While in Noisy-le-Roi, I will teach a lesson on American Culture, which I had a hard time drafting because I honestly have no idea what non-Americans would find interesting about our culture. Naturally, I wanted to test the waters and figure out what my future students might find interesting. I asked Valérie, my host-mother, to ask her four children what they would like to learn more about. Here are some of the general topics and themes that Valérie relayed back to me:
— Is there a fashion phenomenon in the States like in France? (French teenagers judge a lot others upon the the clothes that they wear.
— Are uniforms compulsory in all private american schools?
— What are americans favorite sports?
— What style of music do american teenagers listen to?
— Do you have any canteens in schools in witch they served complete meals? (Starter, main course and dessert)
— How are the american schools in the states? (architecturally)
— How are the kids punished at schools?
— What main languages do kids learn at schools? (French? Spanish?…)
— What are there compulsory languages taught schools?
— How many hours of class do you have each day, and at what time do kids finish school?
— How long last your vacations?
— What do americans think about french people?
