The French Culture Points Project is a student-centered cultural project that puts students in the driver's seat! This was one of my students' favorite projects to complete because it let them explore their own interests. It was also one of my favorite to grade because each one was different!

Students pick from tasks relevant to them like music, cooking, history, etc. Each tasks has points assigned to it so they must complete enough of these small tasks to total up to the grade they would like to receive (generally 4-5 tasks).

This project worked great for middle school and lower levels of language but could be adapted to upper language levels as well.

Duration varies. I assigned this as a take-home project. Several tasks can be completed in school, but not all. We took a 90 minute block period to present to the class. Some classes where students brought in speakers lasted longer.

Includes rubric to total points gained for project.
