Food
The documentary //[|Nos enfants nous accuseront]//[| (]//[|Food Beware: The French Organic Revolution)]// is centered on the dangers of non-organic food, and a village that decided the school would serve organic meals. The film is packed with French culture, from food to government. A list of a few interesting scenes and possible points to start discussing culture [|here]. user:CarrieEGold

Schools

 * Francophone School Systems Scaffolded Report [[file:fr.hw.schoolsystems.doc]]
 * I used this as a homework assignment during a French I unit learning about school supplies. It is very simple, asking students to spend some time learning about the school system in a French-speaking country. user:CarrieEGold
 * The French film //The Class// (French title: //Entre les murs//) is about a school in inner-city Paris. I showed students a clip and asked them to compare French and American schools using a Venn diagram. We found more similarities than differences.user:CarrieEGold
