Wonder why there are so many French names in the United States? Come explore the impact of early French exploration, commerce and politics on the development the northern US and the Mississippi Valley. A sample interactive unit will be presented, including a variety of resources that help the people and history come to life for our students, as we reflect on this history that continues to impact our daily lives.
This session offers curated information to teach students abroad from a guidebook being written by Ray Kleinlein, artist and art historian, with Joan McRae, French professor. Focusing on key elements from the architecture, art, history, culture, and customs of Paris, this is not Rick Steves, but is made so teachers have at hand the information needed when standing before the grand monuments, the art in the Louvre, the metro system or shopping in the Marais.
For those times when unplanned events occur, 25+ activities beyond the norm that you can use right away with no planning or materials needed, little stress and great results…come ready to try some!
