Introduction The Official Minority Language Office is pleased to provide you with Core French: A Resource List Update for Grades 1 to 12, a list of resources recommended for the teaching of Core French at the elementary, middle and secondary levels. These annotated titles are not mandatory nor do they represent the entirety of resources available. Generally, the citations give specific information regarding how the document best supports the Core French program. Suggestions are given as to the best possible uses of the document, whether for student use or teacher reference. In addition, please make reference to the Curriculum Distribution Services catalogue for obtaining Saskatchewan Learning documents such as this present publication at: http://www.sasklearning.gov.sk.ca/branches/ curr/curriculum_distribution_service/index.shtml

Identification of Resources The identification of quality resources to support the objectives of the curriculum guides is critical in maintaining effective actualization of Core French curricula. The system of evaluation has been designed to ensure that educators who know the curricula will evaluate the material to verify that it meets the needs of teaching Core French in Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan Learning defines a resource as any work that proposes activities or that shows, explains or illustrates notions to be used in teaching.

How to Use This Resource List The resources included in this list are grouped alphabetically by title under the headings: General Resources and Middle Level Programs. Bibliographical information, followed by an annotation, selected Fields of Experience as well as Suggested Use accompany each title.

Titles and Descriptions An example of a print annotation follows: Barron's French Vocabulary. Second Ed. (Dictionary). Kendris, Christopher. Georgetown: Barron's Education Series (BAR), 2002. 296 p. ISBN 0-7641-1999-0 ($9.95). Barron’s new edition, easy-to-use vocabulary handbook is categorized by subject and theme. French entries are written phonetically for easy pronunciation of the French words. It contains more than 7,000 words and expressions in more than 40 useful categories. It is designed for senior students and others who want to extend their knowledge of French vocabulary in any subject area. It does not provide context usage of words. It is also an excellent resource for teachers of French who may like assistance with French pronunciation. Fields of Experience: Divers Suggested Use: Teacher Professional Resource, Grades 1 to 12 Core French, Grades 5 to 12 The Suggested Use is provided to give an indication of the appropriate grade levels at which the resource may be used. However, these can be adjusted according to the knowledge and linguistic competencies of the students. The Suggested Use will also change according to how the work is used (motivation, group work, individual work, etc). In most cases, the Suggested Use spans several grade levels to better meet the individual needs of students as well as the needs of teachers.

Grade Level Index Titles are listed alphabetically under suggested grade level uses.

Criteria for Recommendation The inclusion of a resource as recommended material in this list indicates that it respects the following criteria: conforms to the requirements of the curriculum guides; respects proper language use; respects all religions and moral values; and respects the guidelines of Saskatchewan Learning in regard to the elimination of stereotypes and discrimination. Note: The selection of resources remains the responsibility of schools. Where relevant, the annotations contain cautions that are intended to alert teachers and teacher librarians to potentially controversial content within the selections. Each school should preview the documents mentioned in the resource update before selecting resources to ensure that they meet the needs of the school and the community. In order to do this, reference can be made to the school division policy on resource selection, as well as to the following Saskatchewan Learning documents: Diverse Voices: Selecting Equitable Resources for Indian and Métis Education; Learning Resource Centers in Saskatchewan: A Guide for Development; Resource-based Learning: Policy, Guidelines and Responsibilities for Saskatchewan Learning Resource Centers; and Selecting Fair and Equitable Materials.

These Saskatchewan Learning documents pertaining to print and audiovisual materials offer excellent suggestions concerning policy development and the selection of resources.

The distributors are indicated with an acronym in parentheses in each bibliographical notation.
