Course Description Level 2: The central theme of French II is building onto the

_______ and _________ base learned in Level 1. Students will learn new French vocabulary and grammar, along with practicing pronunciation, to facilitate communicating in French via written and oral expression. We will be reading and writing short stories and doing listening activities in French as well.


*Materials* All students will need a 3-ring binder, 3 divider tabs (handouts,

notes/classwork, returned work), plenty of loose leaf paper, a pen or pencil, and a dry erase marker. Bring each of these items to class EVERYDAY. *If a student has a mobile device to get onto the internet, take notes/photos, etc. they are encouraged to bring it to class everyday but it must be placed in the designated “parking spot” on their desk when not in use. Use is up to teacher discretion and if it is abused, permission will be taken away on a per student basis.

**Materials will be checked for a grade on Wednesday & Thursday September 4th & 5th.**

***Being unprepared 3 times will result in a one hour detention. If you forget your supplies for class, you can ask a peer to borrow them OR borrow them from me for the day***~Textbooks will stay in the classroom. You may take a textbook home, but you have to sign it out. Any damaged or unreturned copies will result in a $68 fine.


Student Expectations 1. Be on time and be prepared with your notebook, homework, writing utensils,

etc.2. Be open-minded about learning a foreign language. Participation and practice are important for your growth and development. I just ask you to TRY all of our activities. 3. Show respect for your peers as well as myself. Keep in mind that we are ALL learning! No one is perfect, and any forms of intolerance and disrespect are NOT acceptable.4. Come talk to me before or after class, or email me, if you’re having trouble or falling behind. I’m here to help you! I’m available after school everyday until 2:50.5. Review the Code of Conduct that you signed (also on the school website) for school rules and consequences to become familiar with it. I follow all the school rules. 6. Stay on task. You should only be working on the assigned work. If you finish early, you may QUIETLY work on something else on your own. Excessive talking and/or sleeping are unacceptable! (Students falling asleep in class will be required to stand for 5 minutes)

7. Be responsible. I am permitting use of ipods, cell phones, tablets, etc. in my classes with an expectation that you’ll stay on task, do the work, and not TEXT or do anything inappropriate (such as take videos or pictures of people without their permission or visit inappropriate websites, etc.). I CAN and WILL take away this opportunity if you violate the rules. Be ready to show me what is on your device whenever I ask.

Other Class Information ~We will be using cell phones or other mobile devices in class. If you do not have one, or do not

wish to use one, you can use my classroom computers or paper and a pen/pencil. Some assignments will be REQUIRED to be done online so you can use the library or school computers after hours or during SSR if you don’t have access at home. NO INTERNET ACCESS AT HOME IS NOT AN EXCUSE FOR NOT HAVING AN ASSIGNMENT COMPLETED! Students will be required to keep their devices on SILENT, face down, in their “parking spaces” on their desk when we are not actively using them during the lesson. Failure to follow the rules will result in losing the privilege of using your devices in class.

~When I am absent, the work for that class period will ALWAYS be graded. Students are

responsible for doing the work, placing the work in the correct turn-in bin, and respecting the substitute and classroom rules.

~Online translators are NOT to be used. I will teach you how to use wordreference.com to

translate single words (it’s a wonderful resource! It even pronounces the words for you!). Any work handed in that used an online translator (it is very obvious and is a form of cheating) will receive a 0.

~My class has a 1 in 1 out policy. Students that need to leave the room will ask for permission IN

FRENCH and will be granted permission at my discretion. Be sure to sign out on the sign-out sheet by the door, or else lose the privilege to leave the classroom. (Students making habitual exits will lose the privilege to leave the classroom at all)

~I often take videos or pictures of different activities we do in class. These photos and videos are ONLY used for educational/classroom purposes and only posted on the classroom website. They are NOT shared on youtube, etc.

~We do a lot of different activities in class such as singing, dancing, playing games, acting out role

plays, puppet shows, etc. Each student is required to TRY the activities. Doing a variety of activities helps reinforce the vocabulary in different ways.


Useful Websites and Apps for Class Blackboard : You can access this website from Smyrna High School’s website under “students”, or

on my page which you’ll find through the “Staff Directory” (go to “links” on my page). This is the main class website where you’ll find assignments, resources, and daily powerpoints. There is also an app for your device (blackboard learn). Refer to this every day…this is required!

Quizlet: You can access this on the web (www.quizlet.com) or you can get the app for Ipads and Iphones (there are apps for Android that will import the quizlet sets too). We’ll be using this site in class and it will have ALL of your vocabulary words already in flashcard form. My “class” is “Français avec Mme Quinlan”. Join it for access to all the vocab flashcards. This is required so refer to this often to help you study!

Evernote: You can access this online (www.evernote.com), and you can download the app to your device or home computer. This program/website is required by me if you plan on taking class notes on your device. You will create a French “notebook” in here and all of your class notes and entries will be filed in this “notebook”. This includes pictures of vocab, audio, typed notes, etc. You are allowed 60MB of data FREE each month. It is a WONDERFUL resource!

Word Reference: (required)This website is the best dictionary out there. You can access it on the web (www.wordreference.com) and use it for any language. It gives you several translations of words, the part of speech, if it’s masculine or feminine, and it will even pronounce it for you! I also have a link for it set up on my blackboard site.

Twittercast: This is an optional app you can use to organize your twitter account. We’ll be using twitter in class so on this app you can make lists to help organize the things you are following.

Sky Drive: This is an optional resource if you don’t have Microsoft Office programs (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, etc.) at home. You can create and save files here and access them anywhere you can reach the internet. Similar to googledocs. You just have to sign up, and it’s free (search google for “skydrive”).

Other infoOther info

I take attendance right at the beginning of class..if you’re not in my room when the bell rings, you will get marked absent. Leaving your bags/books in my room does NOT count as you being in my room.◦ 3 tardies= 1 absence◦ 6 tardies= ISS + another absence

What other students said…What other students said…

Come to school & pay attention. Make sure you do your work and actually study for stuff, don’t

fail! No matter what people tell you, learning a new language is hard.

In this class there is A LOT of vocabulary that you have to remember. Also a lot of new tenses. But if you do the work it can be pretty fun.

Mme. Quinlan is crazy! She expects work to be done on time, NO EXCUSES. Also, she makes us copy pages of notes. French 3 is hard, if you aren’t productive, then don’t do Quinlan’s class.

Study a lot ! Do homework and projects or you will fail. Do not fall asleep, talk back or be rude because her horns come out and she will come after you.

You better listen to this woman. She doesn’t play. You need to make sure you do your work & pay attention or you will be going for one bumpy ride for this school year. Have fun, and pay attention.

She’s awesome. Nicer than a lot of others. Her class is very easy and fun just pay attention and study.


She is a very nice teacher as long as you show respect. She is very understanding and is always available to help. As long, as you are kind to her and follow her rules. If you sleep, don’t do warm ups, or are texting, she will get frustrated with you. She doesn’t ask for much, and barely gives homework. So be nice and you’ll love this class!

This class is the kind of class which if you fail it is no ones fault but yours. Nothing about this class is hard unless you have a bad attitude. Don’t be disrespectful and immature. Don’t fool around and just get the work done.

Mme Q is nice unless you don’t do your work. If your work gets done, it’s an easy class.

French 2 is amazing, Mme Quinlan is awesome, but don’t sleep in her class! She is pregnant, and will use that as an advantage. The food section is my favorite; you get to bring food in. The class may seem brutal in the beginning but you’ll def. get used to it. Yes, even the fact that she’s speaking lots of French. Good luck and have fun. (Don’t abuse the fun!)

If you’re lazy, drop this class before you read anymore! Mme Quinlan makes you do your work, A LOT OF WORK! But i have always felt like I could go to her for help, even if it wasn’t about French. She does a lot of different activities and she makes you move a lot. Again, if you’re lazy, get out!!!!! Your grade is a complete reflection of YOUR work! Mme Quinlan is fair and does everything she can for you so PLEASE be kind to her as she is to you. GOOD LUCK

She will hound you to do your work. If you are parasseux (lazy) don’t take this class. You wont make it out alive.

Good luck in French! You definitely need to take all the notes. This class really was fun but the work is hard. And make sure you have all the materials. I lost my marker after 3 months and was beat all year.
