**Text: //Liberté//**
You may either download it and print it yourself or pay $22 to have a bound copy sent to you. We will be using **chapters 7 through 11 this year.** [] You also need your digital voice recorder.

**Expectations:**

 * 1) Use your dictionary (we'll practice how to do that effectively together until you get the hang of it) or WordReference.com.
 * 2) **NO TRANSLATORS!**
 * 3) Speak only FRENCH in class. (If you can't think of something to say, then you should be quiet and let someone else jump in.)
 * 4) Do your work on time. Late work is penalized according to school policy.
 * 5) Come see me WHENEVER you have a question or problem. Email works too: //elizabeth.vitanza@marlboroughschool.org.// (I generally don't check school email after 6pm, so don't wait until the night before an assignment.)
 * 6) Put your name on your voice recorder. Leave it with me for safekeeping in between assignments if you prefer.


 * Rules:**
 * 1) Be on time with all materials needed. If you're coming from far away, **don't interrupt the class to let us know**. Just come in and sit down and you can explain at the end of class.
 * 2) Please don't interrupt your classmates or me while we're speaking.
 * 3) Keep story-sharing to a minimum. We've got a lot to cover--try to channel your enthusiasm in that direction.
 * 4) Speak French in class: Focus on what you DO know rather than what you DON'T in order to communicate.
 * 5) You NEVER have to ask permission to use the bathroom. Just get up and go.

PowerPoint or KeyNote presentations are assigned from time to time. YOU are responsible for working out ALL technical difficulties BEFORE the actual presentation.
 * Miscellaneous:**
 * KeyNote will NOT work on Marlborough's classroom computers.
