Since you are studying French, your class is exploring all the places in the world where French is spoken – you might travel to these places one day!

• Following are 12 components that will make up the research project. Please choose at least 10 of these, including #12.

• Your project will be in the form of a Booklet with a very attractive cover stating the name of your country, your name and class period.

• The interior pages will be organized into sections covering the components. Don’t forget to use pictures. Double-space if you type, otherwise please write neatly.

• Be prepared to share highlights of your country with the class.
