You need to narrow this down. What age/grade are you? What have you been reading for class?\nShakespeare?\n20th Century Plays?\nAmerican authors?\n\nNarrow it down some and you'll get better answers.

Well, if the project isn't due tomorrow or the next day and friend B's part is something that she can do in a short time then if I were you I would wait maybe a day to see how friend B acts. If B refuses to do her part then you and A could do it and maybe notify the teacher about how B didn't participate. If you don't want to do that then you could try to talk to B and work things out and remind her about her promice.

How can we help you if we know nothing about the teacher?  Would it help you to know why I liked my favorites?  OK:\n\nI had a history teacher in junior high who had us act out little scenarios from history, to make the whole thing seem real.  That was very good.  One of my math teachers used to give use wonderful little math puzzles, including some that were extremely funny, like those based on the works of Lewis Carroll.  My favorite French teacher gave us little gifts for spelling bees, and I won a package of five tiny (sample size) bottles of real French perfume!  My Latin teacher had us reading the "naughty bits" in the old bawdy Latin plays, but that was in college, and we were all very mature.\n\nGenerally, the teachers who put some creativity into the classroom, and who draw creativity out of their students, get the best ratings and teach the most.  But the other thing is the teacher to expects a lot, but plays fair.  My sixth grade teacher gave us lots of homework, and graded exams very uncompromisingly.  But she always answered the questions we had, and never played favorites.  She just imperiously assumed we all had the ability to learn, and would not accept laziness.  The lazy students hated her, but the ones who wanted to learn, learned a lot.  She was also very systematic, did the same pattern of exercises every day, so we always knew what to expect.  We had ten questions on the blackboard to write down in our notebook to answer in history and social studies; we had 20 vocabulary words in spelling, ten sentences to diagram in English . . . does anybody diagram sentences anymore?  Sometimes a very old-fashioned teacher is the one from whom you learn the most.  (Not "the one you learn the most from," because a preposition is a bad thing to end a sentence with!)

Go ahead and graduate.  I took a lot of classes that looked like fun and looked very interesting - none of them ended up being so.  Acting was basically group therapy, and the medical ethics course was WAY to religious for my taste.

Memorize the Solique in Act Three (I think its act three)\nCalled the "advice to actors speech." It is quite striking.\nAnd everyone is tired of to be or not to be....\nSpeak the speech I pray you as I pronounced it to you trippingly on the tounge.\nDo not mouth it as many of our players do and do not saw the air too much with your hands thus.!\netc... etc... Striking verbage. \nGod he could write!\nInteresting premise also ... A play within a play....\nI love that stuff... He was soooooo clever...

Try Michel Thomas CDs. French is a hard languge to learn, but these will make you start speaking straight away and give you confidence. Bon chance.

ok, tape one tree hill, work really fast on the project...and if it's about books, use sparknotes. also, you may want to try and calm down so you can get work done and concentrate.\n As for the music thing...maybe it excites you, so your heart beats faster, and it could activate your brain or something...sorry, i wish i could help more.

listen to someone else speak it, buy a tape, find a station or movie in french... something that really helped me was watching subtitled movies.  i had a hard time learning french too, and the best way to learn is to always hear it and try to understand what your hearing.  even if at first you only understand a word or two, or just pick out something and are like, hey! i know that word!  the rest tends to fall into place.  as for things like learning to conjugate verbs and what not... i'm afraid my dear, you might just have to study ;)  haha.. but yeah, subtitled movies!!  i highly recommend!  good luck!

I don't care. \nIf I can understand the question or answers, what's the problem? I had a year of French in high school. If this site was all French and I wanted to participate, I'd have a pretty rough time. But then, I'm sure some very gracious people would be kind enough to answer me. Did you know you didnt capitalize the first letter of the first word of your question?

Go watch the movie. It's only about 2 hours of your life. Let me guess, you have this for a school report and it is due on Monday and you haven't started.

In college I made sure that I was in this one guy's French class every semester, to the point where I took extra classes over summer vacation to keep up.  I always managed to be going in the same direction as him after class whenever possible, and saw way too many French movies with subtitles (he was in the French Club which showed them, plus I got extra credit for all those French classes.)  But I was too stupid to make a move and eventually he got a girlfriend and I gave up. C'est la vie I guess.

Yes, on a french oral exam in high school.  The students were allowed to take into the exam a piece of paper with no more than 15 'reminder' words in French.  I wrote out my whole oral speech in a hard pencil and erased it, then wrote the 15 words.  The examiner never looked closely enough to notice you could still see the faint dents in the paper that would spell out my whole speech.  You are forced to take a European language in high school and, since they took me kicking and screaming, I don't feel bad.  I wouldn't have cheated had I got to choose a subject I really wanted to do.
