Introduction
We have been learning French for a few years now, and to show our knowledge and practice our second language, we are going to take a class trip to Quebec!!! What an exciting time! However, we don't have a lot of time, so we need to plan what we are going to do and the places that we want to see.
Task
For this assignment, you will research things that you can do in Quebec. You must find things that are cultural, and "French" to help us practice our second language and to learn more about the French culture in our own country. You will create a brochure with pictures, captions and details on the places that we can visit. You can include foods, clothing, special events, etc.
Process
You can use these websites to research information for your brochure. Be sure to include at least one place for us to stay.....where we should go to eat (2 places)........what we should see (3 places to visit). Don't forget to cite your sources in a section on the back of the brochure-for pictures and information. And bien sur, everything should be written en francais!!
