LA VIE QUOTIDIENNE D'AUTRE FOIS.

National Film Board of Canada, 1984. Sound Filmstrip. 2 filmstrips. 35 frames. $68.00. (1. Jamie adore manger. 2. Le cadeau de brin de laine). Includes teacher's guide and 2 cassettes. Distributed by McIntyre.

Grades 4 to 6

Volume 16 Number 6
1988 November


Using artists' humorous sketches throughout, these filmstrips explore farm life in Quebec a century or more ago from a girl's and boy's point of view. In the process, vocabulary for foods and clothesmaking is developed. Daily routines are also presented. The sentence structure is simple, using present tense throughout, but vocabulary is precise and style, idiomatic. Thus Core French students would find this challenging material. However, the commentary is short, and the drawings are soft-toned and pleasing. With a little preparation Core students could probably handle the text. The manual contains the text of the narration only.

Recommended.
