What a great way to perform the learning outcomes for Grade 11 French:  find a true French recipe from the Francophone world via Twitter and make it for the class.  Preparing French food together helped build community, reviewed our French food vocabulary, and created authentic research opportunities.  We would like to thank the people on Twitter who responded to our tweets, looking for recipes.  We were not only sent good recipes, but links to specific food regions in France as well, building our understanding of the culture.  The students now have an even deeper appreciation of French cuisine and culture.

One student filmed the others speaking in French about the cuisine and he will be posting it to our blog via YouTube.  We will also send the YouTube link to out tweet-pals (@chapman6s) in Ontario.
