French 1: Directions project

We are making posters for the front of the school giving directions to places on campus for visitors.  Today in the lab you need to create THREE talking QR codes for your poster.

1.  Go to www.qrvoice.net
2.  In the space bar, type in your directions in French.  You will need to spell things a little differently in order to get a proper pronunciation:  for example, spell "continuez and tournez" with an R on the end instead of a Z -otherwise the voice will pronounce the Z. type "tourner" and "continuer."
3.  click on the tiny QR code on the right to generate your code.  It will appear in the large box below.  If you have a scanner on your phone you can scan the code to check pronunciation.
4.  right click on the large code and select "copy image."  open up a word document and paste the image there.  Next to the code, type the name of the place it goes to so you can keep the codes straight!
5. repeat for all 3 codes.
6.  In your word document, size the QR codes to the size you need for your poster.  All QR codes should be on one page.  Print this page- make TWO copies, one for you and one to turn in to the teacher with your name on it.
7.  Cut out and glue your QR codes to your poster.  Add the codes of your partner.
8.  NEXT CLASS:  if possible, download a QR code scanner to your phone (they are free) so we can go on a scavenger hunt in class with each other's codes!

French 1 Map Project: Giving Directions

We are learning how to give directions in French!  This unit will have several parts:

1.  With a partner, design a map of a French city.  Include TEN of the places around town we have been studying , labeled in French. Example:  bibliotheque, piscine, cafe, etc.  Must have at least 8 streets, one monument, and one traffic circle. Number SIX of the places 1-6, make sure they are spread out around your map.  Be creative!  Fill your space - you can include more places as you need to.
3.  We will use the maps in class to practice giving directions:
Put your hot wheels car in your traffic circle.
Roll the dice.
"Drive" your car to the number destination your rolled, telling your partner in French how to get there.
Your partner starts from that location and rolls to take a turn.
Continue taking turns until time is called.
When time is called, we will switch maps with another group.  You need to practice with lots of different maps!
Alternate drill:
roll the dice, tell your partner how to get to the location and your PARTNER moves the hot wheel car per your directions.  Get it right or your partner falls off the map!
4.  You will have a speaking assessment in class with your teacher - using a map of the teacher's choosing, you will roll the dice THREE times and tell how to get to those places in French.

Bonne Chance!
