Last Friday in my French 3 Honors’ class we constructed our own pinhole eclipse viewer in preparation for today’s eclipse. To make our first cross-curricular activity relevant to our French class, I provided students with step by step instructions in French and basic vocabulary around the phenomena. After reading the instructions in groups and checking for understanding, students traced, cut, glued and assembled their viewer out of a cereal box en français.
It was a fun experience for the students to figure out instructions in French, make their viewer, and share with classmates this special moment.
As for me, I am looking forward to incorporating cross-curricular activities in my units!
