Unit Plan Introduction

 * Textbook**: Discovering French Nouveau! McDougal Littell


 * Theme:** Leisure activities, Unit 7 (p.306-351)- We will be focusing on what people do in their free time in France (such as sports, music, traveling, etc.), and applying it to our lives as Americans.


 * Level:** French 1, high school


 * Rationale:** Using vocabulary and new grammar forms to learn about the lifestyles, cultural practices, and interests of French people. That will allow the students to plan and describe their weekend activities working with partners and groups.


 * Proficiency Goals**: Students should be able to successfully and appropriately use new vocabulary and grammar constructions: passé composé and irregular verbs to describe daily events in the past and present. Students will be able to articulate themselves using the four interconnected areas: reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

Communication- Engaging in conversations (speaking/listening), obtaining/exchanging personal information, using reading/writing skills in authentic contexts, presenting information Culture- Developing an understanding of French people by learning about their vacation practices, weekend activities Connections- Students will learn about French peoples point of view through the study of its culture Comparisons- Comparing the American way of life to the French way of life Communities- Using the French language and culture both in and outside of class
