Thank you for making these cultural readings! I offer my upper-level independent study students a “menu” of topics for their reading assignments so they can choose topics they are interested in, and I was really needing some sports-themed ones for my collection. My students have remarked that they like the format of your selections, and I appreciate the ease of use!
Bought this end of school year when my Intermediates were losing interest in Core French. It immediately got and kept their interest for the last few weeks of school. Merci for this unit!
Thank you for sharing this unit! All of my students love basketball and this unit finally got some of my “I hate French!” student’s engaged and interested.
