Then, when I returned home the 13th, my wonderful husband had started one of his infamous DIY projects and we have been occupied with that ever since.
So, back to the challenge!
Today's challenge: Tell about a favorite book to share or teach. Provide at least one example of an extension or cross-curricular lesson.
As a matter of fact, during my tour of France, I had an opportunity to talk with a student who will be in French III this year. During our conversation, she gave me the idea to introduce the textbook I normally reserve for the upper-level classes in the third year. Trésors du temps is quite readable for this level, providing a very condensed version of the history of France. Each chapter also contains literary excerpts, some examples of period art, and even grammar review.
Each chapter/unit lends itself easily to additional research projects, inviting students to 'dig deeper' into the culture of France.
I'm feeling very positive about the change!
