Natalie au quebec
Natalie au Québec is the first theme we see in grade 6. In this theme Natalie Tanaki, a 12 year old Vancouver girl travels to Québec. Students will focus on language comprehension strategies they may have already been introduced to in grades 4 and 5 and apply these in a more conscious way. They identify problems Natalie might have as she spends two weeks living with the Tremblay family and attending school in French. They discover strategies Natalie uses to speak, understand, pronounce and read french, and they practise using the same strategies in a variety of communicative situations. Finally, they are led to consider how these strategies might be useful to them as they learn French in class.
The Gr.6 class wil be working on a unit called Natalie au
