| Title | Childhood as a Thematic Unit |
| Body | A recent discussion on the FLTEACH listserv of childhood as a theme for French study included the following posts: ---- Although not authentic, I like to use "Peanuts" and "Mother Goose" in French. Babar, Madeline and Le Petit Prince are great. You could also use childhood rhymes of the sort where you bounce small children on your knee and counting rhymes. Pontius, J.L. Re: Childhood as a unit theme in the French class. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (20 Aug. 2005). ---- When I was teaching high school my French II students wrote and illustrated their own fairy tales. Even with their limited vocabulary they were wonderful-more creative than I could ever have hoped for. It was a great way for them to practice imparfait (Il était une fois...) and passé composé (il a dit). Hinds, K. Re: Childhood as a unit theme in the French class.

The Bibliotheque Nationale de France has a great pedagogical website for French kids to write fairy tales; in French, so not too usable for lower level classes, but for students who have trouble coming up with ideas on what to write, send them to: http://expositions.bnf.fr/contes/pedago/atelier/index.htm Give it a try: you get to select main characters, settings, etc. and then it prints out, photos and all, as a blueprint for the story.
