The theme that we are working on at present is "les voyages." Students, working in pairs, are presenting lessons in class on Amérique du Nord, Amérique du Sud, l'Europe, le Moyen-Orient, l'Asie, l'Océanie and l'Antarctique this week. Each student pair should be prepared to present information on their chosen area, followed up by an activity to do in class. Students will be evaluated on their preparedness, the quality of their lesson and activities. I am looking forward to seeing the student's lessons.
