Explore the world of heroes and legends in the French speaking world through interdisciplinary units which provide a path for learners to investigate and interact with cultural competence in the target language. Lessons on the scientific heroes Marie Curie and Jacques Cousteau, historical figure Olympes de Gouges, and feminist writer George Sand are shared with participants. The lessons provide examples of opportunities to use authentic materials in our classrooms, and to develop critical thinking skills while investigating the people who shaped the world of today. Participants have time to discuss application of this concept for their own unique language learners.
