Overview:
This activity developed by myBlueprint, encourages Post Intensive French students to discover French vocabulary related to a personal passion or hobby, and to reflect on strategies used to understand spoken and written French, by researching information on French speaking individuals who made a living in this field. Additionally, students will research an occupation in a field of interest, find a related post-secondary program that would match the occupation requirements and then practice their oral and written communication skills by creating a portfolio on myBlueprint that they will present to their peers.
