Le Voyage et la Francophonie

Ashton is trying to find the best background for his book
Every Friday the students are working on their French project. Each team is assigned a francophone cultural event or festival in Canada.

Seoha and Anya deep in research
Abby is reading information about Winterlude in Ottawa

Emma and Evan are done with the 'table des matières'...
...and Mme Tedesco is checking it for them.

This page is almost done!


The students' level of French is not high enough to be able to conduct the research in French (it's a core French class after all!), therefore they are reading the information in English. They are using a template to enter the information about each festival, which they are typing into the Book Creator pages they had created.
Spelling is challenging, since the spell check function is set for English.

They are using online and traditional dictionaries.


It's great to see their enthusiasm and creativity. And I learnt something new: one of them showed me how to find the French accents on the iPad's keyboard: you hold the key of the closest vowel, then carefully slide your fingertip onto the right letter that shows up. I didn't know that!
