French 6 consists of 5 Modules divided into 13 sections. Each section has 10 daily lessons, approximately 30 minutes each in length. It is important to work through Modules 1, 2, 3, and 4 in this order since concepts build on each other. However Module 5 can be inserted at appropriate times of the year. For example, Remembrance Day can be completed in November. Most school years consist of 200 days. Notice that there are only 130 days of work. The remaining 70 days are to be used to play games and practice what is being taught. Module One: My Health and Well-Being Module Two: My Neighbourhood Module Three: Alberta - My Province Module Four: The Environment Module Five: Holidays and Celebrations
