"Class time" will entail up to four separate meetings as a group with the course instructor, Dr. Kelly Sax, at a mutually agreeable time.

What kind of "work" will I do? Under your instructor's guidance, you will develop and teach two basic lessons in French. Lessons may include the following topics: basic greetings in French, identifying common objects (basic vocabulary), teaching colors, food, days of the week, seasons, numbers, telling time, songs, games, creative art projects using French, geography of France and the French-speaking world, famous monuments, images from the francophone world, etc. (If you have other ideas, do not hesitate to propose them!) You may also participate in a bilingual French-English story hour using children's books created by F250 students. In preparation for this activity, you will meet with Kelly Sax to practice reading the books you select aloud, refining your spoken French pronunciation. You will also need to be able to translate the French to English for the students after reading it. You may wish to think of activities to help the children learn and practice some of the basic vocabulary from the stories.
