Grade 5s – continue their preparations for the French May – invitations, advertisements and display posters. There are lots of great and creative ideas seen so far! Remember to make your display poster simple and to the point. Some key questions to ask yourself as you design and plan: what do I want to teach the visitors who visit my table? How will I teach the visitors? Have I practiced my lesson with my group? Is there a treat or little prize for the visitors?
