Un
samedi à Paris
Aim: The
objective of this learning experience is to provide a learner-centered, performance-based
lesson in which students work cooperatively to plan a day of activities in Paris. Using authentic resources available on the WWW,
students must research, read, discuss, and negotiate a variety of resources and topics. Each group then writes a dialogue discussing their
plans, rejecting three ideas and agreeing on three. The
final revision is compiled into a written report, combine text and graphics, and presented
orally to the class.
