The Legacy of French Canadian Immigrants in New England
French Addendum
Dummond Family

Teachers of French who wish to include use of language skills in their objectives can make the following adjustments to our procedure:

  1. All groups can be required to keep a list of French words and expressions that appear in nearly all of the American Life Histories. During the discussion stage of the lesson, students can be asked to use this vocabulary to make statements relevant to the assignment. As an alternative, students can be asked to use the vocabulary in a similar assignment in written form.
  2. After the search process is completed, the class can brainstorm to compile a list of vocabulary words and expressions that will facilitate discussions of French Canadian immigrants' experience in French.
  3. The photo analysis can be done in French. The questions can be modified to reflect the level of the class. French version photo analysis guide..
  4. The evaluations for the unit can be done in French.
