I am excited to announce that Nallenart's program for first year high school, L'art d'écrire, has gone to press. L'art d'écrire follows the Ontario curriculum guidelines for FSF1D, grade 9 advanced French.
More than just grammar lessons, vocabulary, and exercises, the content of the course is built around the theme of self-discovery. Students are challenged to examine their likes and dislikes, the uniqueness of their personalities, and their hopes and dreams for the future.
In addition to this, students begin to explore some of the classics of French literature, such as the famous play Cyrano de Bergerac and the novels of Jules Verne.
Sample Pages will be posted soon!

Bon Voyage 5: Jules Verne
Jules Verne was a writer ahead of his time. In 1865, over one hundred years before the first man landed on the moon, Jules Verne imagined such a trip in his novel De la Terre à la Lune, From the Earth to the Moon. Here are five examples of similarities between Verne's novel and the historical voyage:
Le voyage dans la Lune est entrepris par les Américains.
The trip was undertaken by Americans.
Le départ a lieu en Floride.
The departure took place in Florida.
Trois astronautes dans une capsule
Three astronauts in one capsule
Voyage d'une semaine
A week’s trip
Retour dans la mer après une orbite lunaire
Return into the sea (ocean) after a lunar orbit
You might have heard of these other famous Jules Verne novels:
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
Journey to the Center of the Earth

Bon Voyage 3: Around the World in 80 Days
In 1872, French author Jules Verne (1828-1905) wrote a fantastic novel that described the adventures of Phileas Fogg, a man who bet his colleagues that he could successfully travel all the way around the world in just eighty days. In the days before airplanes this would be a pretty remarkable, if not impossible feat. The story was very popular at the time and was translated into English the next year. Perhaps you might have seen one of several movie versions of the story, Around the World in Eighty Days.
Using your atlas or globe, describe a journey that someone could take today travelling all around the world. Try to involve as many different means of transportation as you can.
