My Students

My students are passionate about learning French language and culture and understanding the world. They are engaged, insightful critical thinkers. My students have demonstrated resilience as they have endured the challenges of the CoVid19 crisis, supporting family members through illness and distress. They have now come face to face with the fact that they must navigate a society in crisis where they know they can be victimized simply because of their skin color.

I would like to take my students on a virtual, literary voyage to francophone regions where they can experience the wonder of nature, the power of love, and the strength of the human spirit.

My Project

The authentic news stories in the French Scholastic magazines "Bonjour" and "Chez Nous" will help my students explore the globe while immersing themselves in the French language.

While my students cannot leave Detroit to travel to a French-speaking region during the current pandemic, they can build connections with Francophone people and culture throughout the world while developing their skills in interpretive reading.

The articles will also be a platform for critical discourse on global issues.

For example we will study island of Reunion's success in protecting the great whales that travel from Antarctica each year to spend the summer.
