Foreign Language and Culture
Most foreign language students do not fully understand that the culture of a country and the language must necessarily go together.  Without the cultural aspects, much of the language usage is lost in everyday life within the country.

Au Café/ At the Café
In this lesson plan, students will practice ordering food at a café and also practice French table manners.

Tour de France
In this unit, students learn about the provinces of France, thoroughly researching one of them. They write a persuasive argument to an imaginary committee who will be choosing the route for the next Tour de France.

Au Cinema/ At the Movies
Students will practice reading, writing, and saying vocabulary associated with going to the movies. In a small group presentation, students will be given a film genre from which they must write and perform a script for the class.

La Cuisine Française
In this technology-connected lesson, students will create a one-page menu for a French restaurant with "Spécialités du Jour" from three different francophone (French-speaking) countries or cultures. Internet-connected computers and word processing software are necessary to implement this lesson.
