How can we demonstrate what we learned by reading the book? / 1. Create a travel brochure advertising a travel abroad program to Bretagne and another French region using the information from the book. Your presentation to the class will be a "pitch" for your travel abroad programs to Bretagne and the region of your choice. Be sure to include a description in French about why students should participate in travel abroad programs. (2 people) / 2. Use Voicethread with pictures to re-tell the story. You may re- do the ending, but must give a reason (IN FRENCH) as to WHY you wanted to change the ending. (3 people) / 1.

We will create a wiki to be a resource page for the book. / Each group will "compete" to add a portion of their project to the wiki to make a complete resource page about Le Voyage de sa Vie that will demonstrate a different facet of what we learned by reading the book. Only the best quality work will be published on the wiki!

When is the project due? / G Day, Thursday, April 30
