This Monday, we taught the kids about the other countries' culture such as Canada, Europe, or Africa. We focused the teaching especially on countries that speak French such as France, Canada and Cameroun. the fact that i am from Camroon, i thought the kids about Africa culture, and i wanted them to know that Africa is not a country but a continent because many americans think that Africa is a country. And that Africa contains many countries such as Cameroun, MAli, Gabon, South Africa etc. I also taught them that people speak French in Cameroon because it has been colonized by France. the kids seemed less agitated this time maybe because the key players were not there. that means they paid more attention than the other days of teaching. The fact that it was the last day of teaching, we have had a food party at the end and the kids really enjoyed eating french cheese, chocolates and canada drink "orangina".

I just wanted to state" that I, Benjamin Casey, an American know that Africa is not a country." But, I can see other people that I know think that Africa is a country, namely the people that can't tell me where London is. I just want to thank you for taking this course. I really feel that you brought a different dynamic to our teaching that wouldn't have been there if it was just Maddie, Sarah, and myself. So, thank you. I hope that everything goes well for you in the future.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your last class was a success! I'm sure the kids loved all the different food and the culture aspect as well. I think it's important that younger children especially have the opportunity to learn about other countries. They were probably just as surprised as our students were to learn that French was spoken in African countries like Cameroun too!
