French- Les monuments de Paris (The monuments of Paris) Presentation
Do you need an organized powerpoint of Parisian monuments? This is a presentation of 83 slides that shows the progression of Paris and Parisian monuments beginning with the Celtic village of Lutèce up to the present day.
This presentation is entirely in basic French and gives the dates for the construction of most major monuments, as well as giving some information on major time periods. I've also included maps of Paris so that you can see how Paris has changed throughout the ages.

Experience

Teaching style
In French I err more towards the communicative style of teaching and learning, though I feel that a good solid base in grammar is also important. I tend to use lots of visuals, stories, gestures (I am learning more and more about the AIM method, which I feel has a lot of great elements, though I wouldn't say that I use it all of the time.), games, songs, and art. I believe that learning should be active and engaging for all of my students.
It's important for me to find a balance between keeping my classes interesting and creative (sometimes downright crazy), yet also providing a clear structure for those who need it. I'm very thankful to be teaching a subject that provides so much flexibility and can open up so many doors to my students.
