CNED nouveau programme

[CleoQc]

The CNED has a new program this year for its elementary school (from CP to CM2).
Most of the exercises are now online, if you register your child. The paid program is now different than the one available for free at http://www.academie-en-ligne.fr

Just to let the French speakers know.

Thanks. We are using the online version this year, but we're at the college level (sorry don't know how to do accents on my laptop) - 6e.

Do you know if they will be changing the college level soon?

I didn't hear of it, but neither did I hear of this change either.
Btw, my son is also at collège, now in 4ième.

I'm not sure how the levels correspond to our schools here. Approx what level would a child who has been in a french immersion program since preschool and currently entering grade want to look at?

My french is a little tired and I'm struggling on the site.

Currently entering grade what?

Generally speaking, CP = 1st grade
CE1 = 2nd
CE2 = 3rd
CM1 = 4th
CM2 = 5th or 6th grade depending on whom you ask

6ieme = 7th
5ieme = 8th
4ieme = 9th
3ieme = 10th
2ieme = 11th
1ere = 12th

Oops, missed a number. She is entering grade 8 as an immersion student.

[CleoQc]

Not having many details, I would suggest putting her in 6ieme.
It's the first year of what they call 'collège', so she would be at the beginning of a cycle. 6ieme covers medieval literature, if I remember correctly. No, that was 5ieme. Anyway, they study literature according to a timeline. So by starting with 6ieme, she would be at the beginning of the literature cycle.

Or even better, you could go here:
http://www.academie-en-ligne.fr/Matieres.aspx?MATIERE=Français
and have her take a look, and see what she can do and can't do.

We are doing 6e. It covers ancient history. We went from CM2 as 5th grade to 6e as 6th grade.

[CleoQc]

indeed, 6ieme is ancient history, 5ieme is medieval ages, 4th seems to be everything up to the French revolution and I haven't seen 3rd yet, but I can guess what it's about..

[Chez J]

They revamped the college level. Just logged on to print out the next sequence, and it's different. Different web address too.

[CleoQc]

My son is doing Collège officially, and his program has not been revamped. What's your new address? I'm curious

Maybe it's this. If you scroll at the bottom of the new pages, you'll see "clique ici pour consulter la séquence du cours". That will bring you to the complete lesson, and those haven't changed.

http://www.academie-en-ligne.fr/default.aspx

It says "Bienvenue sur la nouvelle version d’Académie en ligne." My old link stopped working. You are right about finding the lessons at the bottom. I haven't compared page to page on past pages, though.

[Chez J]

It looks like the whole year has been changed. Cleo, did you happen to save to a file like a .pdf the 6e from last year?

[CleoQc]

I don't think I do. I have a few subjects from 5ieme, but not from 6ieme.

I haven't heard or seen anywhere that the collège classes were revamped. News to me!

ETA: I've checked a file I had here (5ieme, français, séquence 7) against the one online. Apart from very few cosmetic changes, they are identical. Even the carriage returns are at the same places.

[Chez J]

They must be working up the grades.

In 6e, it looks to all be changed. Sequence 1 in Francais started out with Babylon and Sargon for the one I had. It now has changed so that sequence 1 starts with Homer.

[CleoQc]

It dawned on my yesterday night. Of course they changed the programs... They removed the need for an 'official' school book that we had to buy in extra. At the very least, the French program has been rewritten.

I noticed this for histoire-geographie....I think they start changing from the bottom up so that there aren't holes...

Eg in the 6e histoire now, they cover Han China and l'empire chretienne au moyen age and less of other ancient history. So then the 5e histoire will start in after that. Before all moyen age was covered in 5e...

My son is in 4ieme, and he has the new program, at least for French, because I didn't need to buy a textbook. Everything is now included in the CNED cahiers.
So 4ieme has been revamped too. And to be honest, it looks like it's dumbed down :(

[Joan in Geneva]

I was thinking that the private publishers follow the same schedule as CNED since the standards for what is covered each year seem to be nationalized...

So my histoire geographie experience might not be the same as the CNED. I note that the 6e Hachette new edition was published in 2009, the 5e new edition in 2010 and the 4e and 3e are still the older editions...The newer editions conform to the "Bulletin officiel special de l'Education nationale no 6 du Aug 2008". But I guess they do it all differently.

It would be handy to know when the program is going to change as then the teacher's guides for the older books go out of print and one is stuck buying the new guides at new prices....
