Preparation:
• Search the Internet for information on French television using a search engine or a
statistics site like Quid (www.Quid.fr). Narrow your research by choosing one or two of
the tasks below:
• Find the types of channels available to French television viewers and what kinds of
clientele they service. (cable, satellite, chaînes hertziennes, chaînes étrangères,
chaînes francophones). Select certain channels with which to continue your research.
• Investigate the kinds of programming available on the various channels. What are the
popular programs on these channels? Determine what audience various channels attract.
• Research the number of hours of television viewed by different population groups: by age,
gender, living area, etc.
• What American programs are popular in France? Are the titles translated? Are the
programs in English or in French?
• What kinds of programming are available on popular French channels? What are some
program names?
• Clip or download pertinent pictures to place on your poster.
• Prepare charts, graphs, and figures of information gathered in your research.
• Write descriptions or captions for your charts, graphs, or figures.
• Have your partner edit your work, then revise your text.

Un mystère à résoudre
Block Scheduling Copymasters
Projet 2
Working with a partner, create a mystery that you will ask your classmates to solve. To create
a mystery, you will need to work in a different order than in solving one. First you invent the
crime, then the perpetrator, the suspects and their alibis, the clues, and finally the setting.
Will you create an unsolved mystery?
Materials: a poster board, colored pens, scissors, tape or glue, magazines, access to a
bilingual dictionary
• Work together with your partner to create a mystery: is what happened a burglary (un
cambriolage)? a theft (un vol)? Where and when did the crime take place?
• Decide what character committed the crime, why, and under what circumstances.
• Invent a strong motive and a weak alibi for your perpetrator.
• Invent other suspects and give them alibis for the time of the crime. Provide one or two
suspects with a motive. Can you make one or two suspects appear to be guilty while
keeping their alibis solid? Perhaps through motive?
• Finally, decide on a setting.
• Write a paragraph that describes what happened in the passé composé. Find magazine
pictures to enhance your description.
• Write the alibis for all the suspects including the perpetrator. Be sure that they appear similar,
yet individual; that some appear to be guilty. Find magazine pictures for your suspects.
• Write the solution to the crime.
• Edit each other’s French.
• Ask a classmate to read and try to solve your mystery.
• Organize your poster layout to make it appealing. Be sure to put your solution upside-down
or behind shutters.
• Attach materials to the poster.
• Present your mystery to the class.
• Display your poster in the classroom.

Work in groups of three or four. The teacher will give you a set of slips of paper that will
serve as dominoes. Distribute the dominoes three each among members of the group and put
the rest in a pile. The first player will lay down one domino, earn a point, and take another
domino from the pile. The next player must lay a domino that fits against the domino on the
board, on either side. If so, s/he wins a point and takes another domino. If not, s/he loses the
turn and gains no points. Continue until all the dominoes are played and there is a highscoring winner.

Write your questions on the back of the poster. Switch posters with another group. Read the

Un jeu de loto
This is a class activity. On a slip of paper, write a sentence in French about one of your
classmates having done a specific activity (use the passé composé). Try to make your
sentence as original as possible. Then take your sentence to the teacher to check for
accuracy and to be sure that it is one of a kind. Then learn your sentence and hand the slip to
the teacher. Circulate in the classroom, have other students tell you their statements, and
write their statements in random squares to fill your grid. When all grids are filled, the
teacher will use the slips for a game of lotto.
