LDM: La Comparaison Culturelle

La Comparaison Culturelle

The graded assessments in GaVS' AP French course mirror the learning objectives and assessments of the AP French Language and Culture exam. The exam is divided into two sections that each count 50% of the exam grade. Section I is comprised of multiple-choice questions on print and audio texts and lasts about 95 minutes. Section II is free-response questions and this portion of the AP exam takes about 80 minutes.

Your first encounter with the free-response part of the exam in this course is going to be the cultural comparison.

The cultural comparison portion of the AP French exam assesses a student's ability to present information on a specific topic about his or her community and to compare his or her community to one or more francophone communities. The AP French exam assesses the student's ability to present on a specific topic and to draw comparisons.
