French 2 → French 4 Summer Work

nom : ________________________
French 2  French 4 Summer Work
In order to be able to be moved into French 4 next year, you are required to complete the following tasks over
the summer break. Everything in this packet is what we cover in French 3 and they are aligned to the themes in
AP so it will all help you prepare for AP French. There are essentially 9 units so limit yourself to one unit per
week (the Art and Musique ones shouldn’t take that long). This page, along with some PowerPoints and other
webpages links, will be on my webpage in the pages for each unit : http://gcps-deanneking.onmycalendar.com.
To help yourself keep up, please check the boxes to indicate that you have successfully finished the task.
