Le festival du voyageur (Core French – Writing Workshop)

Ministère de l’Éducation de la Saskatchewan. 2001. This unit models communicative/experiential second language teaching in a multidimensional curriculum and complements units in Core French: A Curriculum and Resource Guide for the Elementary Level (1994). Students have an opportunity to learn about the voyageurs and their travels. Students will discover the leisure activities, food and clothing of the voyageurs. They will visit the website of the Festival du Voyageur that is held each year in Saint-Boniface, Manitoba. For the experiential goal, students will create and organize a “voyageur” afternoon including a brochure or poster and an oral presentation. The teacher’s guide includes learning objectives, a list of resources and step-by-step suggestions on how to teach the unit. In addition, the guide includes answer sheets, suggested vocabulary and motivational games, supplementary activities, written text of the listening activity, flashcards, model letter to parents, evaluation grids, and activities and websites. The student workbook includes the necessary student activity sheets, vocabulary lists, and teacher, peer and self-evaluation grids. 71 p.
