NSW French Years 7-10 (Stage 4, Year 8) - food and shopping, hobbies and sport, my town - expressed in Dux teaching language.
Dux tracks each dot point separately, so “I did French Year 8” becomes a list of specific things you can already do and specific things you have never been asked. Open a module for all of its dot points, written out.
Ordering, buying and describing food, with the partitive article and prices.
Talking about what you do for fun, with the verbs that take an infinitive and the weather.
Describing where things are and asking for directions, with the verbs of movement.
A French Year 8 paper is not one question type repeated. Each command word asks for a different shape of answer, and each is worth a different number of marks.
| Command word | Question type | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| apply | Short answer | 3–4 |
| compose | Short answer | 3–5 |
| compose | Extended response | 4–6 |
| identify | Multiple choice | 1 |
| translate | Short answer | 2–3 |
Year 8 Assessment Task Shape — 50 marks, 75 minutes. Practice papers in Dux are assembled to this shape rather than invented, so the timing is training too.
Diagnostic first, then questions written in the shape this course uses. Written answers come back marked against the bands, not just scored.
