Overview:
Rationale:
During this lesson their will be a brief review of important concepts regarding
location pronouns. After the review the teacher will introduce the event exploration
assignment. Through this assignment the students will research an event that took
place in a French speaking country within the last 50 years. The students will then
report their findings in a variety of ways such as newspaper article, PowerPoint, etc.
Guidelines for the assignment will include a summary of the event in at least 10
sentences using their findings in their own words, using the various pronouns at
least 5 times, and finally creating the presentation for the assignment. The students
will then present their findings in class 7. The students will be provided an
assignment sheet with the expectations for the presentation. The remainder of the
period will be provided for the students to draft their ideas and begin working on the
assignment. It is important to note that the students can complete this presentation
in either groups of 2 or individually.
