This is in relation to his French 12 Immersion class. Overall, there are many assignments that he assigns that are easy to receive A's on such as 4 vlogs, 3 Article Resume's/ Your own opinion, and 4 Articles that you write yourself. As long as you actually do these assignments with some detail, you should receive a good grade. As for the other big parts of your overall grade such as the Essays and Projects, grades can really differ. For the grammar compositions, just do the practice and know somewhat of what you're doing and you should be fine, especially since he lets you do corrections. For the essays, try to use original ideas. Something about this teacher is that he does not communicate what he is looking for in the essays and projects - like at all. Do not use the same ideas that he talks about in class, which is way easier said than done because the books he chooses that you have to write the essays on are extremely confusing. Like the books don't even make sense in English confusing. Try to search for youtube videos talking about the books or tweak an in-class idea a bit to make it original. Also, please do research prior to writing. He won't tell you this!!! but he won't give you an A if you're just following the criteria, answering the prompt, and giving your own ideas. In addition to all of that, you have to research the topic and connect it to the world. For example, he is fixated on philosophers and philosophy, so if you can google some before writing and then connect it, he will really like that.
(This relates to Bruxy's French 12 class) Usually people are intimidated by his way of teaching and assignments, but I did not find him bad at all for a French teacher. He teaches really well and is extremely entertaining. However, he does let you decide for you own what assignments to do and what to not (and obviously if you do not do them you fail the class). He puts a zero in for each assignment until you have personally sent him an email with the missing/late work. It felt like a university course that required a lot of independence. People are usually overwhelmed by his in class compositions by hand (based on French books we read in class), and especially the grammar compositions. However, if you know the content well, these can go by in a breeze. Pay attention in class, as these can be used in your writing in class (and also he may put you on the spot if he finds you are not paying attention). I would say he is the best French immersion teacher here at the school.
These points all relate to Bruxelle's French 10 class: -The book reflections and the verb tests are worth more than the other assignments. It is important you do well on these if you want an A. -Verb tests involve writing a short essay on a topic assigned the day of the test, with verbs from various tenses inserted into the essay a certain number of times. These are some of the hardest assignments in the class, I recommend you know what you're doing when the time for the test comes. -Part of the class involves reading and analyzing a French piece of fiction, most often a play (when I was in grade 10 we did the play Don Juan). Pay attention when the class as a whole discusses the play (even if it bores you), as Bruxelle may ask anyone he thinks is not paying attention to answer questions about the play.
