French 4 consists of 4 Modules divided into 16 sections. Each section has 10 daily lessons, approximately 30 minutes each in length. It is important to work through Modules One, Two, and Three in this order, since the concepts build on each other. However Module Four can be inserted at appropriate times of the year. For example, Halloween can be done during the last two weeks of October. Note that in Module Four students can choose to do two of the five Sections. Therefore, in order to complete this course, students are expected to do 13 of the 16 Sections. Module One: My Classroom Module Two: Who Am I? Module Three: My Immediate Family Module Four: Holidays and Celebrations

This is a great free site for kids to create and share stories in comic form. I tried it and found it to be a very simple interface. You select a page layout and can add your own pictures or pictures from the web. You add your choice of talk balloons and double click to add the text. You can also add text for titles. There are some good examples of student work on the site, e.g. on the French Revolution.
