The portfolio

There is no exam, as such, at the end of Première, but at the end of each term you will present a portfolio based on a selection of documents connected to the themes and issues being discussed in class.  The presentation will follow the format of the exam in Terminale: 10 minutes oral presentation followed by 10 minutes of questions from the jury. 

The marks for your portfolios and your presentations will contribute to your continuous assessment.

The "Subject 0s" below will give you an idea of what such a portfolio might look like and how you should present it.

At the end of the first term, your portfolio will contain 3 documents; at the end of the second term,  it will contain 4 documents; and at the end of the third term, it will contain from 4 to 6 documents.
