Read the story here.

[|Site de Sarah Jourdain pour ce conte] The story is translated into several languages and I have done these cooperative learning activities in French and then integrated with an AP Spanish class for a final discussion in English about living a purposeful life. It is a great activity for Seniors in high school during the month of May.

__LE FANTÔME DE L'OPÉRA__


If I have a multi-level class, students read this independently in the abridged form, completing a variety of activities-comprehension, discussion and projects. You can upload an image to voicethread.com and have them comment on its relation to the story. If the class is large enough, I pair students homogeniously so that they can progress at the same pace. One exceptional project was a maquette of the Opera House that the student used as she retold the story. = =

Le Petit Prince par Mme. T. user:theisent media type="custom" key="3786165"

My wiki pages for Le Petit Prince emphasize the biography of St. Exupéry (and his wife Consuelo, often thought to be the Little Prince's Rose), and extend study of the book to include Aviation and "Extraterrestres".

**Prévert Poetry**

I used the Prévert poems "Barbara" and "Familiale" with an S3 mixed ability class (14 year olds) - this was an experiment with this class. We did some work in class on the poems, but I asked them to add a comment to our class wiki at home - I like to think that they took even just 5 minutes out of their busy lives to think about French poetry. A few twittering friends very kindly added a couple of comments to help them along! - Lynne
