Design your own project: Bon appétit!
To wrap up your second year of French, you will be designing your own final project. Your project will connect to our favorite theme – food! – but it is your opportunity to dig deeper into an area that interests you. You may do this project alone or in groups of two or three people. You will present and turn in your project on the day of your final exam.

 Explores food and cuisine traditions or culture of the francophone world

 Includes written component that is typed
 Minimum word count: 150 words (per person) – please include a total word count
