Everyone uses transportation. There are so many modes of transportation around the world. In this unit, students organize an imaginary trip across Canada or between other French-speaking countries in the world. They use different modes of transportation for the various stages of their voyage. They create dialogues, and, finally, they write a travel log of their trip.
