The videos — available to watch below — exemplify Francophone culture. Students wrote their scripts (in French), filmed in front of a green screen, and did video and sound editing. Researching and creating the videos allowed students to discover French music, food, countries, and clothing. In making the videos, students increased their language proficiency and enhanced their leadership, teamwork, and multimedia technology skills.
French students nationwide submitted more than 90 videos to the judging panel.
