Students from one class, several classes, or the whole school can participate in preparing for and running the “café”. Some activities that you might want to do with the students include: - preparing songs, skits, magic acts, dances, etc. to perform for guests during the café; making placemats for the tables; making centrepieces for the tables; making food (frozen croissants can be purchased ahead of time and baked on the day of the café); preparing posters, flyers, menus, invitations; planning costumes, if necessary; practising vocabulary and phrases necessary during the “café”, if students will be acting as servers: “Bienvenue à notre café français.” “Voulez-vous me suivre, s'il vous plaît?” “Voici votre table, madame, monsieur.” “Qu'est-ce que vous voulez boire? Du café, du jus, ou de l'eau?” “Nous avons des croissants et de la confiture aux fraises.” The following are some suggestions for planning a “Café français” at your school: C C C C C C C C Well in advance, decide on a location, get permission (if necessary), find out the cost of the materials and supplies you will need, and request funds from the principal, School Council, Parent-Teacher Association, or other source. Consider approaching local businesses for donations of food or other supplies. You might wish to establish a French club who will be responsible for the entertainment and begin practising three or four weeks ahead of time. Be sure to invite parents/guardians, board personnel and other members of the community. Make the local media aware of the event, so that they can film or take photos in accordance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. Take orders for croissants in advance so that enough can be purchased for the event (from a grocery store or bakeshop). Arrange a schedule for the classes that will be attending the “café” and make all staff aware. After the “café”, remember to thank all those who were involved (or have students make French thank you cards). During the “Café français”, you may wish to have the students participate in the following types of activities: C Place dialogue cards on each table. Each card can have a short conversation that might take place at a “café” that the participants can read. You might also want to supply some useful vocabulary, or some questions for one participant to ask another. Providing this type of model helps to ensure that French will be spoken at the “café”. CFH05b(CUL1-CUL33)Feb2005 CUL.10 February 2005 CULTURE C Set up an artists' street in or near the “café”, similar to those in Montréal or Québec City, or at Montmartre. Have easels and paint (or pastels) available for the younger students to use, and have older students demonstrating and/or helping the younger ones. C Have each class prepare a presentation to perform. C Have a French performer provide the entertainment as part of the “Café français”. C Enlist the help of other staff members to act as the “maître/maîtresse d'hôtel”, servers, etc. Students will enjoy seeing other teachers and staff involved.

The city’s population was often put to the test by winter’s hardships, and brought this popular tradition to life by inventing the winter party that warmed up the hearts of all its revellers. Interrupted by two wars, then the economic crisis of 1929, the Carnival was sporadically resurgent until the second half of the century. In 1954, the context of the economical development of the Old Capital, a group of business people re-launched the festivities. Bonhomme was born and elected the representative of the event that year. The first official edition of the Quebec Winter Carnival took place in 1955. The Carnival has evolved into a wonderful celebration for the entire Quebec population, and is an important vehicle for tourist and economical activity in the city. From one winter to the next, the Carnival’s programme of activities was enriched. Even more popular activities have been added, such as winter sports, snow sculptures, and activities based on the Québecois folkloric lifestyle, such as canoe and dogsled races. The Quebec Carnival is the largest winter carnival in the world today, and is third on the top list of Carnivals, following the famous carnivals in Rio and New Orleans.

CFH05b(CUL1-CUL33)Feb2005 CUL.29 February 2005 CULTURE Twinning with a Class A Collaborative Exchange Project How would you like to visit and discover another area with your class, en français, without having to leave the classroom? You can do just that by engaging in "Le réseau de la boîte d'artefacts"! It's a unique, motivating way to kick off the new school year. Here's how to go about it. "La boîte d'artefacts" It is a fun, collaborative exchange project that uses an integrated teaching approach. Your class is twinned with another class. The goal of the project is for each class to prepare a collection of items or artifacts which represent their school, city, town or region. They place all the artifacts in a box or container and send it to the class with whom they are twinned. The class which receives the box must try to guess where it came from. There are 23 clues and artifacts included that the students can choose to prepare. Each twinned class must prepare a box and will also receive a box of artifacts from their twin class. Preparing a box of artifacts and trying to guess the origin of the box they receive develops research, organizational, cooperative learning, problem-solving and language skills. The entire project is completed in French, and can be used at both elementary and secondary levels. Suggested Procedures for Starting “The Artifact Box” Timeline of the project: 6-8 weeks minimum (including mailing time and response time). It is suggested that ample time be devoted to the project in order to allow sufficient time for research and the writing process in French. 1. Pick a class that you teach to be involved in this project. 2. Discuss the project with your administrator. Determine how the shipping costs of the box and correspondences will be paid (e.g., school budget, School Council). 3. Decide whether you wish to do an exchange a. with another class in your school; b. with a class from another school within your Board; c. with a class from another Board in Ontario or from another province in Canada; d. with a class from another country. 4. Contact the teacher to confirm participation in the project and to establish the following: CFH05b(CUL1-CUL33)Feb2005 CUL.30 February 2005 CULTURE a. b. c. d. e. the date the boxes will be sent by both classes; whether you wish that your box and/or contents of the box be returned to you; expectations for student work (neatness, amount of in-class time devoted to the project, clues written in French, editing and revision of French language errors); the return date of the evaluation sheets to the students who created the box; follow-up activities to the exchange (e.g., letter writing between classes; field trip to meet penpals). 5. Inform parents/guardians of the project. You may wish to send home the sample letter provided. Getting parents/guardians involved early will assist the students in finding the appropriate artifacts. 6. It is suggested that the students complete the written component of the project at school during class time. 7. Determine whether students will work on artifacts individually, in pairs or in small groups. You may wish to use the clue summary sheet provided. 8. Once you have received your box please be sure to send a thank-you letter confirming the receipt of your box (see sample letter) along with the evaluation sheets filled out by your students. 9. When you receive your box you may wish to distribute the artifacts amongst your students and have them present them orally to the class. CFH05b(CUL1-CUL33)Feb2005 CUL.31 February 2005 CULTURE Here's a sample of one of the 23 clues you could include in your box. 1. Premier indice: La météo Trouve un journal local. # # Découpe des exemples de la météo. Découpe la date aussi. Cache le nom de la ville! e.g., lundi, le 8 janvier, 2004. Colle-les sur un carton. Plastifie le carton. Here's a sample of the blank card that a student would fill out, in French, to describe their artifact. ? ? CARTE D'INDICE ? ? INDICE NUMÉRO: CET ARTEFACT TE PERMET D'IDENTIFIER NOTRE: INDICE: CONTRIBUTION DE: (NOMS) CFH05b(CUL1-CUL33)Feb2005 CUL.32 February 2005 CULTURE Variations There are many ways that you may choose to conduct this project. Here's a list of some ideas: C The Core French teacher collaborating with the regular classroom teacher to create a bilingual box. C 2 classes - within the same school (prepare artifacts that describe your class); within the same school Board (prepare artifacts that describe your school); from different school Boards or regions in Ontario; from different provinces; from different countries. C Each student in a class prepares an individual box about themselves and exchanges it with another student in the class. C Each student or class prepares a box about a country and exchanges it as part of a multicultural project. C Each student prepares clues describing a character from a novel being studied, and students guess the character. CFH05b(CUL1-CUL33)Feb2005 CUL.33 February 2005
