Hello, I am a parent not a teacher so i hope that it is alright that I am posting here. I have some questions regarding appropriate french 4 curriculum. My son is in a french 4 class and is constantly complaining the class is too easy.

Dana lease do not assume that a teacher is mediocre because he or she is not a native speaker. In addition, it would be good to know if this is a teacher who has just acquired the position. If the class is not prepared for AP curriculum, the teacher may be attempting to 'catch up'. However, I do agree that this does not sound like AP curriculum, so as a...See More

French 1a

by Mme Erika

Jan 21, 2012

Salut,

Does anyone know a good place to get weather reports in French? We're learning about the weather and I want to show my students an example of a live forecast. Any ideas out there?

Merci Ã tous, Erika

Mlle. S I like to use meteofrance.com to have my students look up the weather in different French speaking places around the world - this also lends itself very well to a discussion of l'outre- mer. You can also see the daily live weather report on the site.

Enjoy!

Mme Erika Mlle. S,

That is a great idea. I noticed that they also have nice big graphics for beginning language learners. Thanks a lot.

French penpals

by Mlle Hardesty

Jan 24, 2012

I am looking for a reputable site that provides french- speaking pen pals. I'd like to suggest several sites to my students (many have expressed interest in finding a French penpal), but I don't want to suggest any site that will send them spam, sell their email, etc. Do any of you have suggestions of good companies? Preferably free but a small cos...See More

French conjugation songs

by Ms. Claire

Jan 27, 2012

I have bought so many "Basic" french CDs to use in my classroom since the students are obsessed with music. But they all sound like nursery rhymes and have no English translations included. I finally found a good one and wanted to share. Enfin!

Market lesson?

by Madame Debyser

Jan 27, 2012

Bonjour, My high school French I students are learning food-related vocab and I want to do some sort of lesson related to the market culture--perhaps tying in markets in different Francophone countries. Does anyone have ideas, suggestions, lessons they used that worked, resources...Merci beaucoup!

Kat Bonjour!

I've actually been dying to do this for a while, myself! We're lucky enough to have two farmers' markets where I teach, so the kids could easily take a "field trip" (aka: walk down to the market) to do an assignment that I whip up. I may try it with my French III students- we're on Chapter 3 in Bien Dit! French 2. Lots of veggies ...See More

Trouble finding authentic cafÃ© menus

by Mme. Erika

Jan 28, 2012

Bonjour Ã tous,

I am using the Discovering French series and in our edition, they still use francs. I'm looking for a photo/pdf of an authentic menu that uses Euros and is also simple enough for students in French 1a to begin to understand. Any suggestions? How have others solved the francs/euro issue?
