Instructional Ideas

  • Start out by modeling a project by creating your own presentation about France

Classroom Considerations

  • If you click a materials link within the lesson plan, you will be sent to a later page within the same document (where that material is located)
  • The worksheet titled Vocabulary Toolkit is almost the same as Worksheet 2: My French Speaking Country
  • While it's not entirely clear in the lesson, this appears to be designed as a group project

Pros

  • Includes some flexibility in the plan for different levels or purposes; learners can create their presentations in either French or another target language
  • Comes with supporting materials (worksheets, rubric, and a reflection)
  • See the materials for sample presentations that you can show your class; one is a Prezi and two are YouTube videos

Cons

  • There is a typo in the rubric
