Miss A -- If you need any music from Quebec, I would be happy to give you a few names. In fact, see if you can find Degenerations by Mes Aieux, or La Maison est Grande by Kain, or Hawaiian by Les Trois Accords. If not, I have copies. Lots of other options if those do not interest you. The BEST song for them would be Maria by Qbanito -- this shows the multicultural aspect of Quebec, as this artist is trilingual in French, English and Spanish (many Quebecois speak at LEAST English and French, many others, three or more languages). This song would be great for your students!!! The video is inappropriate, but here is the link to a youtube music video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpRbpXAe4oE&playnext_from=PL&feature=PlayList&p=ADCB62F0FDC88229&playnext=1&index=61 user:L2teach On another note, I really like the way that you organized this unit. I think this shows that you have really got a great routine down! Any questions in particular? user:L2teach
