Carnaval Project!
The 2020 Quebec Carnaval starts in Feb! Let's make our own!
In your groups, research the long and full history of the Carnaval de Quebec
•Research the history (who where what why when) of the activity you have chosen to present
•Decide how you will inform the class about your activity (and if you would like us to try the activity (please talk to McB about the safety and logistics of your plan well before you organize it).
•Write a step by step (procedural writing) about how patrons at the Carnaval would participate (how to do the activity) and what clothing and props/materials you or the patrons will need.
•Please incorporate a bilingual nature to your presentation. For example, if you choose to have slides or a Power Point Presentation, make the information bilingual. Be sure to emphasize the new vocabulary in your speaking.
NOTE: If you borrow information or wording from ANY source you MUST cite that source.
Have FUN. Enjoy- Carnaval comes only once a year! https://www.quebecregion.com/en/what-to-do/events/carnaval-de-quebec/
