There are still plenty of extracurricular French activities remaining this semester for your 20-point homework assignment.

Easy how-to:

1. Check out the schedule and choose an activity.

2. Print out the reflective essay form and bring it with you to the activity.

3. Participate in your chosen activity with a curious mind and think about how it challenges you, what new things you learn, who you meet and what you learn from or with them, how it compares to your expectations going in, what you like or don't like about it and why, and what you ultimately take away from the experience.

4. At the end of the activity, get the leader's signature on your activity form. (This is why you have to print it out ahead of time and bring it with you!) For IU Cinema events, attach your ticket stub.

5. *Within a week* of attending the activity, write your reflective essay and hand it in to your instructor. Absolute deadline is Monday, April 25!

What this essay IS:

• a semi-formal composition that includes an introduction and a conclusion, with clearly developed main points and supporting details
• a *brief* summary of what the activity entailed
• a thoughtful and original reflection on your experience participating in a French language or cultural activity

What this essay is NOT:

• a detailed synopsis of a movie plot
• a disorganized and clichéd ramble of what you think your instructor wants to hear
• a waste of time :-)

What to do if you legitimately cannot attend a single one of these activities:

1. Provide verifiable documentation of every conflict to your instructor *no later than April 1.*

2. Email both your instructor AND the course supervisor *no later than April 1* to notify them that you have a legitimate, documented conflict so that alternative arrangements can be made.
