This lesson carried out during the passage of Unite 2 “Bonne rentree!” textbook “Blue Bird -6” by N.A. Selivanova and A.Yu. Shashurina. Students already have some knowledge on this topic (names school subjects, speech samples on the topic), therefore the main goal of the lesson is to automate existing knowledge and skills. Use of ICT and authentic material in the lesson - a video fragment about the beginning academic year in a French college - allows students to plunge into the atmosphere of this event in France, arouses interest, and allows them to compare what they see with how the first day of school goes in our country. It also helps develop the skill of perceiving “live” French speech by ear. The use of various cards in the lesson helps to differentiate the learning process in the lesson, to make all students active, regardless of their level of preparation.

13. Homework.

Currently, the school day that French children spend at school lasts almost as long as an adult's working day. But they have a lot of vacations and days off. French schoolchildren study for just 144 days a year - 40 days less than children in other European countries.
Two years ago, most schools in France switched from a five-day to a four-day school week. Now children go to school only on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Classes that were previously held on Saturdays were moved to the remaining days, and the load on each school day became even greater.
French children, unlike children in other European countries, have to get used to such a load with time. early age. From three to six years old they attend “maternelle” - a kindergarten with elements schooling. They spend the whole day there. This, on the one hand, made it possible to liberate the French woman: even with a small child, she can return to work. This is probably why France is the champion in fertility in Europe. But on the other hand, young children have difficulty adapting to being at school all day and get tired quickly.
Doctors and experts on biological rhythms advise changing the lives of schoolchildren: shortening vacations and introducing a five-day school week so that the load is distributed more evenly. Experts believe that overwork is dangerous for children's health and that it would be more productive to take advantage of certain periods during the day when, due to biorhythms, students are best tuned to perceive new information. Subjects that require increased concentration, such as mathematics or history, are advised to be taught in the morning, and the afternoon devoted to sports, music, gardening or theater.
According to Education Minister Luc Chatel, the long holidays for French schoolchildren are a tradition that dates back to the past, when peasant children did not go to school all summer, but instead helped their parents with harvest work.
Here's what Luc Chatel said about the start of a national discussion that will result in a restructuring of the school curriculum:
“We will discuss everything. We will talk about the daily schedule of schoolchildren, as well as the problem of overload: since school days there is not so much in a year, the load on each individual day is too great. Schoolchildren come to school early in the morning, they have a short lunch break, so they are very tired. We will discuss options for organizing the school week - four days, four and a half days, five days - we will touch on all subjects, without any taboos. And, of course, we will discuss the distribution of school days throughout the calendar year. So I won't go into this national discussion with any specific changes in mind. No, first we will ask all the necessary questions, see how things are abroad, consult with biorhythm specialists and representatives of private companies, and also listen to teachers and parents of students.”
The upcoming changes to the schedule, which will come into force only starting in 2013, will affect not only children's holidays, but also their parents' holidays. Changes in the duration and timing of holidays will, in turn, have an impact on the entire tourism industry.

Our lesson today will be of interest to those who want to create their own regime or daily routine for French.

We'll introduce you to the vocabulary you need and how to talk about your day in French. If you are ready, then we begin!

In addition, there are private schools that work under a contract with the state, i.e. obliged to adhere to official curricula and programs of the French Ministry of Education, as well as providing training according to their own programs.

Additional information about private education in France on our page .

Primary education

The initial stage of education includes kindergarten ( école maternelle ) and primary school ( Ecole elementaire ).
The kindergarten accepts children aged 3 to 6 years (under certain conditions, children from 2.5 years old can be accepted). Program kindergarten is not mandatory.

To enter these prestigious universities, applicants work hard for two years to preparatory courses (Classes Preparatoires ).

Academic year
The academic year begins in early September, the start date of classes depends on the region (moreover, private schools themselves set the “First of September”) and ends in July, when the school closes for long periods. summer holidays. By tradition, many primary schools in France they do not work on Wednesdays - it is believed that study hours are compensated by morning classes on Saturdays. Beginning in September 2008, Saturday morning classes were canceled for kindergartens ( école maternelle ) and younger children school age (Ecole elementaire ).

The school week is 24 hours long. Some schools prefer a 4-day school week with 6 hours of classes on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, while others use a five-day school week (Monday to Friday).

Lunch break times vary from school to school, but are typically between one and a half to two hours. Children can either stay at school and eat in the cafeteria, or go home for lunch. Prices in school canteens also vary from school to school and depend on the local municipality subsidizing school meals. In some kindergartens ( école maternelle ) children of non-working parents are not allowed to eat in the kindergarten cafeteria - to issue such a permit, the local mayor's office requires confirmation that both parents work (salary slip or employment contract).

School traditions

Beginning of the school year(La Rentrée )
At the end of the school year in June class teacher gives parents a list school supplies necessary for the child for the next school year. Towards the end of July and into August, French supermarkets put on sale a wide selection of school stationery, school bags and other essentials for the start of the school year ( La Rentrée ). At local bookstores ( papeterie ) you can also find everything you need, including diaries for recording homework ( cahier de texte ). Low-income families with more than one child, a special allowance is allocated in August for the purchase of school supplies ( aide à la rentrée scolaire ) from a social assistance organization ( CAF ). If a household files an income tax return for the previous year and the income is below the minimum level (barème), this benefit is sent automatically to the family's address.

Progress report
Every quarter French kindergartens ( maternelle ) and primary schools ( Ecole elementaire ) send parents a special report card with a report on the child’s progress. To confirm that they have read the report, parents must sign the report card and return it to the school, where it is kept until the end of the next quarter.

According to fairly common practice (with very few exceptions), parents of middle school students ( college ) also receive a progress report every quarter. The report provides detailed information not only about the child's performance, but also about the performance of the entire class, including average grades for the class ( moyen ) for each subject, the behavior of a particular child and the entire class. Grades are given on a 20-point scale, the system also provides warnings for poor academic performance or behavior and rewards for good results (felicitations ) for schoolchildren whose grades exceed 15 points out of 20. As a rule, the average passing score is set at 10-11 points.

Celebrating the end of the school year (Kermesse)
At the end of the school year, a traditional school-wide celebration is held with raffles, souvenirs, sweets stalls and other entertainment for children and parents. Kermesse varies greatly from school to school and can include games, competitions, plays and a shared lunch for children with parents and teachers.

(inspecteur d'académie) and, at least once every two years, a representative from the mayor's office. In the case of two negative reviews from inspectors, parents are obliged to send their child to school. In case of a change of address, an application for home education must be submitted to the mayor's office at the place of residence within 8 days after moving.

There are various methods for homeschooling children, such as: distance learning or the Montessori method. In any case, the law requires that the level of knowledge of homeschooled children correspond to the standard general education level of high school, namely:

• Good level of written and spoken French
• French literature
• Basics of mathematics
• One foreign language
• Fundamentals of Science and Technology
• Basic history and geography of France, Europe and the rest of the world

La journée d'un étudiant

A typical day for a student

Chaque jour je me réveille de bonne heure. Je me lève, je fais de la gymnastique et je vais dans la salle de bain où je me lave à l’eau froide. Je me brosse les dents avec une brosse à dents et de la pâte dentifrice. Je fais vite ma toilette. Ensuite, je reviens dans ma chambre, je m'habille: je mets mes souliers, ma chemise, le veston, le pantalon et je me peigne devant la glace. Maintenant je suis prêt.

Il est temps de déjeuner. A mon petit déjeuner, je prends du café au lait, je mange du pain beurré avec du saucisson, du fromage. Je mange parfois des oeufs et de la crème. Je consulte ma montre. Il est sept heures moins cinq. Il faut me dépêcher pour arriver à temps à l’université. Pour aller à l'université, je prends le trolleybus. Parfois, je vais à l’institut à pied. A huit heures moins le quart je suis déjà à l’université. Je viens à temps.

Je suis étudiant à la faculté de pédagogie. Je suis en première année. Après avoir reçu mon brevet d’études secondaires, je suis entré à l’institut pédagogique de notre ville et j’y poursuis mes études. J'aime beaucoup les enfants, c'est pourquoi j'ai choisi la profession d'instituteur.

A l'université je suivis les cours d'histoire, de philosophie, de psychologie, de pédagogie. Pendant les cours je prends des notes. Entre les courses il y a des pauses. J'en profite pour aller au buffet et y casser la croûte. Après les cours je me repose un peu et je vais au restaurant universitaire. Dans notre restaurant, c’est le self-service. Il n'y pas de serveuses. On choisit les plats, puis on paye à la caisse. Les repas sont bon marché. Nous prenons d'habitude comme hors-d'oeuvre du hareng ou une salade, comme premier plat-une soupe ou une soupe aux choux, comme second plat, une côtelette ou du poisson. Et comme dessert nous prenons du café.

Après les cours je m'occupe du travail social, je suis le responsable de notre groupe. Ensuite je vais travailler avec mon ami Serge dans la salle de lecture qui se trouve près de la bibliothèque de l’université. Nous avons là à notre disposition tous les manuels, journaux, revues, livres, dictionnaires dont nous pouvons avoir besoin. Les devoirs finis, nous sortons pour faire un tour. Nous rentrons à 7 heures du soir. Chez moi, je regarde à la télé les émissions politiques ou parfois un film. Je me couche à 11 heures du soir.

Translation

Every day I wake up early. I get up, do some exercises and go to the bathroom, where I wash myself in cold water. I brush my teeth with a toothbrush and toothpaste. I quickly do my toilet. Then, I go back to my room, I get dressed: I put on my shoes, put on my shirt, jacket, trousers and I brush my hair in front of the mirror. Now I'm ready.

It's time to have breakfast. For breakfast, I drink coffee with milk, I eat bread and butter with sausage and cheese. I sometimes eat eggs and cream. I look at my watch. It's five to seven. We need to hurry up to get to the university on time. I go to the university by trolleybus. Sometimes I go to college on foot. At eight o'clock at a quarter I'm already at the university. I'm on time.

I am a student of the Faculty of Education. I'm in my first year. Having received my certificate of secondary education, I entered the pedagogical institute of our city and continue to study there. I love children very much, that's why I chose the profession of a teacher.

At the university I give lectures on history, philosophy, psychology, pedagogy. During classes/lessons I take notes. There are breaks between classes. I take the opportunity and go to the buffet to have a snack. After classes, I rest a little and go to the university canteen. Our student cafe is self-service. There are no waitresses. We choose dishes, then pay at the cash register. Lunches are cheap. We usually take herring or salad for an appetizer, soup or cabbage soup as a first course, and chop or fish for a second course. And coffee for dessert.

After class I study social work, I am the responsible person of our group. Then I work with my friend Sergey in reading room, which is located near the university library. There we have at our disposal all the textbooks, newspapers, magazines, books, dictionaries that we need. Having done our homework, we go for a walk. We return at 7 o'clock. At home I watch political programs on TV or sometimes a film. I go to bed at 11 o'clock.
