Bonjour a tous! Today in class we asked "pourquoi le francais?" and dove into some trivia about French speaking countries all around the world. You each picked a slip of paper with a French-speaking country on it. Your devoir this week is to do a bit of research on the country you chose to share with your classmates next week. I ask that you turn in a document with 10 facts about the country. Some ideas would be to include facts about the food, music, landscape, economy, what the schools are like, other languages spoken, the colors of the flag, the population size/density, facts about the country's history, religions practiced there, and so much more!!
