Our 11th graders will soon take their É.A.F, a mysterious acronym that stands for Épreuves Anticipées de Français, the first tests of the French Baccalaureate (Bac), which are completed in 12th grade, or Terminale. The renowned diploma closes out high school for some 800,000 French-speaking students worldwide, according to the French Ministry of Education, and opens the door to their life as university students.
The Bac is a rite of passage, and high school students are generally very anxious before their first tests. The EAF includes two four-hour written tests.

“Demain, dès l’aube” by Victor Hugo
Claude Monet, Le Givre (1880)
Hugo’s most famous poem is untitled and thus known by its “incipit,” or opening words: “Demain, dès l’aube, à l’heure où blanchit la campagne…” (“Tomorrow at dawn, the hour that whitens the countryside…”). In this short, elegiac poem, w
