Overview

• Why are we doing this project?  
• To demonstrate the knowledge we gained from
  reading Presque Mort.
• What did we learn? 
• New vocabulary, new grammar structures, cultural
  information about La Bretagne.
• What did we practice that we already know? 
• Verb tenses  present of ER verbs and irregular
  verbs, nouns and adjectives,
• reading comprehension skills

How can we demonstrate what we learned by reading
the book?

• 1. Create a travel brochure advertising a travel
  abroad program to Bretagne and another French
  region using the information from the book. Your
  presentation to the class will be a "pitch" for
  your travel abroad programs to Bretagne and the
  region of your choice.  Be sure to include a
  description in French about why students should
  participate in travel abroad programs. (2 people)
• 2. Use Voicethread with pictures to re-tell the
  story.  You may re-do the ending, but must give a
  reason (IN FRENCH)  as to WHY  you wanted to
  change the ending. (3 people)

How can we demonstrate what we learned by reading
the book?

• 3. Do a character analysis of the main characters
  in the book  Ann, Paul, Yannick.  Describe (in
  French) their personalities, flaws, motivations
  for how they react to certain situations in the
  book.  Upon presenting your analysis, you will
  need to have a visual component to pair with your
  written descriptions (power point, Voicethread,
  dress up as a character, poster, cut-out, etc.
  2-3 people)
• 4.  Everything but the kitchen sink?!This group
  will use their imaginations to combine several
  elements of Presque Mort into one review game/
  presentation-- the power point, skit,
  Voicethread, Jeopardy game, etc.)  MUST include
  grammar, cultural information, plot information
  and character analysis.  Your idea need to be
  approved by Mr. Mallet before beginning work.  (3
  people)

We will create a wiki to be a resource page for
the book.  

• Each group will "compete" to  add a portion of
  their project to the wiki to make a complete
  resource page about Le Voyage de sa Vie that will
  demonstrate a different facet of what we learned
  by reading the book.  Only the best quality work
  will be published on the wiki!
