Objectives Familiarize students with the geography of the French West Indies Teach students more about Martinique through a virtual exploration of the island Practice the passé composé and the imparfait Notes You may wish to brainstorm with students keywords in French that will help direct them to French-language Web sites to complete this WebQuest. In this activity, students are asked to use the Internet to gather information about Martinique. The French used on some of the sites may be difficult for students. Remind them that, thought they are exploring French-language Web sites, they can just skim the text to find important information. Students will probably have to visit more than one site to gather all the information they need. This activity can become a game if done in teams. The goal is to be the first team to gather all the information. The link to the Answer Key for page 2 of the students' worksheet is at the top of this page. Expansion If students are able to print photos, have them prepare a travel brochure about their favorite town (village, beach) in Martinique. Display the brochures in the classroom. Have students vote on which tourist site is the most interesting, beautiful, etc.
