TitleIdeas for Lessons on the Francophone World
Body
I felt it was imperative for my students to know about the francophone world. I have chosen different francophone countries and throughout the year spent an entire week talking about that country. For instance, the most recent country we studied was Senegal. I taught them about the government system, the history of the country, the language (Wolof and French), the art, music, and the food. Mid-week I gave the students recipes from Senegal and several students prepared dishes for a party we had on Friday (after a brief quiz on Senegal). I also found a Senegalese man who came and spoke to the students in French about his country.

I love to use this site. It's the public TV in Canada. You have lots of short videos (1 min.).

The book Personnages has 10 chapters in it focused on 10 different French speaking countries and regions. I did not like the way the book was organized, but really liked the culture pieces. Each chapter opens with a 2 page French write-up of the country.
