| Title | French Immersion Day |
| Body | You and your students are invited to the eighth annual French language immersion program for students, IMMERSION FRANÇAISE 2010, l’Année Internationale de la Biodiversité. The day’s activities will center on the topic of biodiversity, which is the UN theme for 2010. Designed for advanced high school French students (French 3 and above), the program will take place from 9:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Friday, November 5, 2010, at Wright State University. Participants pledge to speak only French during those hours, in which there will be a variety of activities such as: 1) Cérémonie d’ouverture, défilé des drapeaux 2) Atelier de théâtre 3) Présentations (musique, voyages, biodiversité) 4) Visites guidées, danse, musique, courses de recyclage, chasse aux trésors… 5) Déjeuner / piano-bar (11h30 à 12h10) 6) Jeux, activités 7) Forum, discussion, interviews avec des étudiants de WSU Because we have remarked that students engage better when they prepare something to share, we would like for each school to prepare a skit on “la biodiversité” to present during l’atelier de théâtre. Once teachers have registered for the day, we will supply participants with a few different unfinished scripts to use, finish, adapt, and perform, as needed. We really aim for this to be a fun, low-stress event. Our goal is to encourage your students to continue with French and to give you a stress-free day of professional development. We offer all participating teachers a goodie bag with pedagogical materials, and as much moral and professional support as we can give. ELIGIBILITY: To participate in the program, students must: 1) be in third level or above of high school French, 2) be willing to speak only French during the program. COST TO STUDENTS: $14 (non-refundable) per student, payable to "Wright State University" (includes registration fee, registration packet with French goodie bag, activités, box lunch, WSU French Club tee-shirt and certificat de participation). COST TO TEACHERS: No Charge to participating teachers or French-speaking exchange students. Teachers receive pedagogical material free of charge. PARTICIPATION LIMITED TO FIRST 250 STUDENTS!!!
