French __ Room ________ M./Mme_________ Letter to Parent at the Beginning of the School Year, Response Form Date Dear parents, Bonjour et bienvenue (Hello and welcome)! I am excited to kick off the new school year (la rentrée). This will be a special year in which your child will be learning not only to speak, read, and write the French language but will also be learning about French people and their culture. Below you will find many ways in which your child will grow through the study of French culture and language. You will also learn about many of the fun activities your child and you too, if you choose to participate in them, can anticipate during this school year. Your child has made a wise decision in choosing to study French. French is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. With French, one can be understood in 55 countries across 5 continents by over 200 million people. Studying French helps one to communicate better with the Francophone world. In addition, it will help improve one’s understanding of his or her own language as one develops a rich knowledge of French vocabulary. French provides the base for more than 30% of modern English vocabulary. It will also help prepare for success on college entrance exams and in classes at the university. French is used in many professions and knowledge of French greatly enhances travel experiences in French-speaking countries. Activities in our class this year will include participation in National French Week in November, a Mardi Gras celebration in February, and the National French Contest in March. We will also be making French pastries, crêpes, and student- designed French motif t-shirts. We have a very active French Club, and our president _____________ is eager to organize Samplenumerous fun activities such as: field trips to French plays, movies, and restaurants, our annual pétanque tournament, and our French competition called le Tour de _____________. There are many ways in which YOU, too, can participate in your child’s linguistic and cultural development. Here are just a few of them: o Chaperone a field trip o Be Versiona guest speaker (share a personal French experience: travel, business, au pair, etc.) o Recommend a potential speaker on French culture, travel, business, etc. o Help in class with special projects The French Language Initiative: The World Speaks French American Association of Teachers of French Letter: Bonjour to Paris Page 1 of 4 Letter to Parent at the Beginning of the School Year, Response Form o Help in some way with classroom materials o Help with fundraising o Support our French program.

Consider placing a brief, friendly biography on your school’s web page and including it with your beginning-of–the-year parent materials for parents. Include some of the following: • Name • School • How long you have been teaching at your school • Previous teaching positions • Degrees earned • Study abroad experiences • Professional organizations • Interests • Family • Teaching philosophy • Photograph Example: Chers amis (Dear friends), My name is Suzette DuPont, and I have been a French teacher at Robertstown Central High School for the past five years. Previously, I taught French at West High School in Smithville and at Robertstown East High School. I graduated with my B.A. from State College in French Studies and completed my M.A. in French Literature at The University of Centerville. I then completed my M.Ed. in Secondary Education at Jones University. My family is originally from Paris, where I spend a week or two every summer. I am active in the American Association of Teachers of French (AATF), where I enjoy exchanging ideas with SampleFrench colleagues across the state. I live here in Robertstown with my husband Bob, daughter Sophie, and two dogs, Buster and Chloe. I love studying other languages (I'm going to take Japanese this semester!) and believe that language learning is a way to see the world and myself from a new perspective, as well as connect with wonderful people whom I would otherwise never meet. I also play the French horn in the Smithville Civic Orchestra, so look for me after the concerts! I'm glad to be a part of the Central High School family and look forward to meeting each and every one of you this year! Version À bientôt (See you soon)!

Abstract The French Revolution of 1789 was instrumental in the emergence and growth of modern nationalism, the idea that a state should represent, and serve the interests of, a people, or "nation," that shares a common culture and history and feels as one. But national ideas, often with their source in the otherwise cosmopolitan world of the Enlightenment, were also an important cause of the Revolution itself. The rhetoric and documents of the Revolution demonstrate the importance of national ideas.

  • Falls Around Her
    Baswewe Films and The Film Farm Present FALLS AROUND HER Starring Tantoo Cardinal Written and Directed by Darlene Naponse PRESS KIT SYNOPSIS Falls Around Her follows Mary Birchbark (Tantoo Cardinal), a legendary singer who returns to the vast wilderness of her reserve to reconnect with the land and her community. Mary begins to sense that someone might be watching her. Unsure of what is real and what is imagined, Mary embraces isolation as she explores the psychological impact of her past and present. PRODUCTION NOTES Work and Walk in a Good Way Honour the Seven Grandfathers teachings: Honesty – Wisdom – Respect – Bravery – Humility – Truth – Love Those words and several others would accompany Falls Around Her’s first callsheet and would be included in every callsheet during the shoot. For the Anishinaabe people, the Teachings of the Seven Grandfathers is a set of teachings on human conduct toward others. As film crews employ many people from several different backgrounds, it’s a daily reminder to treat all creation with respect. And cast and crew took those words to heart every day and it contributed to a joyful set. Even more amazing given that there was a mix of crew of indigenous and non-indigenous people. The crew for Falls Around Her became an amalgamation of Toronto and Atikameksheng Anishnawbek/Sudbury/North Bay crews along with many indigenous locals. For the locals, it was the biggest production to ever have its home base on the reservation, and they were prepared for the challenge and the collective hard work of all is reflected on-screen.

  • Conversational Cajun French 1
    Mais, sa c’est queque chose quand meme! Apprendre le français cadien par la lecture! Cajun French is still widely heard throughout Louisiana. However, this language—spoken by the descendants of the exiled Acadians—is in danger of disappearing. It was illegal to speak it at one time and even today, the teaching of Cajun French in schools is a controversial issue. With the publication of Conversational Cajun French 1, the first systematic approach to teaching the language, Cajun French becomes Conversational Cajun French 1 accessible to those born outside Cajun families. Authors Randall Whatley and Harry Jannise, Cajuns who speak fluent Cajun French, originally developed this handbook for a series of informal conversational Cajun French classes for the Louisiana State University Union in Baton Rouge. As an introduction Conversational to Cajun French, the book is extremely practical. Conversational Cajun French 1 focuses on everyday words and common phrases that can be understood everywhere the language is spoken, despite the various dialects Cajun French 1 and subdialects. Included are lessons in everyday words such as days and months, holidays, parts of the body, numbers, clothing, colors, rooms of By Randall P. Whatley and Harry Jannise the house and their furnishings, foods, animals, fruits and vegetables, tools, plants, and trees. In addition, there is a section of useful expressions and a list of traditional Cajun names. Although the book is designed to be used in conjunction with audio CDs or downloads (available from Pelican), a pronunciation guide enables even the beginning student working alone to learn enough to converse Whatley/Jannise with Cajuns—or at least enough to stay out of trouble in South Louisiana! Conversational Cajun French 1 is an important book not only because it provides a means for those trying to learn Cajun French on their own, but also because it marks an effort to preserve the language and culture and to win a wider acceptance for this unique aspect of Louisiana’s—and indeed the United States’—heritage.

  • Là Où La Route Mène : Une Entrevue Avec Daniel Lavoie Par Jean-Sébastien Ménard
    Là où la route mène : une entrevue avec Daniel Lavoie Par Jean-Sébastien Ménard Le 24 mai 2018, Daniel Lavoie était de passage au Théâtre de la ville afin d’y présenter le dernier spectacle de sa tournée Mes longs voyages. Je l’ai rencontré dans le cadre de la campagne de valorisation de la langue française Le français s’affiche et grâce à l’aimable intervention des gens du Théâtre de la Ville. Daniel Lavoie, comment vous présenteriez-vous? Je suis un aventurier des temps modernes, quelqu’un qui a choisi, à un moment donné, de faire de la Photo de Richard Baltauss musique plutôt que de retourner aux études. On dit souvent qu’une carrière artistique, c’est un plan B. Pour moi, ce n’était ni un plan A, ni un plan B, ni un plan C. Ce n’était même pas un plan. J’aimais beaucoup la musique et j’en faisais pendant mes études. C’était un passe-temps et un gagne-pain, parce que je gagnais ma vie avec ça, mais je ne pensais pas devenir un professionnel de la musique, je voulais poursuivre mes études. Ceci dit, après mon cours classique, alors que j’avais 21 ans, j’ai décidé de prendre une année sabbatique pour faire de la musique. Ça fait maintenant plus de 50 ans de ça… Au début de votre carrière, vous n’étiez pas chanteur, mais musicien. J’étais d’abord musicien. J’étais accompagnateur. J’accompagnais les autres. Au départ, mon but, dans ce métier, c’était d’être musicien, parce que j’aimais beaucoup la musique, parce 1 que je composais beaucoup.
