7e Année

L'Amitié, l'Identité et la Communauté

Bravo! You have successfully completed your first year of French and are ready to build bigger ideas and to strengthen connections between you, others and the Francophone World. Continuing with the themes Identité, et communauté, this year we will emphasize the importance of taking care of both self and others. We will learn how to talk about how we are feeling physically and mentally and how to get and stay healthy. We will talk about the importance of helping our family and friends and being there for others. This year you have the opportunity to correspond with a pen pal from Antony, France, Lexington's sister city, who will become your friend and direct connection to le monde francophone. Perhaps when you are at Lexington High School you will participate in the exchange between Lexington-Antony and will get a chance to finally meet your correspondant! The study of moi et les autres - la famille et les amis - will also be complemented by the authentic film Le Petit Nicolas. You will then have the opportunity to perform and produce your own play based on the film. You will explore the community of Antony, France as we study how our surroundings and our community influence who we are. We will learn how to advocate for ourselves in a French-speaking city by asking for directions and telling someone what we need or are looking for. Finally, after our virtual trip to the city, we will then gather around the table to discuss our favorite cultural topic, food. We will discuss ways to eat healthy and how food can bring us together. Seventh grade will be a year of positive growth towards greater proficiency. Bon Courage!
