Join a wiki: Reading Resources 4 French Teachers!



I follow Cristy Vogel, High school French teacher on Twitter and she has set up this fantastic wiki to make our students read French books. The aim of the wiki is "to collaborate and find the sources you need to empower students to read in French".

There are already great contributions with videos, poems, articles and websites, as well as ideas to implement reading strategies in the classroom. I have added my little contribution today with resources related to the 20th century's writer, Jean Giono and his book L'homme qui plantait des arbres (The man who planted trees).

I do believe reading books in a another language and understanding the literature of another country helps you to better learn a language and understand the culture behind the language.

So if you:

  • need help with your plans for literature/reading in the classroom, click on the Discussion tab and start a thread with your question and/or comment.
  • have a link to a video, song, poem, article, website, etc. for a reading, click on the century for which you have something to share and get started today!
Thank you Cristy for setting up this brilliant wiki. Actually, it would be nice now, to have the same for Spanish!
