FREE Home School French 1 Curriculum

FRENCH 1 sCOPE AND SEQUENCE


**This is a secular curriculum.**
​
Our budget is limited, so I always try to find free resources when I plan our homeschool curriculum. Since I used to teach high school Spanish in public school, I decided to create my own scope-and-sequence for Spanish 1. I didn't write the individual lessons. I simply searched online and organized them below. Use what is useful to you and skip what is not. 

I suggest that your student keep a notebook or binder with notes and handout print outs. I recommend to make it a requirement to write notes for all video lessons. Recording grades will depend on your state homeschool laws, so please do your research. For my student, I will grade certain assignments as daily grades and some as test grades (like the projects, etc). You can find already-made quizzes on Quizlet, Google, or TeachersPayTeachers. 

​
Week 1 for our family starts the first full week of August. We also have scheduled weeks that we plan to take off throughout the school year. Make sure to adjust the “culture” section to your school calendar so that the holidays match the week that you are on. The culture videos on this schedule are based on our school calendar starting the 1st week of August and our scheduled weeks off.

 
I hope that this helps and blesses your family. Please leave comments if you have any questions, tips or suggestions!
