During the fourth week of school, the French 1 students learned about how to discuss things that someone likes and dislikes. In preparation for an upcoming assessment, the students created personalized posters to practice sharing about their likes and dislikes in a presentational writing format. The context for this little project was: You are studying abroad for a semester and your host brother or sister would like to know about you and your interests before you arrive. Students wrote a short introduction of themselves telling their host sibling about their age, birthday, and where they are from. Next they wrote about their likes and dislikes ranging from what they hate to what they love. Finally they included a question for their host sibling about his/her own likes and dislikes. Students were encouraged to draw and color pictures representing their different likes and dislikes.

This week in French 2 has been exciting and eye-opening for the students! They have taken a field trip to Crêpes & Croissants in Columbia, SC and met a University of South Carolina international student from France. During the field trip, students spoke with Crêpes & Croissants owner Laurent Prescelti who is from Marseille, France. Mr. Prescelti showed the students how crêpes are made in France. He showed students the tools he uses, what they do, and why they are important. Afterwards, students ordered from the menu in order to taste authentic French cuisine. Students ordered crêpes, croissant sandwiches, macarons and more! This experience will be an interesting way for students to connect what they now know about French cuisine to what they will learn later this semester in Unit 3 when we learn about food and health. During the guest speaker event, USC international student Corentin Grenon presented to students a lot of interesting information about France and his life in Paris. Throughout the presentation, students interacted with Mr. Grenon to share and discuss the topics he was presenting. Students learned about French geography, history, culture, food, sports, music, daily life, and more! After the presentation, students asked Mr. Grenon a lot of questions. They also heard from USC Thinking Globally program manager Julie Medlin about how they can travel abroad when they go to college and language scholarships available for studying abroad. Meeting two people from France and experiencing French dining was an engaging opportunity for students to expand their global perspectives. |
