The SEVEN Fund 2011 Teaching Fellowships enable teachers to travel to Rwanda and study enterprise solutions to poverty.
Rwanda is a multi-lingual country. French, English, and Kinyarwanda are all widely spoken. Teachers of all disciplines are invited to apply. The Fellowship offers a unique opportunity to French speakers, especially French instructors, to interact with a broad group of speakers in a Francophone African nation.
[link removed]
Background: The objective of the Fellowship is to introduce the concepts of business solutions to poverty within the K-12 curriculum. Winners will be invited to spend two weeks in Rwanda, meeting with leaders in the private, government, and education sectors. Individual meetings and trips will also be facilitated depending upon the interests of the winning teachers. For example, a biology teacher might spend time with scientists working in Rwanda’s emerging biotech cluster; an art teacher might travel the country to study artisan cooperatives specializing in different handicrafts; a journalism teacher might shadow the editor of a major national Rwandan publication.
Three Fellows will be selected from public school settings, and one Fellow will be chosen from a faith-based school. Each year, our Faith-based Fellowship focus rotates; our 2011 Faith-Based Fellowship will focus on a K-12 teacher from a Catholic School environment. Interested applicants must submit applications online by February 15th, and the winners will be notified in early March.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions about how I can use a Smartboard to engage students during French class? Are there any French videos or games out there to use with a Smartboard?
I am teaching beginning French to eighth grade students, some of whom are more interested in the subject than others..

I am basically going to use project-based learning, and am thinking of not worrying about verb conjugation, but just expose the studetns to conversation and francophone culture, so that they will conjugate naturally, as time goes on.. Well, that's the plan anyway. Some are more defiant than others..
Does anyone know of any good movies or other activities (such as exploring various regions of France) that these students might enjoy?
Thanks!
When I give a handout or packet on vocabulary or grammar topic...What word would I use to say "handout" or "packet"??
Merci

She basically gave me a list of "cultural" things to study, a list of adjectives to know to detect the tone of reading passages, and 7 common speaking tasks from the past. I've made notes for each of the cultural items, and have practiced the speaking tasks, trying to say as much as possible in 2 minutes. Are there any specific questions that you remember?!?!? I hope some of what I'm studying is on this test. This is what I was sent and what I'm studying.
