Thank you, Amanda, for posting this url. I added it to my cybrary. -Christine WW2 information from the French government. Autumn
- www.parisdailyphoto.com Great resource for pictures of authentic daily life in France. Updated daily. (may contain some mature material appropriate for high school but up to you to decide for middle school...) Lisa M.
Fabulous blog Lisa! It is as if I were back in Paris where I long to be again. I will most definitely use this highly cultural blog with my middle schoolers next year. Amanda
Loved it!! Although it's written in English, I think it would be extremely productive in my classes. I plan on using it with my lower level classes to expose them to many aspects of the French Culture, and show them the different facets of life in Paris. Merci. Nadia.
The photos are a great tool to teach the culture of La vie quotidienne en Paris. It is a good way for them to 'cyber' travel. Autumn
I spent at least 15 minutes exploring this site, its links and comments. The writer of this page, not only takes beautiful photos, but also provided great cultural information. Christine
- http://www.bonjourdefrance.com/ Good ressource of reading comprehension samples, grammar explanations and activities, thematic vocabulary lessons, and games. Nadia
The graphics are bright and engaging. I like the fact that the words are only in French with a picture and not an English word. AutumnThe amount of sound files available is incredible! This is a great site to give to students who are always looking for more to do! Christine - http://www.lesclesjunior.com/ is a site based on the popular news magazine Les Clés de l’Actualité Junior. It has articles that are of manageable length, are challenging, and interesting. Nadia
I really liked the condensed form in which this site presents the news... easy to adapt and use for a variety of ages. Lisa M.Love it! My favorite part of this site is the section titled "Récré-info Chez les dingos". I love talking about crazy world events with my students in French. They learn fun vocabulary and are always focused on listening. There are also some great articles and lessons for our classes. I am going to encourage my students to check this site out weekly. Merci! Christine - http://www2.adeater.com/ This site includes countless of commericals from various Francophone countries. These commercial could be used for oral compehension or as a cultural component. Christine Update: This site is currently under construction. Hopefully, it will be back up soon.
I love this site! Merci beaucoup Christine! I cannot wait to use this with my 8th graders next year. Amanda

Great websites to use with higher level classes for reading comorehension of articles to follow the events and politics in France. Nadia Exercises for students to use to supplement what is being covered in the classroom ( grammar exercises, Linda) There is a page where you can create your own assignments for your students. Autumn
Hey oui Autumn la conjugaison c'est moi. Great site. LindaI knew of this site from awhile ago, but had forgotten it... great resource for games, but also to create your own things in very little time. Lisa M.This site may be of use to you. It is a French teacher's page based on the concept of virtually moving to Paris. There are some links for resources that you could purchase, but at least the ideas are free:
This is a good website for students to discover Paris through text and pictures. It shows most of the monuments of Paris, and great pictures of Paris at night and during the day. OHHHH PARIS!!!!! NadiaThe photos are beautiful and the perspectives are fun! I know I will use this site next year! What a find! Merci. Christine
