Module 9: Amusons-nous!
In this module, you learned about leisure time, negative words, the present tense of regular -ir verbs, and Tahiti. Get ready, because now you and your imaginary family of five are going to tour Tahiti. While you are there, you need to recreate your experience, and blog about your travels. A blog is an online journal, which allows authors to create entries detailing different topics.
Your blog entry will include the French names of your family members and descriptions of seven activities you do while visiting Tahiti. In addition, your writing must use the -ir verbs choisir and finir, and the -er verb, aimer. You will begin your travels in Pape'ete, and then plan out the rest of your travel throughout the country.
Your blog entries should meet the following criteria:
- You need to create at least one entry for every activity you do in Tahiti.
- You must visit at least three cities in the country.
- Each entry should be five to eight sentences in length.
- Each entry should include three to four facts about the featured activity, along with expressive words or phrases to describe your adventures.
- Your blog should be written in the first person, as if you were a traveler in Tahiti.
- Each blog entry should be accompanied by at least one image. You may draw or design these images, or you may use copyright-free digital images that you find online.
- You should write your entries with the intention of informing and motivating readers to travel to Tahiti.
