Appendix
Academic Standards:
This unit is based upon the American Council for the Teaching of Foreign Language’s World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages.23
All four language domains (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) are represented in the classroom activities. Educators teaching this unit may choose to more intently focus on Communication (language acquisition and use), Culture (gaining a stronger understanding of the target culture), Connection (recognizing parallels between cultural practices of the target language and their own), Comparison (comparing and contrasting their own experiences with those of the target language/culture), or Communities (participating in the global diaspora of the target language/culture) as they see fit.
They may also choose to use the language portion of the unit as a review to focus more on Francophone culture, or increase the complexity of the language tasks to accommodate learners with higher levels of proficiency, if desired.
