would do very well at Higher next year and already show Higher capability in your work. Well done.

[Learning and Teaching Scotland]

Ananda - you are doing fine with the courswork elements - no need to worry there. You would do well at french next year and show good linguistic understanding. You are working hard and progressing really well. You should get a 1.

[Learning and Teaching Scotland]

Hannah - sorry you weren't in the photo. Maybe you were off that day? You should get a 2, but your work does vary greatly in quality depending on how much time and effort you put into it. When writing please try to write simply and follow what we have done in class / what you know.

[Learning and Teaching Scotland]

Bethan - sorry you don't enjoy the speaking assessments. I think your speaking has developed well though. You are putting in a lot of effort and working well. Just keep it up. You should get a 2.

[Learning and Teaching Scotland]

Eilidh - you are working well and making much better progress than last year. Sorry you didn't enjoy the topics with lots of vocab to learn but that's how you improve! You should get a 2. Just keep up the good work.
