Attendees will leave with concrete examples of finished products as well as how to get started in their own learning communities.
This session is for World Language teachers who want to begin a Free Volunteer Reading Program in class, but are not sure where to begin. Get resources for planning, student-based activities, and recommendations for organization of your library.
Although Huguenots and their descendants are a minority in France, their history symbolizes resistance and freedom of conscience—values central to French identity. Yet, American students rarely encounter their story in French studies. This presentation demonstrates how historical novels can introduce students to this cultural heritage. It explores these texts as “lieux de mémoire” and provides classroom activities to engage with their themes.
