8:50am EST - WELCOME/INTRODUCTIONS

Log on, meet the speakers, and get rockin' ready for a great French teachers' PD party conference.

9:00am-9:30am EST - ROCK YOUR FRENCH READING

Reading is an important way to enhance the other strands. Teach students to stretch their French vocabulary and learn new structures by engaging them in reading. Walk away with a differentiated centre package and other tools. Speaker: Tammy Aiello - Canada (Session in: English/French)

9:45am-10:15am EST - FRENCH FASHION EMPIRES

Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Hermès. History. Controversy. Obsession. French culture like you've never considered it before. Speaker: Towela Okwudire, USA (Session in: English/French)

10:30am-11:00am EST - ROCK YOUR FRENCH LISTENING & SPEAKING

Easy to upload. Quick to assess. More French listening and speaking please! That is the cry of every French teacher. Helping our students become functional in French conversation is back! Walk away with hours of tools to engage your students for years to come. Let's look at different tools from Educorock that you can grab for free with your swag bag $50 credit! Speaker: Steven "ÉTIENNE" Langlois, Canada

11:15am-11:45am EST - ROCK YOUR ASYNCHRONOUS CLASSES

Face it - most of us learned to teach in a traditional setting - for face to face instruction. This spring, schools worldwide participated in the biggest educational experiment ever! With predictions of a return to distance teaching - or at the very least, hybrid teaching - we need to be prepared for anything! Although the presenter's examples will be from his elementary French classes, teachers of all levels will see asynchronous lessons design that rocks! Speaker: Nathan Lutz, USA (Session in English/French)

12:00pm-12:30pm EST - Incorporating the Francophone World (beyond Europe)

Looking through the lens of thematic units. Polynésie française = écologie, Sénégal = femmes engagées. Host: Catherine Ousselin, USA

12:45pm-1:00pm EST - CONFERENCE KAHOOT FOR PRIZES!

The crowd cheers ENCORE! ENCORE! And the band comes back on stage with prizes for your SWAG BAGS. All attendees are invited to play this conference finale. Host: Steven "ÉTIENNE" Langlois
