During the Francophonie Week, Mesrobian High School celebrated the celebration of the French language and the French-speaking world with a series of educational and social activities appropriate for each grade.
Students in grades 1 and 2 enjoyed the traditional French breakfast together, with croissants, Nutella crêpes, baguettes, pastries and orange juice. This social moment gave students the opportunity to discover the French culture through its unique flavors.
With the 3rd and 4th graders, creativity took the center stage through language and movement exercises. Divided into groups, students solved language drills. They formed letters in space with body movements and then formed sentences with them. The exercise was a unique way to learn through movement.
Finally, students in grades 5 and 6 competed in a quiz on figurative language, French proverbs and Francophonie, after watching YouTube videos over the weekend. It was a stimulating activity that strengthened the participants’ language skills while developing teamwork.
The week was also marked by the visit of writer Sabyl Ghoussoub, in the setup of an interesting “literary café” which provided students with rich and inspiring discussions on French literature.
Thus, the Francophonie Week was enriched with discoveries, sharing and a new enthusiasm towards the French language.
