These are some links and ideas to keep French fresh for next year. In coming 7th graders, remember that you will be 8th graders next year, and that it will be a great, but maybe challenging year. Books to read for our history unit will be added at the bottom of this page.
The first ones are magazines.
Reading something that interests you is a good way to enjoy this skill.
You can also make a point of choosing to learn a few words (5 or 6) per
article to built up your French lexicon.
