Objectives Familiarize students with different regions of France Reinforce food vocabulary Discuss French cultural ideas about food and cheese Notes You may wish to brainstorm with students keywords in French that will help direct them to French-language Web sites to complete this WebQuest. Explain to students that la pâte refers to the actual substance or texture of the cheese. Le fromage à pâte cuite is cheese that has been heated, and le fromage à pâte molle is soft cheese. Another useful vocabulary word is croûte(crust). Advise students that they will not know all of the words on the Web sites they may explore. Students should concentrate on looking for cognates and words they know. Expansion Have students research and prepare a recipe that features French cheese. They can do this alone or in groups, in or out of class. Bring in some French cheeses, or have students bring them in, and label on a map where the cheeses are from.
