French Students Explore Quebec and Montreal
This summer French teachers Marti Larson and Cat Novak traveled by train (from Windsor) to Quebec City and Montreal with twenty-four 7th- and 8th-grade French students. Highlights of Quebec City included touring fortifications, learning about the French and English struggle for control of Quebec, and experiencing a formal English Tea service with actors playing the roles of English soldiers. On the way to Montreal, the group stopped at Canyon Sainte-Anne, a gorge filled with a rushing river, waterfalls, and suspension bridges. A visit to Old Town Montreal, the modern underground shopping areas, and the University of Montreal concluded the Canadian adventure.
“Madame Novak and I had a marvelous time immersing our students in the language and culture of Montreal and Quebec,” said Madame Larson. “It may sound trite, but it’s true: a great time was had by all!”
