Curriculum 2010-11 [Classe de seconde, 1 heure par semaine, 10 semaines] .
DNL 2nde01: Basic arithmetic, with a self correcting activity.
DNL 2nde02: Functions as algorithms.
DNL 2nde03: Problem solving strategies, through group work that will result in an oral presentation and a written report. The grading scheme is included so the students know exactly what is expected from them.
If you have doubts about the pronunciation of some words, you can check at http://dictionary.reference.com/ Enter a word at the top, click on the microphone and the program will say the word for you. Your English teacher agreed to help you prepare the oral presentation.
DNL 2nde04: Functions, including rectangular coordinates, linear functions, quadratic function.
Graded homework on functions: If you have trouble doing the homework, you may want to watch the following videos: http://www.khanacademy.org/video/slope-of-a-line?playlist=Algebra%20I%20Worked%20Examples, http://www.khanacademy.org/video/equation-of-a-line?playlist=Algebra%20I%20Worked%20Examples and then http://www.khanacademy.org/video/point-slope-and-standard-form?playlist=Algebra%20I%20Worked%20Examples
Our schedule: Of course, with a grand total of 10 hours in “seconde”, we didn’t cover much! http://www.keepandshare.com/doc/2281563/progression-2nde-dnl-2010-2011-xls-october-5-2010-5-02-pm-27k?da=y

Reflection:
- What we would have done, had we had more time and access to the computer room (Dear students, that's a note for my colleagues who are looking for ideas): Write a program in Scratch. It can be a cartoon, a game, animated art...etc. Post it on the MIT website, with a short description. Present it to the class (a projector and a computer will be provided). Scratch is a free software that can be downloaded at http://scratch.mit.edu/. Learning programming through Scratch is fun so student will be using instructions, loops and variables in no time!
- What the English teacher could have done with the DNL sudents, had we had more time: Using as a basis the text about recognizing fallacies, look for fallacies in newspapers, articles and conversations around you.
