Thematic units (3 mini-units) La Belgique / La Suisse / Monaco - content-based / FR 1

Contextualization. Use the Grimaldi Palace to learn the room in the house; Belgian chocolates to do the vocabulary of food and review number and telling time with Swiss clocks.

Small countries, big histories. The Grimaldi Palace is a wonderful way to practice the rooms in the house and proves the strength of content based learning! So much better than a pretend house! Students compare their homes to a grand palatial residence.

Switzerland is the land of watches. This unit allows you to review numbers both to tell time and to introduce or review the European currency, the euro.

We always teach the vocabulary of food. Let's start with chocolates. So delicious! So Belgian!
