Description

This unit serves as a means for students to explore various aspects of Francophone cultures. To demonstrate the diversity that exists in the Francophone world, countries have been chosen from five different continents. Students examine various cultural realities by using authentic documents, such as French rail tickets. Students discover the variety of festivals, markets, celebrities, linguistic variations, and elements of daily life from specific countries. Students are encouraged to reflect upon the similarities and differences between life in other countries and life in Canada. Final Task: Groups of six students participate in a board game that features Francophone countries around the world. Teams of two will make their way around the board by correctly answering a question on Francophone culture on each space. These questions are developed by the students themselves and will focus on the many cultural elements found in each country.

The TRB is organized into 8 to 10 "lessons". Each lesson is broken down into three phases: Pre-Activity, Activity, Post-Activity. The TRB contains methodology, language, content and outcomes summary charts, and comprehensive lesson plans written by practicing teachers. Also includes assessment and evaluation with reproducible rubrics, checklists and worksheets, as well as additional activities (in reproducible master format). In every thematic unit, teaching notes are provided for combined grades, differentiated instruction for varying ability levels and for varying the final task.
