French 5 Honors is the highest course offering of French at Wissahickon High School.
The students enrolled in this course are intelligent and motivated seniors.
Although still in high school, they yearn for the future and look forward to
their lives at college and beyond.
With this in mind, I have adapted the curriculum and integrated technology as much
as I believe possible with the resources available.
Follow the links to learn what types of technology I use and how
they have aided
my students in the learning of French and the cultures that speak it.
