Objective

  • Familiarize students with the geography of the French West Indies
  • Teach students more about Martinique through a virtual tour of the island

Notes

  • In this activity, students are asked to gather information about Martinique by visiting several Web sites. The French at some of the sites is difficult. Tell students to skim the text for the important information.
  • Students have to visit more than one site to gather all the information they need.
  • This activity can become a game if done in teams. The goal is to be the first team to gather all the information.
  • The Answer Key for the quiz Vous connaissez la Martinique? in Surfons! on the students' worksheet is password protected. Your teacher password is located on the title page of your Teacher's Wraparound Edition. The password is the last word on the page. When prompted, enter this word for BOTH your password and username. If you have any questions, please e-mail us using the "Contact Us" button in the navigation bar.

Expansion

  • If students are able to download photos and print them out, have them prepare a travel brochure about their favorite town (village, beach) in Martinique. Display the brochures in the classroom. Have students vote on which tourist site is the most interesting, beautiful, etc.
