Scavenger Hunt on Francophonie

Posted by: Sarah Moghtader

Communication and Culture using Francophone Authentic Resources

Skip to the end of this description for the Scavenger Hunt as it can be used in instruction independent of the resources below.

Photography is a vehicle for teaching communication and culture. Visual images relay so much information. I depend heavily on pictures in teaching. My goals have been to:

  • Use authentic resources that are respectful and positive for students to gain information about other cultures
  • Organize the lessons on a set of vocabulary so that there is repetition of terms that are being learned to promote increased fluency in communication
  • Choose themes that are engaging and interesting

To date I have added eight sets of Francophone resources to this site and I would like to list them here for your review before I add in two new resources that can be employed to solidify the learning of culture. All of what you will find below relies heavily on visual images.

Les Héros – African Americans – occupations
La rumba congolaise – RDC – clothing
Patrimoine – Haïti – places
Je suis de – Sénégal – identity and cultural products
Voyage aux Iles – Martinique – fruits and outdoor activities
Fêtes – Maroc – cultural practices on holidays
Coupe d’Afrique – Côte d’ivoire – transportation and soccer
Black Francophones (project)

After this sequence, students will have seen and read about culture in many different countries. Students can show their learning and keep learning with the following two new activities.
Scavenger Hunt – La Francophonie – People and Cultural Products
IMAGE – La Francophonie – Products and Perspectives

  • Activity/Game
  • Novice
  • Could be used by anyone
  • Not grammar-based
  • Francophone cultures and identities | Culture et identités francophones
  • Presentation (PowerPoint, Google Slides)
  • I attest that this is true
