=*** //Final Project - Francais I - Le Temps libre// ** *=



** Brief Description:  ** Students will work in groups of 4-5 people to create a news/weather broadcast video. Each group will be assigned a Francophone region to research, and they will create a video-taped weather report about this region. They will watch an example video in class. Prior to the presentations, students will also hand in a bulleted summary of their research with citations. Each report will incorporate the weather, date, and activities one could do in that region and climate. After the unit, these videos will be posted on the class website to share with the community. Why this is worthwhile: ** The most worthwhile aspect of this project for students is that it will be a significant breakthrough in their beginning stages of French to prove that they can speak together with their peers about relevant things – a true foundation – incorporating the scenery and the props that go with it all. Further, this activity will incorporate the students’ creativity and knowledge of technology in an almost documented form so that one day they can look back on French I through this video project and say “WOW, I really knew a lot back then!” Promoting communication: ** By having students work together in groups of 4-5 while having to speak, listen, and demonstrate (with scenery, props, or acting) that they understand the dialogue, this project is truly promoting ideal communication using the new vocabulary and grammatical concepts, combined with previous knowledge. Grammar:  ** -Present tense -Faire ('to do') -Question words (quand, pourquoi, qu’est-ce que, où, qui, comment, avec qui) - –ment Adverbs (sérieusement, etc.) -Irregular Adverbs (bien, mal) -Aller ('to go') -Venir ('to come') -Futur proche (Near future) -Passé recent (Recent past)
