In this charming program we join Sophie and Pierre as they spend a day in Paris visiting some world famous monuments – the Louvre, Arc de Triomphe, Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame. They take a Batobus on the Seine and walk the renowned Champs Elysees, stopping for lunch at an outdoor cafe. Throughout the program we hear simple French in practical situations, with the option of displaying French subtitles on the DVD. Through these experiences, we learn the importance of prior knowledge when interpreting meaning and deducing meaning from context. There is a strong focus on the interdependence of language and culture.
Grade levels: Upper Elementary (4-6)
