Jean Pierre Bond et la Francophonie  - Le Monde ne suffit pas!

Jean Pierre Bond et la Francophonie - Le Monde ne suffit pas!

(0)
Jean Pierre Bond must save the day again! The Bond criminals are plotting to steal the Mona Lisa! The criminals live in the French speaking world. Jean Pierre Bond must find them and work with other secret agents to stop them. Lesson 1 language - Naming French speaking countries Lesson 1 culture- Where are these countries? what are they like ? Lesson 2 language - types of houses and rooms in a house - designing a safe house. Lesson 2 culture -Flags of the French speaking countries and les Jeux de la Francophonie. Lesson 3 language - Preparing for an assessment on everything learnt so far. Lesson 3 Culture - the SOE and links to BOND - pictures have been removed but i have referenced the sources. This is a project that I made some years ago around 2009 to motivate boys especially to enjoy French more. I updated it last year and included some cultural based lessons too as there were many non specialists that taught French in my department last year. Please note that on the map reading task in week 2 I have left the information but deleted the maps. The lessons are based around teaching - countries and where I live, types of houses and rooms in the house. I am currently updating the second part of the lessons that include time, numbers and activities such as watching TV. These will be available soon.
