Curriculum Connections
FRENCH LANGUAGE CLASSES:
Penpals
By corresponding to PENPALS from a french milieu, the students will practice both their reading and writing skills (grammar, structure,
vocabulary, etc.). This positive stimulus would heighten interest and respect for their target language and promote tolerance for different
cultures.
Reading For Pleasure
Students will access more French reading material
of varying interests.
SOCIAL STUDIES CLASSES:
Democratic/Droit
Students need to be able to analyze real-life case scenarios for
these courses to see their relevance to today's society. They need a hands-on approach to make these courses more meaningful.
ECONOMIE/ECONOMIE GOLBALE:
Problems Mondiaux
Current Events are crucial to these courses. Without up-to-date information on world issues, these courses cannot survive. Students
need to see that they are learning about real events that are being covered by real newspapers. Students need to judge the opinions of
others concerning world events that can impact on their lives.
