1. During the seven (7) weeks of this French wheel, you do not have ​daily homework. ​Chez Vous ​(“At Home”) is the
main homework project that you must do. It is due at the end of the wheel, so you will need to plan now! Attached
is a 7 week calendar you should use to schedule.
This project will be challenging and fun, and ​some options can even include the whole family! ​You will explore the
French-speaking ​(francophone) world – its language, culture, and history – and hopefully learn more about our
own, too.
Choose three (3) of the themes below to make a tic-tac-toe ​(morpion).​You must go through the center box! ​A list
of different project choices for each theme is on the back of this sheet, ranging from easier to more difficult.
When you have chosen your projects, ask Mademoiselle for each project’s criteria/grading sheet. If you (or your
parents) have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
