Students will choose a celebration of Carnaval/Mardi Gras in a Francophone city. They will research either the history, the food culture, or the celebration surrounding the holiday in the area they chose. Students will create a presentation based on their topic and will present it to the class on the class day closest to Mardi Gras. Students are expected to create a 3-dimensional representation of some aspect of their research to accompany their presentation. These should be no larger than 1' cubed and should clearly represent the topic researched.

The purpose of this project is to facilitate student learning about European train travel. The student will pretend that he/she is going to visit a minimum of 3 cities in 2 or more French-speaking European countries for 2-5 days each and will make round trip travel arrangements to and from their chosen countries. To be prepared for the trip, the student will use technology to conduct internet research, books and travel brochures in order to be able to answer questions about their chosen countries' culture, government, religion, social events, recreational pastimes, history, economics, etc. After the student has gathered all of the research, they will synthesize the information and create a comprehensive itinerary in French (French III) or English (French II) for the trip. This itinerary will then be presented to the class.
