F101 Project Fall 2013
Chansons fle

Le travail doit être votre travail personnel – sans exception.

Le projet se divise en trois étapes :
  Première étape: Choix de chanson
    1. Choose a song from Chansons fle that pleases or interests you. Everyone must have a unique song, that is, no song may be selected by more than one student.
    2. Record your choice in Blackboard > Tools > Wikis > French 101 Project.
    3. Make certain that no one has already chosen the same song.
    4. Make certain you have included Your name, title of song, artist (singer) and the URL.
    5. Due: le vendredi 27 septembre.

  Deuxième étape: Analyse personnelle de la chanson
    Research the singer and songwriter in google.fr. Address as completely as you are able the following tasks and questions:
    1. What is the subject and / or theme of the song?
    2. How does the title of the song relate to its content?
    3. What would be a good title in English?
    4. Why does this song attract you or why might someone else like it?
    5. What can you tell us abut the singer or singwriter?
    6. Which vocabulary items are clearly linked to the subject / theme?
    7. List all the verbs used throughout the song in their infinitive form (être, donner, etc.).
    8. How is the register of address handled, especially, tu and vous and formulas of politeness, if any.
    9. How do the words and the music relate to each other.
    10. Is there anything peculiarly French about the song? Do you know of a song in English that is similar?
    Due le lundi 7 octobre.

  Troisième étape: Présentation de la chanson
    Du lundi 7 octobre au lundi 14 octobre.
