Rationale:
In Core French, it is important to incorporate all 4 strands of the curriculum into each lesson and unit.
It is important to give them an opportunity to read, write, listen and speak in each class. This unit is
intended to be hands on and relatable to the students. Not only does this unit reinforce spontaneous,
authentic conversations and interactions in French, but it incorporates financial literacy, and can be
implemented to coincide with the fractions and decimals unit.
