Unit 6 - Raconte-moi

Once upon a time... Legends and stories have been told since the beginning of civilization. Each culture has its own legends. Some attempt to explain natural phenomena, others encourage moral behaviour. In this unit, students discuss storytelling and the elements of a good story. For the Final Task, students create and present their own legends.
