Expected Preparation for School

Franz, the protagonist of the story "The Last Lesson" from the CBSE Class 12 Flamingo textbook, was expected to be prepared with certain things for school on that particular day.

Books and Assignments
Franz was expected to bring his books and completed assignments to school. This was a routine expectation for students to ensure they were ready for their lessons.

French Lesson
On that specific day, Franz was particularly expected to be prepared for a French lesson. The story is set during the time when the Prussians had taken control of Alsace and Lorraine, two regions in France, where Franz lived. The Prussians had issued an order that henceforth, only German language would be taught in schools, and French would not be allowed. However, the French teacher, Mr. Hamel, wanted to impart one last lesson in French to his students before they were forced to learn German.

French Grammar and Conjugation
Franz was expected to have revised and prepared himself with French grammar and conjugation. Mr. Hamel was known to be strict and particular about teaching grammar and conjugation rules. Franz was aware that he had not prepared well and was afraid of facing the teacher's wrath.

Reading and Translation
Apart from grammar and conjugation, Franz was also expected to be prepared for reading and translation exercises. French literature and texts were an essential component of the curriculum, and students were expected to be able to comprehend and translate the given passages accurately.

Oral Examination
Franz was also expected to be prepared for an oral examination in French. Mr. Hamel often tested his students' understanding and pronunciation by asking them to translate and speak in French. Franz, being a mischievous student, often neglected his studies and was concerned about how he would perform in the oral examination.

Overall, Franz was expected to be prepared with his books, assignments, and specifically, his knowledge of French grammar, conjugation, reading, translation, and pronunciation for the French lesson on that day. However, as the story unfolds, it becomes evident that there is a twist awaiting the students that would make this day unforgettable for Franz and his classmates.
