Presentation at the BCTLA in October 2015


I was honoured to be asked to present at the BCTLA conference in 2015.  I felt that I had been on my library journey long enough to share some of what I have learned about french immersion resources.

I titled my presentation: Developing an elementary French Immersion Learning Commons to promote literacy

My presentation covered: considerations when selecting french immersion resources, sources for book reviews (and how to adjust them for immersion), books and authors for students (students that start reading like to read series or authors), book resources for teachers ( to promote literacy, or sources of questions for literature circles).  Some of the information I have already shared in my blog.
My handout can be found on the BCTLA conference link above.

What I enjoyed the most was the sharing between the audience and myself.  When I introduced an idea, a number of the audience members shared their knowledge about the topic.  Ideas that were shared included: authors that were beloved in their school, other sites for book reviews and ways to encourage reading in french.

Thanks to the BCTLA for this opportunity!
