SHOP/FRENCH/JAPANESE SHOP: Let's take apart and put back together a motorcycle for the month. They'll also visit the scrapyard and see what materials they can get to build their own scooter/motorbike from the materials available.
FRENCH: Well, France is on a huge ass strike right now so we're not heading there, guys. Hope everyone likes the cold because we're heading up to Montreal. Before going everyone needs to research Montreal, Quebec, and something about the area that strikes their fancy. On Friday (6th), there will be a guided tour through various parts of the city before the group is able to head off to enjoy different parts on their own. Next Wednesday (11th) there will be a trip back to the city but they'll be hitting up a local restaurant to continue practicing ordering food and the like before getting time to research in the city for their research project. The last week of school before break everyone needs to present their project in whatever format they want and in as much French as they can.
JAPANESE: Picking one city to research the history of in Japan, look at the cultural shifts throughout the centuries, and how closed and open boarders have altered the Japanese family and lifestyle. There will be a trip next Friday (13th) to whichever city was picked!
