La Canada High School - Mme Hurley
Inspired by two French teachers on the East Coast who had this idea, I decided to make a music competition for my own students and invited some French teacher colleagues to participate with me.
Students choose their favorite songs/artists and see who moves on - much like the March Madness basketball tournament in the NCAA.
Students will hear new French/Francophone music and get excited about their favorite artists.
1. Access a copy of the bracket here. You can print a hard copy for yourself or fill out the virtual copy. Maybe your teacher made you a copy already?
2. Listen to the music and choose your favorite songs! Judge only based on the music, not the videos as some songs don't have a video. You can use the iTunes or Spotify playlists below to access them.
3. Fill out your entire bracket through each round, choose your champion, and take a screen shot/scan a copy. Send it to your teacher on your LMS (Google classroom/ Schoology/Canvas, etc..), or turn in a hard copy - it all depends on your teacher and what they want from you. See here for directions on how to fill out your bracket
**How do I fill out my bracket? To fill out your bracket, it's simple. For example, for match 1, you will choose which song you think will advance to the second round, and do the same for all of the matches 1-8. Then you choose which will go on in the second round (matches 9 - 12), and so on until you choose your champion. Do not change your bracket once you have submitted your screen shot to your teacher. Brackets are due to your teacher (if they're collecting them) by March 6th!
4. Voting starts 3/9. Vote daily (week days only!) Voting opens at 8:00am Pacific and ends at 7:00pm Pacific. You will vote on one match per day. Click on the Votez Ici tab at the top of the page to take you to the voting or on the blue link.
5. Check your results each day and keep track of your points. The master bracket will be populated the next votinng day with winners of each match from the prior voting day. The championship winner will be posted on March 30th, 2026.
6. Amusez-vous bien et que la meilleure chanson gagne! Have fun and may the best song win!
