The purpose of this project is to facilitate student learning about travel to a French-speaking country. The student will pretend that he/she has a budget of $3500 to visit a minimum of 3 cities in 2 or more French-speaking countries (or French territories) 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, s/he will synthesize the information and create a comprehensive itinerary in French (French III & IV) or in English (French I & II) for the trip. This itinerary will then be presented to the class. French I & II will need to memorize 5-10 basic French sentences for the presentation as well.

The student will present an oral presentation to explain a modern French artist. For AP students, the presentation will be entirely in French.

You will create a Power Point presentation about French speaking country. This presentation should thoroughly provide information about the languages spoken in that country, as well as provide additional cultural information.

Research a French speaking city or country. You are in no way limited to choosing France or a city in it. In fact, I encourage you to seek out other Francophone locations and see what interests you. You’ll be presenting your powerpoint to the class on Tuesday, 10/9/12.
