In this project, we created outfits made out of clothes found at our local thrift store. I got to learn how to use a sewing machine while creating an awesome outfit, and wrote a small description about my outfit in French. I then wrote an article about the evolution of the VW van where I learned a lot about a topic I’m very passionate about. We then put all of this into a magazine which turned out awesome! In order to afford these magazines, we sold crepes which was a blast and enabled us to have an amazing dinner. You can view our magazine with this link.
Un Petit Livre
In this project, we were tasked with creating a small handbook, containing images and descriptions of those images in French. I choose to talk about 2 things I’m passionate about. Skiing and cars as shown below. I also chose to create 2 completely random characters that I found interesting.
I enjoyed this project greatly. I was able to develop my skill of the French language while being able to write about things I resonate with. I feel that the creative freedom I was given resulted in greater improvement, compared to having a structured class. Unfortunately, I didn’t use my own images because I didn’t feel that I had the skill to draw what I wanted to draw. I see this as an area of improvement; being able to incorporate my artistic skill in my school projects, but for that to happen, I’ll have to take the time to learn how to draw things in a better way.
