Exprimez-vous P. 31#1
The project was introduced by going over the
general directions and discussing possible focus areas. The students expressed
interest in various aspects of the county history that were talked about by
other students. Many of the students stated that they did not know that many
of the events had taken place in the county and asked if they could use the
class computers to begin looking for information. During the initial research,
students found obituaries of relatives, satellite photos of their homes and
articles about the area.
After setting their final project objectives,
in order to find the needed information, students continued to research on
the Internet, in books about the county and they conducted interviews with
family members and other county residents.
Final reports were presented to the class in
French. The students were allowed to add additional information after the
formal presentation in English. The students were surprised at the number
of events and places associated with their towns and county.
This class includes a foreign exchange student.
In order to accommodate the needs of this student, more emphasis was placed
on the county rather than specific towns. We also spent additional time giving
her ideas about what to research.
