Il Gufo Che Aveva Paura del Buio

My Italian 4/4H students (11th graders) are currently reading this book Il Gufo Che Aveva Paura del Buio by Jill Tomlinson and loving it! It kind of reminds me of a contemporary version of Le Petit Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Just as the little prince travels from planet to planet in search of love, the baby barn owl Tombolo (Plop) searches reasons to overcome his fear of the darkness and asks various characters their opinions. This is the very first book my 11th graders are reading in Italian.

AP Italian Presentational Speaking Tasks

When my students completed an exit survey, they felt they were well  prepared for the AP Italian and Culture Exam but they wanted more practice for Part 4 Presentational Speaking Cultural Comparison so I made these to use in my class this year to facilitate my life and the lives of other teachers. The tasks complement the Immagina textbook but even if you aren't using this textbook for your AP class you can easily use these tasks because the topics overlap with the AP Italian Language and Culture exam.

Integrating contemporary Algerian R & B music in the French Classroom

Integrating contemporary Algerian R & B Music in the French classroom

By:  Lorraine Sabio

             

   

     “How can you make a great class even better/”  asked  my principal during a post observation conference.   “Music!” I responded.  It seemed logical since many of my honors students at  a suburban school located on Long Island, New York were talented musicians. Little did he know that I was a bit apprehensive about doing this. Playing music had been prohibited in a previous district.  Only  textbook CDs  were allowed and immensely disliked by the students.

       I was ecstatic to find an open minded administration who allowed me to have unblocked status on the internet.   I searched for contemporary Francophone music with clean lyrics that I could use in various ways with my students.   New, young, emerging French- Algerian female R & B (Rhythm and Blues) vocalists such as Kenza Farah, Sheryfa Luna and Zaho kept resurfacing to stimulate my interest.  They were a steep contrast to the Algerian women I had seen portrayed in the movie Fille de Keltoum (2001) by Mehdi Charef  [i]where a young woman returns to Algeria from Switzerland in search of the mother she had never known.  I wanted my classroom to be inclusive of the Francophone world, to reflect my state’s curriculum and to emphasize multicultural lessons in lieu of being the conventional Eurocentric French teacher.   I found these artists to be perfect for my students to relate to because they are their contemporaries.

While reading the 19^th century novel Notre Dame de Paris by Victor Hugo in an AP class, two songs helped me bring the setting of Medieval Paris to life.

     CHANSON: “ Au Cœur de la Rue” by Kenza Farah

      In order to practice for the AP speaking portion of the exam, students were given two questions to prepare within an approximate minute and a half time frame.  I wanted them to demonstrate the following understandings:  social class and ethnicity similarities and differences between people of Medieval Paris and contemporary life in France.

   CHANSON:   « Je Représente » by Kenza Farah   [ii]

     Students completed the lyrics with the missing fifty five geographical locations- most of them Francophone cities or countries. Since this is an intermediate class the first letter of each place was given to them to facilitate listening comprehension in class.  Then they had to categorize these places into French cities, Francophone countries in Europe, French speaking countries in Africa and other French speaking Polynesian countries. 

CHANSON: « Il Avait Les Mots » by Sheryfa Luna  [iii]

              I used this song to reinforce the imperfect and present perfect tenses in my intermediate and advanced classes.  I simply removed all of the fifty verbs from the song and had students listen several times to replace the verbs in the correct forms.   The subject matter of the song was also discussed in an AP class during a unit on Personal Relationships.

      Ideally, in a language laboratory or computer room setting students may work at their own pace stopping the song, rewinding or fast forwarding etc.  Www.youtube.com also has this same feature for internet use.

CHANSON: «  La Roue Tourne » by Zaho  [i]

     This song can be used in a low intermediate class to reinforce regular and irregular verbs in the present indicative.  The lyrics are easy to follow and comprehend. Additionally, a comparison with the « Roue du Pilori » scene when discussing the protagonist Quasimodo in Notre Dame de Paris [ii]was also made in a more advanced class. In this scene, Quasimodo is placed in the pillory, a round wooden framework, similar to a wheel on a post with holes for the head and hands.  He is exposed to public scorn in the main square as punishment for a slight misunderstanding with a policeman.  In  Medieval Paris, the location for such mockery was la Place de Greve.

      In conclusion, these budding artists and their music have made teaching and learning French very stimulating for my classes. Most students were very receptive to them.  Some students even downloaded their favorite songs onto their personal Ipods.  Hats off to the R & B singers of Algerian origin!  May they continue to enlighten a spark in my students!
