for Implementation Acros Grade
Levels
Students took notes in both
lenguages, depending on what they were
reading. They also used Google Translate to
help them understand new vocabulary they
were encountering in either English or
French.

Provide an opportunity for them to think
critically about how sentences are
structured in each lenguage. Students had
to compare and contrast English and
French syntax. This was powerful language
learning experience for students.
Students had to interview two differents
people in their neigborhood to inquire into
the resources and knowledge available in
their own communities.
