French 2 Project
La ville du futur
BRIGITTE ROSHAY
Students of French 2 were requested to do a project for the Unit « Welcome to my place ».
They worked in pairs. They had to study the city they live in, the infrastructure and identify the problems faced today in that city. To conclude, they had to submit their findings to the government of their town, tell about their concern and design their ideal place.
Their presentation was two-fold: write a report to the government and make a presentation which was shown to the rest of the class.
The result of this project shows their concern about our world today on subjects such as the environment, health, society, education, work, to name a few.
