Presentation on French Festivals

As the unit tests end, the students of DP 1 have started a new topic in French and it is about
festivals. This topic is essential for our intercultural understanding. Festivals play a major role in
different cultures and this will allow the students to view what is celebrated around the world.
We were given a task to create a presentation on a festival from European culture and our own
culture. It is also important to learn about our own culture.

There were a variety of different festivals talked about in the presentations. As we had to
describe the festivals in French with focus on the traditions, history, food and activities, it was
not only enlightening for international mindedness, it was also excellent writing practice in
French. After each presentation we were given feedback on how to improve our writing and how
it can help us score better in the exams. She also made sure to point out critical mistakes to
look out for in writing. This was an exciting activity and it was really impactful for us and I believe
everyone has a better understanding of the main vocabulary to describe festivals and the
criteria to maintain when writing text in french.
