Everything about Le Voyage de sa Vie project**

You will work with your partners to complete a project on the entire novel. The project will have several components, which are listed below. All materials to be passed out must be typed. You will need photocopies for each person in the class (12) and one for me

1. Cultural information from the novel • Culture Describe the region where the action takes place (Suisse) Research this region to find out the following information. • Sights /regions • Activities/sports practiced in the country or region • History of the regions/cities (important dates)

2. Plot information • You need to use Voice Thread or a Power Point presentation to re-tell the story briefly in your own words

3. Character Analysis Complete flash cards for the main characters in the novel. Each flash card should include two to four sentences describing each character. (Include a summary of important situations and their reactions)

4. An oral presentation to be completed during class The purpose of your oral presentation is to review the information with the class. You can choose any format you like, but I suggest having either one long activity or several short activities. You have half a class period (about 20 minutes) to review with the class. This time includes any set up or clean up you may need to do, so try to keep things as simple as possible, so that you have the maximum amount of time to review. You can play a game like jeopardy or pictionary, or simply ask oral questions in front of the class. Try to include as much information from the novel as possible in the review, rather than focusing on only one aspect of the story.
