French Film Festival: Teachers Wanted

First ever French Film Festival!  

Teachers wanted!!

The 2016 French Film Festival for high schools invites each participating school to create an informational video about their school and community.  I will publish all the links on a single page on this blog. Then, we all virtually watch the films together on the same day. It is a collaborative, team building project and will connect students to other learners.  This is not a competition, only a way for students to use memorized words and phrases on familiar topics to interact with communities of learners of the same target language: CMT.1.2 ACTFL

The Due Date will be December 9th and the Viewing Date will be on or around December 16th.  (This has been strategically planned around the holidays to keep students engaged during a distracting period.)  Sign-up by October 3rd.

Video Requirements:

• 2-3 students introduce the school, city, state, country, with maps or other technology to show the geography of "where you are"
• Students introduce themselves before speaking the first time. 
• 4-5 students present features of the school building and mention 1 activity they participate in at school. 
• 2-3 students present the eating options at school and describe their favorite school foods. 
• 3-4 students present a feature of their town and one thing they do there. 
• 2-3 students present different transportation to and from school and how they personally get to school. 
• 3-4 students should present the school day schedule and some classes offered. 
• Footage should be shown that highlights your school and your way of life. This can be edited together with fun music. 
• Video should be at least 4 minutes and no longer than 8 and shared on a browsers that can be easily viewed by any device in any country.
