Use the unit as a jumping off point to start your year off comprehensibly! This unit is especially useful if:

You are required to teach a textbook curriculum but prefer CI – it follows some of the most common sequencing found in current French textbooks.
You want to do CI but you need a little bit of structure.
You are required to give a common district final – it covers many of the things found in most first semester courses.
