** I'm going to start counting your Duolingo progress on Monday of next week**

I would like you to set your daily goal at 10XP (Casual). Duolingo is homework Monday to Friday, and is worth 5% of your final grade. I will give you a mark /5 each week. This mark is based on both your commitment to completing 10XP everyday and your continued progress through the levels. (This means that you cannot just complete "Basics 1" everyday for homework.)  If you miss a day during the week, you can make it up on Saturday.

I will not be counting any Duolingo done on Sunday (but if you would like to keep up your 'streak' and make your green owl friend happy, you should continue!)

Here is the information on how to allow me to track your progress on Duolingo. Please only enrol yourself once you have handed in your permission form from your parent/guardian.

F.A.Q

Can I just do 50XP on Saturday instead of doing Duolingo everyday?
No. The idea is to practice your French skills everyday! If you miss a day during the week, you can make it up on Saturday.

What if I just do an extra 10XP the following day?
If you miss Monday, you cannot fix it by doing 20XP on Tuesday. You have to wait until Saturday to make up your missed day.

Can I do more than 10XP a day?
I recommend 10XP-20XP  a day because it is a manageable amount. Although Duolingo is like a game, it is not like a typical video game where you need to beat all of the levels all at once. Do not sit down and try to 'beat the game.' Languages are all about practice, doing a little each day will be more beneficial for your language acquisition in the long run.
