    Re: Pacing for Discovering French Bleu
    Posted by: Madame Vence on 6/15/09

    We have been using DF for 4 years. We have a terrible schedule
    where we see students 3 days/week. We have 2 80-minute blocks
    and one 40 minute block per week. (Don't get me started!) I
    dream of having 50 minute classes again....but I digress.

    I find for Bleu I get through Lessons 1-15, and then skip ahead
    to a couple others to add more food vocab, clothing/shopping,
    and more that I can't think of right now. We NEVER get to do
    anything with the passe compose in level one and haven't since
    we swtiched to this schedule 5 years ago. So all in all I do
    about 18 lessons and that is skipping some things!

    We begin level 2/Blanc with a brief review and then dive into
    the P.C. right away. I don't teach level 2, so I'm not sure how
    far that teacher usually gets. Good luck.
