L’hôtel de glace French reading activity

This Hotel de Glace French reading comprehension activity will teach your students about the history and architecture of a hotel in Québec made entirely of ice.  It is suitable for novice-high/intermediate-low students with teacher guidance and higher level students to work independently.  If you teach AP French, this reading can be useful in giving your students practice reading non-fiction articles for the interpretive section of the test.  The reading can lead to discussion or writing activities to include the other two modes of communication.
