Enjoy some lesson plans for class, hundreds of videos organized by theme, and websites, songs, and additional resources. We will be adding more lesson plans and resources in the future.
Here is a complimentary article from Petit Journal Francophone about Modou Fall, environmental activist in Senegal. Lainé wrote the original article in 2022 and has now added two short summaries and comprehension/reflection questions, to match the new PJF format. She has given Vive her “enthusiastic permission to share freely.”
We have curated a list of common vocabulary to accompany a study of environmental issues, especially those as described by Senegalese environmental activist, Modou Fall. There are also links to videos about recycling and the environment in Senegal, as well as other useful resources for teaching about Senegal and the francophone world.
Use this song & lesson as a warm-up for more advanced students, as part of a greater unit on education, the importance of thanking others, World Teachers Day / Journée Mondiale des Enseignant·s (October 5), for AATF National French Week (beginning of November), or le Mois de la Francophonie (in March).
French teachers can enjoy this free activity to teach about Senegalese teranga. This includes a BBC article in English, with activities to complete in English or French. Integrate this into an existing unit, or save for an emergency lesson to do with all of your classes.
